Like many Americans, you may be planning to have a festive Fourth of July. Along with bbq’s and the day at the Table Rock Lake, no July holiday celebration would be complete without enjoying the fireworks that celebrate the birth of our nation.  For a list of firework attractions CLICK HERE

We need to remember our pets when outlining safety with fireworks.  Perhaps you are considering staying at home and planning a get-together with friends and family. Or, you may want to go check out your local professional fireworks display. While putting the finishing touches on your planned celebration, take a moment to consider how to keep your pets safe during fireworks.

Unlike people, pets don’t associate the noise, flashes, and burning smell of pyrotechnics with celebrations. Pets are often terrified of fireworks, and often panic at the loud whizzes and bangs they produce.

Because of this, the American Humane Association reports that July 5 is the busiest day of the year for animal shelters. Why? It is reported that animal shelters the day after Fourth of July are “inundated with pets that panicked at the noise of firecrackers and fled into the night, winding up lost, injured or killed.”

Why Now Is A Great Time to Buy A House

by

Its a great time to buy a house with the market currently booming and many buyers are looking for a new home despite low market inventory. One key reason the housing market is prospering is record or near record low mortgage rates. But there are other factors would-be homeowners need to consider when deciding whether now is a good time to buy.

Why Now Is A Great Time to Buy A House

As any realtor will tell you, buying a house has much to do with timing.  The question I am most often asked right now, “So is now a good time to buy a house?” That can be a loaded question that may have many variables. It is very cliché to say that, “Now is the time to buy,” but actually, right now, that answer really is true.  With mortgage interest rates at or near historic lows now is definitely a perfect time to buy your dream home.  click here to search listings in Springfield.
