The Jacksonville Present Home Insurance

With what happened with hurricane Sandy last month, people across the nation were talking about home insurance. Homeowners and renters nationwide are getting more informed about what's covered within their policies and how it affects their homes. The local Jacksonville movers know there are many insurance companies out there with various types of coverage and eligibility requirements. For example, a fire insurance is different than a home insurance policy. The fire policies are typically less expensive but also offer a more limited coverage. The local Jacksonville moving specialists learned this type of coverage is generally more bought by landlords for their rental properties. There are various sections within home insurance, each with their own coverage. One section covers the roof, walls, plumbing and electrical systems. Another section covers other structures that are detached from the main one such as a detached garage or a shed. Homeowners can also insure their personal property for named perils like fire and lighting, theft, water escaping from plumbing, windstorm, rain and damage from vehicles or flying objects.

The All My Sons of Jacksonville suggest you review your insurance policy carefully so that you can make the best decision for you and your family as well as your property. Try to find that right balance between cost and coverage that's right for you.

Foreclosures Cost Neighbors $1.95 trillion

The All My Sons of Jacksonville know that home residential foreclosures affect not only the families that are evicted and the lenders, it also has an impact of neighborhoods. According to a new report from The Center for ResponsibleLending, Americans have lost almost 2 trillion in equity from nearby foreclosures. That's the equity that was lost by the neighbors from homes that were foreclosed on from 2007 and 2011, not the losses that the foreclosed homeowners themselves were subjected to or even the tax revenue the communities have lost. The local Jacksonville movers learned that Americans are estimated to have lost $7 trillion in equity during the foreclosure crisis. All My Sons of Jacksonville moving specialists found out more than half of the $1.95 trillion in lost equity came from minority homeowners with neighborhoods that suffered disproportionately from bad subprime loans.

Home Prices Up for 5th Month

According to the S&P/Case-Shiller Price Indices reported that August prices were up in 19 out of the 20 cities since July ad up in 17 cities year-over-year. Home prices across the U.S these days are back to what they were back in the summer of 2003. The 20-city index is 2% above its level from 2011. The local Jacksonville movers learned that home prices did decrease in three cities since last year including Atlanta (by 6.1%), New York (by 2.3%) and Chicago (by 1.6%). Even though Atlanta had declines in home prices compared to last year, prices did go up from July to August. All My Sons of Jacksonville found out that even with this slow, steady recovery, three cities are still reporting home prices that are lower than 2000 levels. These cities include Atlanta, Las Vegas and Detroit. The real estate market in Phoenix did the best with increases of 18.8% in home prices. Detroit followed up with increases in 7.5%. Minneapolis was next and Miami followed up with home prices that increased by 6.7%.

Moving In Together

More and more unmarried couples are moving in together these days. The last statistics reported that over 7.5 million unmarried couples lived together in 2010. And due to the recession, some of these households only have one partner holding a job. If you're thinking of moving in together with your loved one, the local Jacksonville movers suggest you be strategic about your financials. By moving in together, you'll be saving on several expenses from your rent to utility bills to groceries and more. All My Sons of Jacksonville suggest you take that time to really make those savings work for the both of you. You both want to save separately, not only for the sake of the household but also so that you're prepared if you need to move out. Make sure to communicate at all times and understand that there will be compromises once you move in together. You'll have more flexibility with your income, allowing you to explore different activities or hobbies together, possibly even take a trip together. Use that time to get to know each other even more and check in with each other on how the both of you are adapting to moving in together.
