Things To Do Orlando: Spring Awakening

June 20th, 2016 by tisner

Spring Awakening

DayStar Studio Productions has announced that the groundbreaking rock musical SPRING AWAKENING will play at the Alexis and Jim Pugh Theater at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts June 19 through 26.

Tickets to SPRING AWAKENING at the Dr. Phillips Center go on sale Friday, May 6, at 10AM.

Just as on Broadway, the show will have a limited number of on-stage seats available for purchase. These seats provide an exciting and unique way for guests to experience the performance with the action of the show taking place all around them.

Winner of eight Tony Awards including Best Musical, SPRING AWAKENING follows a group of young students as they navigate through teenage self-discovery and coming of age anxiety. Set against the backdrop of a repressive and provincial late 19th century Germany, SPRING AWAKENING is a powerful celebration of youth and rebellion.

Based on the infamous 1891 Frank Wedekind play, the landmark musical is a stirring combination of morality, sexuality and rock & roll that is exhilarating audiences across the nation like no other musical in years. SPRING AWAKENING features an award-winning and electrifying story with a score by Duncan Sheik, book and lyrics by Steven Sater, and original direction and choreography by Michael Mayer and Bill T. Jones, respectively.

WHEN:  Friday, June 24, 2016 @ 8pm

Single Women Make Up 2nd Largest Home Buying Group

June 15th, 2016 by tisner

single women

According to the National Association of Realtors™ (NAR) 2015 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, single women made up 18% of all first-time homebuyers last year, second only to married couples who made up 54% of total buyers. Whether they are young, single and no longer want to rent, or newly divorced, the amount of single women becoming homeowners greatly outnumbers single males (11%). A survey of recent home buyers revealed some interesting trends about this rapidly growing group:

  • Average Age: 32 years old
  • Average Income: $49,400
  • Single women are more likely to become preapproved for a mortgage in order to know their budget at the beginning of the home buying process and to be able to make a move if they find their dream home.
  • Many female homebuyers think long-term when considering buying a home, often considering what amenities they may need in the near future.

So what do women like best about homeownership? They believe that they are investing in their future by building equity and financial security. They are also very happy to no longer be paying their landlord’s mortgage payment. Being independent and having control over their environment is a key factor.

It appears that it is not marriage before mortgage any longer, for either gender. As we reported yesterday, unmarried couples make up 13% of buyers, while single males account for 11%.

Bottom Line

If owning a home of your own has always been your dream, meet with a local real estate professional who can help determine if your dream can become a reality sooner than you think.

How To Get Your Free Credit Report

June 9th, 2016 by tisner

free credit report

Did you know that you are entitled to a free credit report once a year from all of the major credit reporting companies?  I don’t know about you but that is news to me!  If you are in the market to purchase a new home and have not had your credit report pulled lately you may be happy to find this news out!  By checking your credit report before you purchase a home or for any other reason for that matter you will be able to  see if there is anything on your credit report that is not accurate and remove it and you may also be able to find out if you have been the latest victim of identity theft.  The major credit reporting companies are Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian.  If you want to get your yearly free credit report  all you have to do is go to each of these sites and click on “Request Your Credit Reports”.  You can also send a letter to each of the three major credit reporting companies.   A few tips to follow are below.

  • Be sure that if you get on a credit report website and are asked for money that you do not respond. There are many hackers out there trying to get your information and this is just one of the many ways in which they do it.
  • Do not give out your social security number unless you are on a site that you know is secure.
  • Check your credit report every four months or so to be sure that your account hasn’t been compromised.
  • There are credit monitoring companies you can hire to keep a watchful eye on your credit report if you feel it is necessary to do so.

Again, be sure that you are not asked for any monies when trying to get your free credit report. Be assured that there are many companies out there that claim they will give you a free credit report only to ask you for your credit card information at the very last step.  Step away from those companies and continue with your search until you find one that lets you leave the page without asking for any form of payment.  Once you get your report you can then be on your way to making any changes needed to help improve your score.  When you get your credit where you want it and where it needs to be, the world will open up to you in ways you never thought possible.

Things To Do Orlando: Silver Spurs Rodeo and Wrangler Champions Challenge

June 6th, 2016 by tisner

Silver Spurs Rodeo and Wrangler Champions Challenge

The Silver Spurs Rodeo will kick off the start of summer with performances on June 10th and 12th! Both performances are put on by the Silver Spurs Club, a local 501(c)(5) nonprofit formed more than 70 years ago. The Silver Spurs Rodeo will include traditional rodeo events including bull riding, bareback bronc riding, saddle bronc riding, tie-down roping, barrel racing, steer wrestling, and team roping. To keep our rodeo’s traditions, there will be the calf scramble for the children to participate in during the rodeo.

The Wrangler Champions Challenge presented by Justin Boots is a Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) event that is hosted by the Silver Spurs Club. This performance is a one-night header with the seven standard PRCA events: tie-down roping, team roping, steer roping, barrel racing (women only), bull riding, bronc riding, and saddle bronc riding. The biggest difference between the Wrangler Champions Challenge and the Silver Spurs Rodeo is that the Champions Challenge is the fifth stop of the 2016 series of eight single-round rodeo performances. During this performance, top cowboys are pitted against the best livestock and are competing for their share of $128,000 in prize money!

WHEN:  Friday, June 10th, 2016 – 7:30pm-10:30pm
WHERE:  The Silver Spurs Rodeo
COST: 15

The Presidential Election and Its Impact on Housing

May 27th, 2016 by tisner

The Presidential Election and Its Impact on Housing | Keeping Current Matters

Every four years people question what effect the Presidential election might have on the national housing market. Let’s take a look at what is currently taking place. The New York Times ran an article earlier this week where they explained:

“A growing body of research shows that during presidential election years — particularly ones like this when there is such uncertainty about the nation’s future — industry becomes almost paralyzed. A look at the last several dozen election cycles shows that during the final year of a presidential term, big corporate investments are routinely postponed, and big deals are put on the back burner. The research is even more persuasive on the final year of an eight-year presidential term, when a new candidate inevitably will become president.”

We are seeing this take form in the latest economic numbers. However, will this lead to a slowdown in the housing market? Not according to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or the National Association of Realtors.

The Impact on Housing Throughout 2016

Let’s look at what has happened and what is projected to happen by these three major entities.

National Association of Realtors

“In spite of deficient supply levels, stock market volatility and the paltry economic growth seen so far this year, the housing market did show resilience and had its best first quarter of existing-sales since 2007.”

Freddie Mac

“Recent data darkened the growth outlook for the first quarter of 2016. However, despite the disappointing economic reports, we still forecast housing to maintain its momentum in 2016.”

Fannie Mae

“Consumers and businesses showed caution at the end of the first quarter…(but) Home sales are expected to pick up heading into the spring season amid the backdrop of declining mortgage rates, rising pending home sales and purchase mortgage applications, and continued easing of lending standards on residential mortgage loans.”

Bottom Line

Even during this election year, the desire to achieve the American Dream is greater than the fear of uncertainty of the next presidency.

Tips To Make Your Move a Success

May 26th, 2016 by tisner

move to new home

The big day is almost here!  You and your family are moving out of your old house into a new home! It’s an exciting time, however moving can be a huge headache if you go into it unprepared.  Below are a few tips and ideas on how to make your move a success.

  • If you plan to hire a moving company to take care of your move for you, don’t be afraid to do your homework on the different moving companies. There are some moving companies out there that will help to make your move a lot easier while there are others that can simply make the entire process a nightmare.  You owe it to yourself to do a bit of research and to find the best moving company you possibly can.
  • Another bit of advice for moving from one house to another is to prep for the move ahead of time. Make sure that your movers know if they will be moving heavy things such as kitchen appliances and have them unplugged and cleaned out before the movers arrive so that they can easily and quickly get the heavy objects taken out of the way.
  • Get your packing done before the big moving day arrives. Moving companies do not want to be tripping over you while you are frantically packing last minute items into boxes that have yet to be taped and ready to move.  If you have your job done before the movers arrive, they will be able to get their job done in a quick and successful manner.  It’s also a good idea to stack your boxes against the walls of the rooms so that the movers can easily move about as they are working.  Again, if your job is done, their job will be easier and all will be happy.
  • Label your boxes so that movers will understand what room it goes in. If you label the boxes with your kid’s names, it’s likely the movers will have no idea which room the box belongs in once they arrive at your new home.  Keep it simple and label the boxes accordingly.

If you do your part to make sure you have done all you can do to make the move an easy process,  the moving company will be free to do their job and do it right.
