You can take some steps to make your home less inviting for a would-be burglar.

+ Pretend you are a burglar. Case your own home. Walk around and look at your home like a burglar would. Are windows frequently left open and on the ground level? Is there a sliding glass door that could stand a little extra protection? Are expensive items easy to see from the outside? A few simple adjustments like moving a computer and closing windows may make your house less tempting.

+ Lock your doors. Although we know we need to lock our doors when we go out, a lot of times we simply don't. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics notes that 40 percent of burglaries don't include forced entry. Thieves literally are just walking in and taking what they want. A locked…

 It was announced that the Ice Castles are officially returning to Dillon, Colorado this winter.

Dillon is of one of six locations that will host the Utah-based ice attraction. This will be the second consecutive year the small mountain town will host the event, and professional ice artists are already preparing to grow and harvest the icicles as early as November. These will be used to build tunnels, fountains, slides, towers up to 40 feet tall and other carved attractions that will be illuminated with colored LED lights.

The Ice Castles were created when founder Brent Christensen attempted to build an ice cave with his daughter. After many failed attempts, Christensen figured out a successful way to craft the massive, ice sculptures and soon…

After more than a year of fanfare, competition and city government prostrations, Amazon’s announcement of its second headquarters location is imminent.

Back in September 2017 the e-commerce company first asked for proposals from North American cities on where to house its HQ2, which would come with 50,000 jobs and $5 billion in capital spending for the winning city.

Amazon said it was looking for a city equal to its Seattle headquarters, and would preference those with lots of tech talent, good public transit and attractive tax exemptions. After receiving more than 200 proposals, Amazon culled those to 20 finalists in January.

While Amazon has been mum about the winning city, plenty of people have placed their bets. NYU business professor…

BREAKING NEWS via RIS Media: The average 30-year, fixed mortgage is nearing 5 percent, leaping 19 basis points to 4.90 percent this week, according to Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®)—the highest it’s been in seven years.

Home sales fell for the second month in a row as a lack of inventory put would-be buyers in a holding pattern, even as interest rates are on track to continue inching higher.

The National Association of Realtors reported last week that sales of existing homes fell more than 3 percent in January, the largest decline in three years on an annualized basis. The trade group said this drop, combined with December’s falloff in sales, brings existing home sales down by almost 5 percent from a year ago.

NAR chief economist Lawrence Yun blamed the slump not on a lack of demand, but on a lack of homes available for people to buy. “The data shows we’re still in a very tight supply situation and the demand does not appear to have retracted,” he said. “The…
