If you havent heard, the current real estate market is expensive. Like, really expensive. And no, I dont mean its expensive somewhere else like in California, or even Dallas. Im talking about everywhere, including Sulphur Springs. Prices are increasing daily, and homes are flying off the market before the folks next door notice a For Sale sign in their neighbors yard. And unfortunately theres no projected improvement anytime soon.

So what are we to make of all this? Why should you care about housing prices? What is your family supposed to do when youre struggling to buy something? There are so many questions I get asked on a regular basis and today I have some answers.

The thing is theres not enough space in this article for all of them. However, what I do want to focus on is the first-time homebuyers. Bad news first? Now is the worst time to be a first-time homebuyer in decades, and possibly in the history of this town. The numbers dont lie. Over the last 5 years, median reported sales prices of single-family homes have increased a whopping 58.3%, (NTREIS) while the median household income has only increased 26.4% (US Census Bureau).

This in turn means that your dollars are worth less, and you cant buy as much house as you once could. In fact, if you bought a house 5 years ago, theres a good chance you wouldnt be able to afford it today. So, you might think If houses are more expensive than ever, gas is skyrocketing, my Walmart bill has doubled, and I havent gotten a raise in 2 years, how am I supposed to make it to next week!? Let alone buy a house! And theres no direct answer I can give on thatbut take a breath, I have some tips that could help you navigate with a clearer mind.

Keep your sanity by realizing that the prices you knew 5 years ago are gone. And likely never coming back barring a major catastrophic event. But it is also true that our problems are not unique, and some areas of the country have it worse.

When considering buying a house, as competitive as it is, a great agent will keep you sane. Having a loyal, trustworthy real estate agent who will go the extra mile for you is priceless. Use every tool at your disposal starting with a good agent. Bonus points if they are an experienced lender.

When it comes to getting a mortgage you dont need 20% down or anywhere near that much so please be careful with out of town lenders. Part of keeping your sanity here in Hopkins County is by understanding our rural real estate market is unique. And out of town lenders (especially out of state lenders) arent privy to how farm and ranch properties work. I would love to get into more details about this but trust me, it helps working with banks that are familiar with our area. If you do go out-of-state, be prepared for a process that can be extra stressful that could possibly end with a negative experience.

Now that youre armed with a knowledgeable and trustworthy agent, youll need to find a house. And in this market, it takes a combination of patience and swift action to decide whats best. Like I mentioned earlier theres a good chance that house will be sold very quickly. Keep the crazy out of the hunt by communicating with your agent! They can set up automatic searches tailored for you so you receive automated emails the moment a house hits the market. An agent also has available tools to assist you in finding those properties that meet your criteria and help specify options.

The homebuying process is one of the most heavily regulated processes in the country. There are legal guidelines, inspection periods for due diligence, and other various rules that real estate agents have to abide by. A real estate agent should do everything within their power to provide protection for you during this process. By hiring a good one, youll keep your sanity as your agent handles the burden of the contract negotiation process.

The local market has unfortunately been a sore subject for several years. But this is my hometown and Im not here to speak on the horrors of markets like the Bay Area or Toronto. I am only here to help put everything into perspective for those that may be unaware. In my opinion, these high prices are unfortunate because the median income can no longer afford the median house.

For this article, I included homes only on 5 acres or less to prevent skewing the numbers from typical single-family homes below:

There are numerous causes for this, but the result always ends with working class families consistently being expected to do more with less. As much as Id love to propose solutions, my goal for this article is to spread awareness. Perhaps, you will come away with a better understanding and insight of the recent trends.

Although affordable homes are harder to find, rest assured that they do exist. With a little patience and the right people on your side, you can make it happen!

God Bless.

Actor Gabriele Angieri of Burnsville went with his family to see the play The Family Line at the Capri Theater in Minneapolis. The 2-man show takes place entirely within a car, as a Jewish grandfather and his 15-year old biracial grandson meet for the first time and embark on a 24-hour road trip from Florida to Minnesota.

The grandson, whose mother has just died, struggles with a sense of abandonment as his grandfather swoops into his life to deliver him to a new life in Minnesota with a father he does not know. Set in 2020 during the unrest in Minneapolis, it's a show interwoven with family secrets and social commentary that Angieri said sparked both laughter and tears, as well as an excellent discussion with his 12 year-old daughter afterward.

The Family Line is the second show for Stage North, which launched in fall of 2021 with a focus on plays about urban life. Its shows are performed at the newly remodeled Capri Theater in North Minneapolis. Stage North has a partnership with Patrick Henry High School Drama Club, whose student members worked on the crew for the show.

The show runs through April 17th, with 2 PM matinees Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday and evening shows Friday and Saturday at 7:30 PM.

Fiber and textile artist Nora Rickey has enjoyed watching Cecilia Rolandos evolving art show at the Front Porch Coffee & Tea Co. in Ely. In place since January, the show has been extended through April, and Rolando has continued to add new work as pieces sell. Rolandos creative work is wide-ranging, from realistic watercolor florals to bold abstract paintings, from collages to jewelry to haiku. Rickey says the throughlines of the visual work on display are Rolandos vivid colors, which add to the warmth of the popular community coffee shop. If you miss the show at the Front Porch, Rolandos work is also on display at Art and Soul Gallery and Gift House down the street.

Bassist Rob Morgan clearly recalls the massive transition he made from music student to touring performer, and hes excited to see a theater version of that launching ground when the University of Minnesota/Guthrie Theaters BFA students mount The School for Lies, starting Friday. This will be the first time in two years that graduating seniors in the acting program will take to the Dowling Stage on the Guthries 9th floor. The play by David Ives is an adaptation of Molieres classic comedy Le Misanthrope, so you can expect to see larger-than-life characters and drama with plenty of witty repartee. Scenes, costume, light, and sound were all designed by University of Minnesota faculty. The show runs through April 23.

The show, which was inspired by the original film, was a supernatural drama starring Tyler Posey as Scott McCall.

Posey and much of the original cast is back for the movie, which is being billed as a revival of the show, according to an article by Variety. The cast includes Holland Roden, Shelley Hennig, Crystal Reed, Orny Adams, Linden Ashby, JR Bourne, Colton Haynes, Ryan Kelley, Melissa Ponzio, and Dylan Sprayberry.

A synopsis on IMDb says, A full moon rises in Beacon Hills, and with it a terrifying evil has emerged. The wolves are howling once again, calling for the return of Banshees, Werecoyotes, Hellhounds, Kitsunes, and every other shapeshifter in the night. But only a werewolf like Scott McCall, no longer a teenager yet still an Alpha, can gather both new allies and reunite trusted friends to fight back against what could be the most powerful and deadliest enemy they've ever faced.

Variety quoted Chris McCarthy, president and CEO of ViacomCBS Media Networks and MTV Entertainment Studios: Teen Wolf was a global cultural phenomenon that spawned one of the largest and most loyal fandoms we are thrilled to partner with the incredibly talented Jeff Davis to reward the fans, reignite this franchise with an original movie, and launch a brand-new series Wolf Pack for Paramount+.

TeenWolffandom.com says California-based sets from the show were used in initial filming before production moved to the Atlanta area on April 4, 2022.

Stonegate Fellowship leaders are attempting to connect with Midlanders in their 20s and 30s for a different type of worship and ministry

The plan is to start a Porch Live location in downtown Midland, beginning Tuesday.

The Porch is a program that started with a church in Dallas called Watermark. Every Tuesday, thousands gather in Dallas and even more at our livestream locations around the country, according to the website -- http://www.theporch.live. Lives are changing, friendships are forming, and many are finding hope they never had before. Through messages, music, and relationships with other young adults, our goal is to walk alongside you through the highs and lows of adulting. From talks about dating, relationships, anxiety and more, we are learning what it looks like to live a life full of purpose.

Stonegate Fellowship leaders said Midland will be the 14th location to join the livestream, and they want young professionals in the city no matter their church preference to come along. And in this case, they will meet the 20- and 30-somethings in a professional setting the Second Story Coworking Space, 223 West Wall St. suite 200 (above Cancun Grill in downtown Midland).

Doors will open at 7, said Chase Gilbert, the student pastor at Stonegate. The service begins at 7:15 (p.m.). We see this being a city-wide thing and wanted to capitalize with the push toward downtown, with Centennial Park. We see the city very intentionally making downtown the place to be. We want to take advantage of that and use that.

So, after work, get dinner, stay downtown and go to the Porch. We want it to be the place to be for that age demographic.

Gilbert talked about the younger men and women who are making Midland their homes. The Porch will help identify those issues that young singles face, including the culture struggle. The Porch also provides a ministry opportunity for those young adults that havent connected with a more traditional church institution. Single or married, the Porch should be a place to gather and help navigate lifes ups and down and to love and serve Jesus.

They know their target audience, Gilbert said. They will speak about things that a 20- or 30-year-old will face.

Now, it is a matter of getting the word out. Gilbert said they attracted more than 100 followers in their first full week on Instagram and have expectations of at least 50 or 60 who are interested.

We want there to be excitement across the city, Gilbert said. We want this to be a city-wide thing, not a Stonegate thing.

Gilbert added that movements happen with younger age groups, and those movements create people who emerge as the next leaders.

We will see God use this and raise future leaders to lead our city and state, Gilbert said.

CHICAGO (CBS) Following two back-to-back storms, the entire Chicago area has been left under several inches of snow and ice.

As CBS 2 meteorologist Tammie Souza explains, arctic air will settle across the region tonight plunging us to near zero with the coldest temperatures since last February.

Black ice becomes the problem on sidewalks, stairs, driveway and porches and with temperatures not expected to go above freezing for the next seven days that ice becomes dangerous if not treated.

Applying a thin layer of Ice Melt pellets or flakes is the best way to minimize the ice threat. What type of Ice Melt depends on the air temperature.

The most commonly used melt is rock salt, better known as sodium chloride. One pound can melt up to 46 pounds of ice. Unfortunately it is only effective to about 20 degrees F and stops working below that temperature.

With our temperatures expected to be at or below zero the next few nights there are other options that will work better at such low temperatures.

In extreme cold experts recommend using either Calcium Chloride or Magnesium Chloride. Calcium chloride will melt ice down to -25 degrees F and is the most gentle on walkways and surfaces.

Magnesium Chloride works well down to -10 degrees F and works the fastest. It is also considered more environmentally friendly than the other two.

Remember to always keep any ice melt product away from children and pets and wipe off your pets paws after they walk through a treated area.

Editor's Note: The Porch Talk series explores the most recent happenings around town and what residents think about it.

As the new year begins, Maury Countyresidents have faced significant blustery winter weather from windy snowfall and sleet to icy road conditions that haveled to the closure of schools and local government offices.

Even though winter weather can cause some inconveniences, many cozy memories can be made with friends and family while snowed indoors.

In recognition of the recent snowfall and dips in temperature, The Daily Herald askedwilling participants this question: What is your favorite thing to do on a snowy day?

"My favorite thing to do when when it'ssnowing is to sit inside with a cup of hot cocoa or coffee and just enjoy the view because it is so pretty. "

- Megan Hendrickson, Culleoka

"My big thing is sledding. We would spend hours outside, and my mom would make us snow cream and hot chocolate when we would finally go back inside. I don't know if other people do this, but to make snow cream, she would go outsideandget the top layer of snow and make it into like a snow cone, mixing it with vanilla extract and sugar."

- Katie Belt, Clarksville

"What I do when I'm snowed in isgrab my camera and head outside. Sometimes I'll get in my car when it's not too bad, and I will find my favorite spots to grab a photo. There's a pond in my backyard, and I'll take pictures of the ducks or whatever is out there on the pond."

- Kellye Murphy, Columbia Tourism & Marketing Director, Columbia

"I've got a driveway that's about a quarter mile uphill. So, for fun I go out there and clear it. I'll also hang out with my mom, who is a 'tough old bird'and about to turn 80 years old and still works. So when we're snowed in, I'll spend a day with her, enjoying some days off together, because my one day off is usually yard work or house work."

- Charlie Pignato, Williamsport

"I dont like it. I stay inside, and I dont go out if I don't have to. When I was young, it used to snow a lot here. I prefer to stay inside and watch TV; sports, if they are on."

- David Joyce, Columbia

"I have two acres, and it keeps me busy. I have to clear downed branches and ice. I prefer the summer, mowing grass and planting flowers."

- Bettye McNeese, Columbia

"I love playing with my son. First, we play in the snow, make a snowman and snow angels. Then, we go inside to have hot chocolate, and then we have a pillow fight."

- Victoria Beard-Fitzpatrick, Columbia

"Mainly, I stay in and study for my teaching degree that I am seeking as a student at Columbia State Community College. After teachinghome school for 26 years and being a home school consultant, I realized I want to be a teacher in the classroom. I also love sipping a cup of hot tea and diffusing essential oils to enjoy the aroma."

- Alicia Meese, Columbia

Porch Pirate + Homeless Impact Study + Cold And Snow On The Way - Patch.com

A man who was awarded 105,000 for a fall in the porch of his council house after drinking claimed this week "five pints is nothing" after the award was overturned.

homas Keegan successfully sued Sligo County Council in the High Court in 2017 for injuries sustained in a fall at his council property in McNeill Drive in Sligo in 2013.

But Mr Keegan, who was given 30,000 of the award after the original case, also told the Sunday World that he no longer has the money.

He had successfully argued that despite being a tenant, he was just a visitor to the council property where he had lived for nine years and the council were the occupier so were responsible for the porch being slippery.

However, the Court of Appeal ruled that the case be reheard in the High Court as in the original case Mr Justice Anthony Barr had discounted alcohol as a factor in the fall "purely on the basis of the judge's own opinion and not on the basis of evidence".

It also ruled that the judge had not considered the question of Mr Keegan's own knowledge of the tiles having lived there for nine years.

Last week, the High Court found that Mr Keegan failed to prove the council was in any way responsible for the fall after finding the tiles did not pose a danger and that as a tenant at the property he had control over the condition and cleanliness of the tiles.

On the day of the accident Mr Keegan had been at a funeral and had five pints of Guinness before coming home and slipping on the tiles of his porch at the council house. Mr Keegan said the pints had no bearing on his fall.

"Sure, five pints is nothing," Mr Keegan told the Sunday World. "And they were five quick pints that day too because it was a cold old day. I was only coming from a funeral. I bought a bit of grub as well to come home with. You'd drink a lot more. It's only when the bad weather was here [that the porch was slippy]."

Mr Keegan said he wasn't even aware of the latest High Court ruling when we spoke to him at his home this week.

The former construction worker suffered a fracture to his left distal tibia and fibula in the fall and told the Sunday World that he has had four operations on his leg since and can no longer work. He is currently on disability payments.

Mr Keegan said the publicity around the original case caused him great hassle and people in Sligo believed he had been paid the 105,000.

"The papers wrote a load of sh*t. There was 10 different stories every day. I was getting assaulted over the town and I thought I was going to be robbed. The papers put the headline in that it was 105,000 and they all thought I got it.

"If I got the 105,000 there were houses going cheap enough then I would bought one for myself and got away from those."

While he wasn't given the 105,000 following the initial High Court victory in 2017, the judge in that case did order he be paid 30,000 of the sum pending an appeal from Sligo County Council's and their insurers.

His lawyers were also given an additional 20,000 in costs.

The council and insurers are now seeking to recover that money, but Mr Keegan told the Sunday World the money he got is already gone.

"I haven't got it... I can agree to give them 5 or 10 a month and I can default on that a month later. It'll cost them more money to bring me to court.

"I found out lately that [the council] have their own insurance company and nobody takes them on. They have their own insurance company [which insures councils] over the whole of Ireland. They've won a good few cases lately."

He said he was disappointed to learn from the Sunday World that the High Court ruled in favour of the council last week.

"Ah I am. I was looking for a few pound out of it. I'm on disability. My leg is f***ed. I've had four operations on this leg."

He said the accident ended his ability to work on sites.

"I'll never walk right again."

He showed us his mobility scooter which he said he now uses to get around because he can't walk for too long.

Mr Keegan added that before the accident he had planned to go back to England to work on sites there.

"I worked for a load of years in England have a load of contacts. Here it's not the same for me. I used to do the paving and kerbing and drive the machines. You were paid for what you do. Here you're just a general operative. A fella who knows nothing, who is just wheeling a barrow, gets paid the same money."

He said the council came to remove the tiles on the porch last month - seven years after the accident.

"They took it all out just before Christmas. They came here around the middle of December. There was no warning; they just came and said 'we're taking the tiles up'. That's how slow they are.

"It's ugly looking but it's safer. I had a lot more mats down [afterwards]. That concrete goes black. The tiles were lethal. Half of the area was taken up after my court case."

In the original case, Mr Justice Barr found that the council were responsible for the house and though he was a tenant Mr Keegan was a visitor to the property, therefore the council were liable for damages.

However, in the new High Court ruling on the case last week Mr Justice John Jordan said it was "artificial" for Mr Keegan to suggest he was a visitor of the council-owned house which he rented and occupied.

The judge also noted that council did not argue the consumption of five pints by Mr Keegan was an act of contributory negligence but argued it as a factor in regard to Mr Keegan's duty to take reasonable care for his own safety and in his conflicting accounts of how the accident occurred.

Having heard expert evidence from Michael Morris, a professor of surface and interface engineering at Trinity College Dublin, the court was satisfied the unglazed tiles did not pose a danger on the premises.

Mr Justice Jordan said the court does not know what, if any, dirt or grime or other matter was present on the tiled surface when the plaintiff slipped, although it found it was probably wet.

The plaintiff failed to prove the council was "in any way responsible" for the accident, the judge added.

The council are now seeking the return of the 30,000 paid to Mr Keegan after his initial High Court victory and are also seeking the return 20,000 in fees paid to Mr Keegan's legal team.

Mr Keegan told the Sunday World he intended to contact his lawyers to find out more about the judgement.

He added: "You might give me a few pounds for the story, will you?"

We replied that we couldn't pay him for the story.
