 Congrats to Brad Pitt for his "pink project."The Active Rain Eco-All-Stars "Pink" Challenge:My dream green home in Madison, WI...  if money were no object.  Being green is really about community and therefore the whole area and how it is designed is important-my home would be part of a conservation subdivision.I would have landscape that is natural for my area.  For Madison, WI this would be prairie plants.  Plenty of room for my organic garden!  (Probably a community garden)The home would have a combination of: solar and wind for my electricity, solar hot water, geothermal heating and cooling.  I couldn't pick just one, they all would have to work together.A must for my home is a healthy green interior: no voc paint, cork floors, recycled glass countertops, healthy carpets, etc...My h... 12/13/2007

  So, as I stated I've requested to be removed from the Zillow site altogether; don't think they want me to leave...Emails: From: China Moon         12/12/2007 12:37:14 PM Central Standard Time (GMT - 6:00 )         Subject: Please remove my profile from your site         I joined Zillow and was immediately bombarded with threats, derogatory language, accused of being a prostitute, and just overall high school B.S. Per your Good Neighbor Policy under Bottom line (and I for one am in favor of the 1st Amendment); no one is heeding and there's nothing 'good neighbor' about this environment.         Please remove my name, profile and headings from your site as soon as possible. Per the participants on it it isn't one I want to be affiliated with.         Thank you.  Subject: Re: Please remo... 12/13/2007

It's been quite awhile since I've been back here. I had some family things to attend to and what not.  good to be back!  I had a rude awakening on my way back; earlier this week I received an email pertaining to Zillow dot com. After registering and looking around I went in and posted an article under the Buyers section. I gave a couple of quotes, supplied the author and cited the necessities. Surely I'm the new kid on the block within these waters; I presented an article I thought was interesting and relevant to the Buyers Forum and placed my professional opinion not a sales pitch. The next thing I know, I'm a Chinese hooker with a name for heroin who doesn't have sense God gave a fleas ass. Hmmm, go figure. NOTE: I would appreciate your comments (if you have any) to be posted here on ... 12/13/2007

Housing "crisis" to spare Wisconsin According to a report released by the U.S. conference of mayors, the fallout from the mortgage crisis will be minimal in Wisconsin.  In 2008, the (national) economy will grow at a rate of 1.9%; however, the economies of Wisconsin cities are expected to grow between 2.3% and 3.4%. The result is better in Wisconsin because area prices and mortgage values did not climb as much or as rapidly as in other parts of the country. According to the report, house prices will remain stable, if not increase slightly, in Wisconsin. Nationally, home prices will fall 7% in 2008, the report says. The prediction tracks with a report last week from the Wisconsin Realtors Association. That report found that in the third quarter, home prices rose 2.4% statewide to a median... 12/11/2007

Well the snow storm came into Madison this weekend, just as expected.  Eventhough I know the storms sometimes cause a bit of havoc for some, I alwayslove being in Madison right after a snow storm.  The city always looks sobeautiful, especially with all the holiday décor.  I always look forward tothe outdoor activities that are possible once the snow finally hits theground.  There are so many activities and parks in and around Madison tochoose from, but my favorite is snow shoeing at Yellowstone Lake State Park.I love the quietness, serenity, and beauty that this portion of Madison hasto offer.  It is just one of the many local tips that I get to share withMadison home buyers moving into the area.  The Madison area truly feels likehome to me, and I enjoy so much of what is offered, both ... 12/03/2007
