HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH

FROM DEEDA: My husband and I often say it’s a good thing we bought our home when we did ve years ago. As we’ve grown our family in it, we’ve watched our neighbors’ homes y o the market at skyrocketing prices we would not have been able to aord. But things seem to be settling. Our front-page story gives an update on the housing market leading you into our annual Home Edition (see Pages 20-37). Happy hunting! Deeda Lovett, GENERAL MANAGER

FROM DARCY: The rst year I worked on Community Impact’s home guide, I was a brand- new homeowner. I learned so much in the process. I still pull out our past issues when I am navigating my own tax bill. We know readers are often too busy to call dozens of experts and debate the nuances of homestead exemptions, so we do it for you! This year, our guide will tell you about home prices, repairs and home improvement projects, and more. Darcy Sprague, EDITOR
