With Bradenton, Florida having one of the highest foreclosure rates in the country, many people look to the Bradenton real estate market as an indicator of whether or not the real estate market has bottomed out.According to James Cramer, writer for New York Magazine, the time to buy a home may be very, very soon!In fact, Cramer provides ten reasons in his article, On June 30, 2009, Buy an Apartment, “why everyone who now thinks there’s no end in sight to weakening home prices will look like a fool in nine months and will miss the best opportunity to buy since the 1989-1991 real-estate crash.”Cramer points to the Bradenton real estate market and the Bradenton foreclosure rate as one of his top ten reasons that he thinks the real estate market will turn around and turn around soon.However, while Cramer writes from New York City on how the Bradenton real estate market has bottomed out in the summer of 2008, the fact is, as a Bradenton real estate agent, I have still seen first-hand a decline in prices over the past 5 months. Although there does seem to be a slight leveling off, whether or not the Bradenton real estate market has hit rock bottom is a question that remains to be answered.Cramer does however present some other good points in his article and hopefully his prediction is correct.His best argument, I believe, is the decline in new-home construction thereby narrowing the gap between supply and demand.Another indicator that the gap between supply and demand may be narrowing in the Bradenton real estate market is that the number of listings added to the Mid-Florida MLS has been down over the past couple of months. Then again, this may a false indicator as many people wait until after the holidays to list their home. If MLS listings continue to decline in January then we may have a true indicator that the supply and demand gap is truly narrowing and that the Bradenton real estate market is in fact going to bounce back very soon.

These days, we have been warned about another wave of this virus. Therefore, the importance of clean air has been increasing day by day.

The impact of pollution on your indoor air
No matter where you go, you will have to face the consequences of poor quality. Even if you are alone in your home, you will still be prone to polluted air. Every year, more than 1 million people lose their life because of air pollution.
According to some reports, India is among the top 10 countries in the world with the worst air quality. The effect of polluted air is more evident as people spend over 90% of their time inside their homes. Another research study found that residents are at a greater risk of covid-19.
As a matter of fact, indoor air pollution has become an international concern. We can say that pollution levels inside and in closed spaces are up to five times higher. Since most pollutants are not visible to the naked eye, you may not be able to aware of the dangers of dirty air.
Indoor air pollutants may be generated by common household items, such as cleaning agents, cooking fuel, furniture polish, pet dander, and paint. Apart from this, domestic appliances such as refrigerators and heaters may also be the common source.
Since homes are not airtight, air pollutants can easily get in. For example, smog, smoke, mold spores, and dust can get into your house through your windows or doors. Air conditioners can be used to cool down your rooms. But the downside is that they can also boost the movement of pollutants across your house.
What can you do to purify your indoor air?
Basically, air purifiers are simple devices that receive dirty air and put it out after passing it through powerful filters. Nowadays, you can choose from hundreds of air purification units available in the market. They are based on a wide range of technologies. They are available in different sizes to cover rooms of different sizes.
Nowadays, most types of air purifiers depend on HEPA technology. Initially, this technology was introduced in the 40s in order to capture pollutants from the air. Although these filters have been used for the filtration of particulate matter, they may not be that effective when it comes to eliminating volatile organic compounds.
Therefore, if you are worried about your health, we suggest that you invest in a type of device that comes with a HEPA filter. With these units, filtering your indoor air will be a piece of cake. Therefore, you can count on these devices to and ensure clean air inside your house.
