Home buyers must confront a host of variables in the best of times, but in recent years buyers have been forced to contend with a real estate market marked by a significant increase in home prices. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, the median home sales price in the third quarter of 2023 was $431,000. That marks a significant increase since the start of 2020, when the median sales price was $329,000. That 31 percent increase in a little less than four full years can be traced to a host of variables, not the least of which is the global COVID-19 pandemic, which officially earned that designation in early March 2020. But the rise in home prices is not as recent a phenomenon as some may think. In fact, data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis indicates the median home sales price rose by 576 percent between 1980 and the third quarter of 2023.

In April of 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr. was arrested and jailed in Birmingham, Alabama. Alone for several days in the dull “monotony of a narrow jail cell,” as he described it, King penned a letter that has been described as one of the most important historical documents ever written. Considered a classic treatise on civil disobedience, it is perhaps one of the most beautifully crafted and eloquent letters ever composed. Every American should read it.

When presented with a stack of silver bowls that are tarnished, the next step is to get out the silver polish. During my college years, one of my dearest friends gave me a place to come visit during the semester as my parents lived out of state. Her mother discovered that I enjoyed polishing silver. Because, while there was a bit of labor and dirty hands involved, the result was worth it. Mrs. Warwick had an amazing collection of silver pieces, and we would polish all of it for the holiday season ahead – Thanksgiving through New Year through Easter. You see, if the polish job is done well, the silver pieces stay pretty shiny for 6-8 months allowing them to look their best and make the event more special.
