5 Questions Before #InstallingABarn

Ah, the barn door. It seems nothing has captured homeowners’ imaginations as much as a rolling door system since French doors came onto the scene. Made of nearly any material you can think of, barn doors can add character and style to any space. Whether you go rustic with wrought iron or streamlined with steel, the hardware options are also seemingly endless.

But before you go picking out the pieces, there are a number of things you should think about — from privacy concerns to the load-bearing capability of the door frame you’re covering. Here are five questions to ask before installing a barn door: Find out whether that barn door you love is the right solution for your space...

Jobs Impact #ExistingHomeSales

 

• National Association of REALTORS® estimates that one job is generated or supported for every two home sales.
• This estimate is based on a comparison of the economic impact of an existing home sale to various measures of income.
• In 2013, the economic impact of a single home sale was estimated to be more than $68,000. In the same year, GDP per worker was $123,400. Thus, two home sales would generate more in economic impact than the total GDP per 1 worker.
• Comparisons against other types of income measures would show an even higher home sales impact on jobs.
