Throughout the country, U.S. mortgage debt has dropped to it’s lowest point in five years, according to the Seattle Times. The monetary volume of outstanding home mortgages declined from $9.94 trillion to $9.88 trillion as of June 30th. It’s likely the numbers have continued to drop.

The part of this that is unsettling to us here at the Kansas City movers is that the numbers will likely drop for the next few years before hitting a period of recovery. Over the last five years, households have mostly cut extravagant spending on items such as cars, televisions, and renovations.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has released statistics stating that the sales of local foods amounted to about $4.8 million dollars just a few years ago. Early predictions are showing that this year will amount to about $7 billion in sales.

Locally grown food has long been encouraged by economies over mass market retailers. The idea is that you’ll keep the local economy in the local area. While local grown food doesn’t necessarily mean that it is organic, but it is a great way to meet who grows your food and to learn first hand what it’s been through. The Kansas City movers want to encourage area shoppers to visit local farmer’s markets and get acquainted with your local economy & neighbors!

The May 22 tornado that hit Joplin, Missouri did extensive damage to local homes. As of yesterday, however, seven families whose homes were destroyed were given new homes by ABC’s popular do-gooder series, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

The Kansas City movers want to encourage local residents to get involved with volunteer organizations in the area–whether it’s home rebuilding or animal care services, everyone has something to offer the community.

Excess water this summer has certainly taken a toll on the wetlands along the Missouri River. Flooding was common and long-lasting…almost two months of flooding have depleted crops and soils, and several areas of Missouri were left with zapped resources.

As we are now in the harsh winter phase, what was killed from the flood has frigid temperatures to attempt a comeback. Hunting seasons and other recreational activities seem to be on the plummet for the fall and winter months.

Here at the Kansas City movers, our main concern is the safety and well being of our Missouri family. However, resources are a vital part of the local economy and well-being, so it’s quite significant that these remain intact. Donate to flood recovery funds by visiting MO.gov, the official website of the State of Missouri.

So far, 41 inches of snow have been received in 2010-2011 in northeast Missouri–up from the average 24 inches.

The cost of moving a piano can really add up considering all that is involved with the process. Sure, your local Kansas City piano movers here make it easy to transfer the hefty instrument from point A to point B, but there is often more it than just moving the piano. For passionate pianists, playing an in-tune piano is an absolute must. Even the most careful piano moving professionals cannot avoid detuning your instrument even with the specially designed padded dolly which your movers here use for each piano relocation. Vibrations from each step of the move cause this very sensitive instrument to go out of tune. If you have ever tried moving your piano without the assistance of professionals, you know first hand how out-of-whack your piano’s tuning can become after relocation. Hiring a piano tuner is necessary to get your ivories singing in key again, and often purchasing insurance for pianos prior to moving is also a common step for aficionados. Moving a piano can certainly become a pain in the neck quickly.

Your movers here make piano moving as convenient as possible though by providing free padding, two layers of which we apply to your piano followed by a reinforcing layer of shrink wrap. Your piano is then gently placed on a padded dolly like the one mentioned above and carefully transported to our moving truck where it is thoroughly strapped into place to ensure a safe and secure ride. Your Kansas City movers here know that delicate handling of your piano is what it needs. You can relax knowing your piano is safe and knowing that your movers aim to keep detunings to a minimum! Return the favor and play us a song, you’re the piano man! (or woman!)

Did you know that you could be saving money on your existing home-related bills? Here at the Kansas City movers, we want to see you get the most out of your money. With that in mind, here are a few suggestions to try and put money back in your pocket!

Refinance your mortgage. Mortgage rates continue to drop as the days, weeks and months go by. Why not take advantage of historically low APR and get a new quote that will lower your monthly payments and effectively pay off your mortgage at the same time.

Relocate to a less expensive market. Mortgage rates and home prices are fluctuating all over the country, and if there’s nothing keeping you where you are (school zones, work, etc.) then why not explore the advantages of another area? Also, looking in a neighboring subdivision can also result in savings. Sometimes homes are just as new and well-kept, but because of townships and subdivision rules they are offered at lower or higher rates than nearby places.
