CoreLogic: Home Prices Get a Boost

WASHINGTON — U.S. home prices rose at a faster year-over-year pace in October than in September, snapping a seven-month slowdown.

Real estate data provider CoreLogic (CLGX) said Tuesday that prices increased 6.1 percent in October compared with 12 months earlier. That was up from September's year-over-year increase of 5.6 percent.

Still, home values are rising more slowly than they were earlier this year, when 12-month gains were averaging nearly double their current pace.

Add Visual Interest through Texture and Patterns

Patterns and textures play a vital role in the overall design of a space. They add interest and help break up the monotony that would happen if everything was the same. In this space you'll notice a very monochromatic gray color scheme. It's through the use of textures and pattern that this space Is brought to life and made visually appealing.

You will notice the stripes of the chairs carried over onto the pillows on the sofa. Then there's the long shag rug under the seating group that has a texture that adds a cozy element to the space. All of these soft surfaces are then balanced out with elements like the monolithic steel coffee table that provides a structure to the space. Even though this room is all gray it is far from dreary. The patterns and textures make it interesting and inviting.

Testimonial

“We had our new home completely remodeled 2 years ago by Scott and his crew. My husband and I could not have been happier with the results-we LOVE our new home. The remodel was a challenge as so much needed to be done and we had a limited budget. Scott not only listened to the vision we had, he made it exactly what we had in mind. We worked so well together it seemed very simple. Everyone hears the night mares about doing a remodel-we did not experience any of it! Scott was always organized in setting up vendor appointments, on time, courteous and attentive to my husband and my sometimes varied ideas. His crew was excellent and did the remodel right on schedule with a minimum of intrusion on the surrounding neighborhood. Our house is now our home. We have highly recommended the Jaffa Group. Our only regret is that we don't seeing Scott on a regular basis now that it's done!”
