Baby Boys Clothes: Different Styles And Trends
Babies are very sensitive and clothing for them needs to be chosen very carefully. Your baby boy may be sensitive to a certain fabric, hence you need to choose clothes for your baby boy keeping this in mind. However, when you make your kid boy wear nice clothes he will look even cuter. There are so many different choices in baby boys clothes that you may feel spoilt for choice.Boys are usually more active than girls even from their childhood days. They run the risk of ruining clothes more than the girls. Hence, it is imperative that you choose clothes that are durable and yet not harsh on their skin. There are several brands that specialise in manufacturing clothes just for kids. You could check out these brands for good quality baby boys clothes. Toddlers need more care and attention and you must take care to make them wear clothes that do not suffocate them.Today boys are also as fashion conscious as girls and this can be reflected in their attitude towards clothes. You will be surprised to find out how your baby boy will react if he does not like a certain pair of jeans that you want him to wear. There will be suggestions from him saying which tee he would like to wear on a particular day. This may be treated as a good sign since they can independently choose their clothes once they grow up. Movies and television heroes may have a great impact on the fashion sense of boys. Some feel inspired from cowboy movies while others draw inspiration from romantic heroes. The fact of the matter is that both boys and girls are extremely fashion conscious.A favourite with all parents when it comes to baby boys shoes are half denims and tees. These half pants are very comfortable during summers and allow easy airflow inside the pant. During winters you can wrap your baby boy in warm clothes, but during summers let the air circulate properly. Cottons are the most popular fabric during summers. Your son may be involved in some kind of physical activity. So, you do not want them to remain unhygienic due to excess sweat on the body due to uncomfortable fabric. Hence, cotton is the most favoured choice.As toddlers you can make your child wear free flowing clothes. This is probably not the time when you would distinguish between girls and boys as both of them require airy and very good quality cotton clothes. If you like to experiment with colours, then try out the different shades that may be available. Light colour kids clothes may look good on your kid if he has a fair skin tone. However, no matter what skin tone he has, you can make him wear anything provided your son can carry it off well.Check out online stores for baby boys clothes. There are several stores that display clothes for boys of all ages. Pick the right size for your boy and make him look wonderful.
San Diego California Real Estate Home Values About to Drop
The good news is that San Diego home prices have increased for the past eleven months in a row. A positive outlook would suggest that the real estate decline bottomed in April 2009 and that housing prices will continue with, at least, modest appreciation.Recently a local news headline noted San Diego home price appreciation outpaced the rest of the nation. Another headline stated that San Diego County house prices rose 11.7% in April 2010, as compared to April 2009. This was said to be the fastest rate of annual appreciation increase in the nation. Plus, San Diego County home prices have been rebounding for the past year after their 40% decline from the top of the market in 2005.In light of the above news, one would be hard-pressed not to agree with the consensus opinion that the bottom has been reached in the San Diego real estate market; the current recovery seems to be outpacing the national averages.In 2005, I wrote an article entitled “A trend to go national” where I predicted that the trends I saw occurring in our local housing market, which defined classic irrational exuberance, were not only about to take down the local market, but I believed, would affect the entire nation. I was not alone in raising the caution flags about the real estate market, and those who were caught up in the exuberance of the market as well as many media outlets, coined the term bubblehead to myself and others, to imply a certain foolishness to those who would speak out against such a powerful and (certain to be) continued annual double-digit home appreciation.It was difficult to raise the caution flags in 2005. The San Diego real estate market from 2000 to 2005 appreciated on average approximately 20% per year. Until the summer of 2005, when the sales volume started to fall but the prices were still appreciating, there weren’t obvious signs of pending trouble, especially to the layperson. Most did not foresee a market collapse. Even in the latter part of 2005, while the slowing market became quite evident, the conventional consensus of opinion was that it was just a normal pullback. Most optimistic outlooks touted a strong market and a great opportunity for many to purchase real estate in San Diego before the upswing resumed.Now it is July of 2010. Similar though different, market conditions make it again difficult to go against the conventional trend which is stating that a bottom has been put in place and we are on an upward rebound. I recently attended a seminar by a prominent real estate economist who forecast a slow but steady rise in local home values. His charts and facts presented at the seminar were quite impressive. Not being a real estate agent or broker “in the trenches,” I believe his data was not reflecting the most current conditions, especially after the expiration of the federal tax credits.It’s hard to say exactly what effect the $8000 federal tax credit for home buyers had on the real estate market. Personally I believe it to be very similar to the government’s cash for clunkers program, whereby, it pulled buyers from future months into the current program. The result was an increase in the actual housing demand and values for people trying to get in before the credit expired. When the cash for clunkers program ended, auto sales took a nose dive for a number of months before finally stabilizing.The federal $8000 credit ended on April 30, 2010. If you had a property in escrow on or before April 30, and closed it before the end of June (now extended through September) you would be eligible for the credit if you qualified. The housing figures now being reported reflect this activity created by the $8000 credit. As long as the property went into escrow by April 30, sales could close in May and June which still affects housing numbers. Housing sales reports are usually closed sales and unlike the stock market, it takes some time for a property to go through escrow.The first housing numbers to be reported, that don’t reflect as much of the effect of the government’s $8000 tax credit will be sales for July, reported during August. California instituted its own tax credit which went into effect on May 1, 2010. Only 100 million was allocated for this and the California franchise tax Board reported that as of June 15, 80% of this amount had been allocated.One could speculate that the current slowdown I’ve seen in San Diego neighborhoods would not be reflected in reports for closed sales until August. On July 1, the national Association of Realtors reported that sales of existing homes dropped 30% in May from April. For the Western states this drop was reported as 20.9%. Though the West obviously was doing better than the rest of the country, the huge double-digit declines are a major red flag that cannot be ignored.Don’t be fooled by the media talking heads’ effervescent housing recovery rhetoric. Keep in mind that many of their sponsors and advertisers are from real estate related industries. Plus, many of the same media talking heads were the same folks who stated there was no real estate bubble and any slowdown was an opportunity to jump into the market in the summer of 2005.As an active San Diego California real estate broker I could see a marked decline in real estate activity, in many local areas, right after the April 30 federal tax credit expiration. Homes listed for sale that just a few weeks earlier would’ve gotten multiple showings in one week, are now lucky to be shown once a week. Indications from local escrow companies and from a major San Diego mortgage company indicate that this slowing trend is significant and widespread throughout San Diego County.What’s really troubling, is that the government tax credit was not enough to jumpstart our local housing market. Plus, the fact that this new downturn has started in the seasonally adjusted hottest marketing timeframe, coupled with historically low home mortgage interest rates, would indicate that as we approach Fall and Winter, this trend could easily accelerate and in a real real estate market bottom in late 2011 or 2012.San Diego is the third most real estate dependent area in the country (with Orlando and Miami being the first and second respectively) the general San Diego economy should also experience a double-dip until the real housing market bottom is in place.
