Body Rub History in Worcester, Massachusetts

The history of body rub and body rub therapy dates back to 2700 BCE. Body rub therapy was used in China as early as 2,700 BCE. Though, body rub and body rub therapy are likely to have roots further back than that.

The Egyptian tomb paintings from 2,500 BCE show that body rub therapy was used in medical treatment. Reflexology was also discovered by the Egyptian culture. This influence has been felt in other cultures such as the Romans, Greeks, and even the Greeks.

India is believed to have the oldest documented body rub therapy traditions. These traditions date back between 1,500 to 500 BCE. However, the practice could be as old as 3,000 BCE. Ayurvedic medicine was a practice that allowed for healing touch. It was first used by the Hindus. Ayurveda can be translated as life science, or life health. Ayurveda is a holistic form of medicine that uses aromatherapy, meditation, and relaxation techniques.

Monks began using body rub therapy in Japan around 1,000 BCE. Japanese monks were studying Buddhism at the time. They were familiar with traditional Chinese medicine's methods of healing, including body rub therapy. Many body rubs from China were brought to Japan to be adapted to Japanese culture. It was around this time that Shiatsu body rub was developed to increase energy levels.

Worcester Body Rubs were popularized in Japan not long after. In Greece, body rubs soon became popular. Between 800 and 700 BCE, it was a popular practice among athletes and philosophers. Many of these techniques grew from the Eastern body rub therapy.

Body rubs were a popular way for athletes in Greece to maintain their bodies and compete. Many doctors began to combine herbs and body rub techniques with athletes to provide them the many benefits they required. The benefits were obvious to women in Greece, who began using oils and body rubs as beauty treatments.

It took several centuries before body rubs became popular in Rome. It was used to treat many diseases and injuries. The majority of body rubs in Rome were based on Hippocrates' principles, which stipulated that exercise, healthy eating, and body rubs are essential for maintaining and restoring your body's health.

The wealthy Romans received treatment in their own homes, while the less fortunate were treated in public baths by trainers and doctors.

Between the 17th century and the 19th century, body rub therapy was popularized in Europe. Between the Roman Empire's years and the 1600s, body rubs were declining in popularity. Scientists and doctors recognized the benefits of body rub and began to use it again. The 19th century was the first to bring about improvements in body rub techniques.

Although body rub and body therapy have been around since the dawn of human history, they were not popularized in Western culture until the 1800s. With the Swedish Doctor Henril Lin, the Swedish Movement System was the place where it all began in West.

Ling created this system and it became the basis of the Swedish body rub we use today. Although Ling created the system, Johan George Mezger is actually responsible for the hand strokes that made up the Swedish body rub. This is the most popular type of body rub in the West.

Through the 20th century, body rub therapy has grown in popularity. Body rubs were used to treat nerve injuries and shell shock in World War I. It was not a common treatment and was only available to the wealthy for a few years. It was also a notorious part of the sex trade up until the second half 20th century.

The 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s saw a revival in body rubs in the United States. This became a popular option for people who wanted to heal their bodies without the use of drugs or other harmful treatments. Body rub therapy was often used by those looking for an alternative to traditional medicine.

Body rub therapy has become a mainstream practice, and Worcester bodyrubs have become pretty known. Many body rub providers offer a variety of techniques that draw on ancient methods. It is used all over the world to relieve, heal, relax, and provide a means of escape.

But don’t take my word for it. Read what my clients say about me here:

https://www.TahoeTruckeeRealEstate.com/Tilly-Mezger/.

Tilly Mezger- Realtor - at your service

My mission is to listen to what you want and work tirelessly so you can be happy and satisfied with our service and your real estate transaction.

Expect me to treat you with the highest level of respect and professionalism. When I commit to doing something, expect me to keep my word.

Expect me to be available when needed. I understand that the reason you turned to me is because you trust my judgment regarding the home-selling process. In turn, you have my time and full support when you need it. If you have any real estate concerns or questions, expect me to provide you with the right answers as soon as I can give them.

Expect me to make you my number one priority. I want my clients to be successful in their real estate endeavor, be it selling or buying.

Expect me to stay on top of the continuous changes in real estate marketing and technology.

How can I help sell your home?

With me as your Realtor, you can enjoy a stress-free real estate experience. What are some of the things I can help you with?

1. You have my professional guidance in determining the fair market value of your home.

Pricing can be tricky. Pricing your property high will let it stale in the market while pricing it too low means losing money. The trick is to find that sweet spot, and that's where my experience and skills come in.

Using Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) I'll find the recent sales and properties currently on the market in your neighborhood. Looking into recent sales will tell us how much the homes are sold for and what homebuyers are willing to pay for.

I'll also look into houses and properties that are closest to yours in size and style. By comparing the data with your current home for sale, I will then make some price adjustments to come up with a fair market value for your home.

2. Your home will be marketed extensively, both in print and online.

We live in the Internet era, and most marketing is done online. Home buyers check out the Internet when they want to look for homes for sale in an area.

If you want your property to sell fast, it should be marketed extensively online so your house for sale will be among the first ones the buyers will see when they look for homes for sale in Tahoe. The more online visibility, the higher the chance you have of selling your property.

I don't just do online marketing. Flyers, prints, and brochures with amazing photos capture the eyes of those who see them. With the help of my marketing team, we will place market your property on strategic places so buyers can see them more.

3. You can take advantage of my local real estate knowledge.

My knowledge of Lake Tahoe’s local market will help in pricing your property and in knowing how to market it right.

4. You can count on my professional advice regarding how to prepare your home to sell.

Rely on my years of selling and buying homes to know how to better prepare your home to sell quickly. I know what Lake Tahoe homebuyers want, what features they are looking for, what upgrades they expect and more. Using this knowledge, you can prepare your house so it becomes more attractive to home buyers.

5. You’ll gain access to a network of professionals.

One of the best advantages of working with me is you gain access to a network of services you’ll need when selling your home. From contractors to professional photographers to home stagers, I can give names of people who are experts in their fields who can help prepare your home for sale.

6. You can count on my years of experience and skill in negotiating to get the best price for your property.

Another advantage of having me as your Realtor is you don't have to deal with the emotional aspects of the transaction. I can act as the buffer during negotiation.

I know it can be difficult to hear negative comments about a home you've spent years in, but having me as your Realtor means being spared from the stress and headaches of dealing with low-balling homebuyers.

7. You don’t have to worry about dealing with home showings and unexpected calls.

All calls regarding your home will be directed to me, so you don’t have to deal with inquiries in the middle of the night.

You don’t even have to worry about and subject yourself to hundreds of home showings. With a pre-arranged schedule, you can get on your day while I take care of the home showings and any other questions the buyer may have.

8. Convenience in dealing with the mountain of paperwork.

Home selling involves a ton of paperwork that you need to review and sign. This makes it a legal playground, so you need to be careful before putting your name on anything.

As your agent, I will take care of all the necessary paperwork and ensure that you know what you are getting into when you sign something.

What questions should you ask your listing agent when selling your home?

Do you have any questions regarding the home selling process? Are there things you need to understand better? Don't hesitate to ask me any questions.

In real estate, there are no right or wrong questions. Here are a few questions that may come to mind:

How long have you been in real estate?

Your Lake Tahoe real estate property is an investment, and you want it to be handled by someone who has the right skills and experience, just as you would only entrust your car to a reputable repair shop.

I��ve been in the real estate business since 1998. I love helping people find their dream home. It’s been 20 years and I still love being in real estate.

How long have you been working as an agent in Lake Tahoe?

A great real estate agent has a clear understanding of Lake Tahoe’s real estate market. Each local market is different, and sometimes even areas in proximity of mere miles have drastic differences. Different elements factor in these differences like home values, real estate property tax rates, appreciation rates, etc.

I started working as a real estate agent specialist in Lake Tahoe in 1999 to the present day.

Do you work full time or part-time?

Full-time agents have more time to devote to and work for your listing while part-time agents only have limited hours. If you’re planning to sell your house fast, you want an agent who will work for you full-time so you can be on the dot with your time plan.

I am a full-time real estate agent and can, therefore, devote more time and energy into helping you get your home prepared and ready for the market. Working full time also means I get to give more hours to your listing’s marketing plan to make sure it will be successful.

How are you different from the other agents?

There are many real estate agents and Realtors in Lake Tahoe and Truckee CA areas. It can be difficult to know which agent to hire. Asking this question will let you know the specific skill or niche that the agent works in. Some agents deal only with luxury homes while others work in the single-home for sale that’s less than a million niche.

I know the Tahoe real estate market and have extensive knowledge of the luxury real estate market. I also provide exceptional service to my clients, have always believed in coupling integrity with hard work, and excellent at customer follow up.

How will you determine the listing price?

This is an important question to ask. You have to know exactly how the agent will determine the listing price of your home. As you may be very well aware, the listing price determines whether your home will sell quickly or not.

To determine your property’s listing price, I pull out the CMA and begin checking properties in your area that were sold in the past six months, as well as those that are currently in the market. I filter the sold data and look for houses similar in size, structure, style, and prize to yours.

I check them one by one, constantly adjusting the price depending on your homes features, amenities, and size.

What is your marketing strategy for my home?

I am the only agent in our area who fully utilizes a full-time marketing department who work around the clock to make sure your property is placed in front of the most qualified buyers on the Internet.

I have a 36 point marketing plan which covers Internet marketing extensively to your benefit. I pay for all the marketing upfront.

How will you help me get my property ready to list?

In most cases, sellers make the necessary repairs and renovations before they put their homes up for sale. Home preparations can range from a simple paint job and updating light fixtures to large renovations like installing new counters or redoing your bathroom.

Do you offer staging assistance?

Yes, absolutely! In most cases, many listing agents already have a team in place to assist in home staging. However, if you decide to have it done yourself, I can put you in contact with a staging company.

What are the costs of selling the property?

Costs can vary from neighborhood to neighborhood. To get an idea of the selling expenses, give me a call with the address of your property. I will run an estimated closing cost statement for you so you can plan and prepare..

Selling your home in Lake Tahoe doesn’t have to be a stressful and complicated experience. When you have my help, you can be assured that you real estate journey will be smooth and easy. Having the help of Lake Tahoe’s best real estate agent means you can sell your property successfully and for top dollar.

Call me, Tilly Mezger, at 530-545-0587 and let’s have a conversation about putting your home on the market today.

1 Real Estate Stock to Play the Housing Market, and 2 to Avoid

Housing stocks soared in 2021, benefiting from a competitive real estate market as consumers took advantage of ultralow interest rates. But the market is rapidly cooling as rising borrowing costs discourage prospective home buyers. Pending home sales were down 13% in June compared with the same period last year, while mortgage purchase applications fell by 24%, according to Redfin RDFN +0.77% . For potential buyers, a slower market could offer a glimmer of hope. It doesn’t bode as well for stocks that depend on robust housing demand, such as online brokers or home builders. Analysts are adjusting their calls on stocks in the sector as a result, picking out the potential winners and losers. On Monday, Credit Suisse downgraded KB Home (ticker: KBH ) to Neutral from Outperform. Analyst Dan Oppenheim lowered his target for the stock price to $35 from $42. New York Times Subscription and WSJ Digital 5-Years Combo, Save 77% Off “Our Neutral rating reflects our concern that KBH’s strategy remains too optimistic amid the tougher housing market and will result in greater cancellations, higher inventory, and results below consensus expectations,” he wrote. KB Home KBH +1.19% sells and builds new homes across the country. In mid-June, the company said it expected to achieve its revenue goals this year even though the housing market was moderating. In a press release, CEO Jeffrey Mezger said that the company’s business model of building homes after they have been ordered would help the company navigate those conditions. Oppenheim believes that rapid changes in mortgage rates between when an initial contract was signed and when a sale closes could scare off many first-time buyers, prompting them to renege on their offers and hurting KB Home’s profits. He foresees “choppy” conditions over the next several quarters. The company didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. KB Home was down 0.9% at $30.35, for a loss of 32% in 2022. Barron’s Digital News 5-Years Subscription $69 Wedbush analyst Jay McCanless is also predicting a rough few quarters for housing stocks. He downgraded Redfin ( RDFN ) on Monday, rating the stock Neutral, down from Outperform. He cut his price target to $9 from $14. Redfin was down 9% to $8.64 on Monday, for a loss of 77% so far this year. In his view, the online real estate broker will struggle to navigate the challenging environment. McCanless is especially concerned about Redfin’s new foray into mortgage services, which he called “a poorly timed decision in hindsight.” He believes the segment is likely to lose money for the remainder of the year as house sales slow down. He is also skeptical about the efficiency of Redfin’s operations. “Redfin consistently lost money during one of the best sales/demand/pricing environments we have ever seen for housing during 2021,” he wrote. Redfin didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. The stock was down more than 9% at $8.62 on Monday, bringing its loss so far this year to 78%. Competitor Zillow Group ( Z ) may be a safer way to bid on real estate amid a volatile market, McCanless wrote. He upgraded the stock to Outperform from Neutral on Monday, and raised his target for the price to $41 from $37. Wall Street Journal Newspaper | WSJ Newspaper | WSJ Print Save 30% Off The company has a strong cash balance sheet after closing out its home-flipping division, McCanless wrote. It could funnel those funds toward initiatives that could help it gain market share in the long run, such as developing its “housing super-app,” he said. McCanless also anticipates that Zillow will consistently repurchase shares over the next six quarters. The stock was down 4% to $33.67 on Monday. Analyst sentiment has cooled on Zillow, with 35% rating it a Buy, 52% rating it a Hold, and 13% rating it a Sell. But that is still better than Redfin’s ratings. Only 6% of analysts rated it a Buy, while 83% rated it a Hold. Sentiment is more upbeat on KB Home: 71% of analysts rate the stock at Buy, according to FactSet, while 24% have it at Hold. Only 6% consider it a Sell. Read the full article

New homes cost $36,000 more because of an epic shortage of lumber

New Post has been published on https://appradab.com/new-homes-cost-36000-more-because-of-an-epic-shortage-of-lumber/

New homes cost $36,000 more because of an epic shortage of lumber

Random-length lumber futures hit a record high of $1,615 on Tuesday, a staggering sevenfold gain from the low in early April 2020. That’s a big deal because lumber is the most substantial supply that home builders buy.

“I’ve never seen anything quite like this,” said Brant Chesson, the president and CEO of Homes By Dickerson, a Raleigh, North Carolina-based home builder.

“It’s absolutely contributing to a shortage of housing,” he said.

‘This can only last for so long’

And because the housing market is on fire, the lumber shortage is costing many prospective home buyers even more money.

Surging lumber prices alone have pushed the price of an average new single-family home $35,872 higher, according to an analysis by the National Association of Home Builders.

“While lumber prices have gone up, we have been able to pass it on to the consumer with higher prices for homes,” Jeffrey Mezger, the CEO of KB Home (KBH), told Appradab Business. “And there is still far more demand than there is supply.”

But builders can’t jack up prices forever.

“This can only last for so long before affordability becomes pinched and demand pauses,” John Lovallo, lead home builders analyst at Bank of America, said in an email.

The median sale price of existing homes surged by a record 17.2% in March to $329,100 — the highest since the National Association of Realtors began tracking prices in 1999.

Lumber is so hot, it’s being stolen

Independent builders, which lack the scale advantages of large construction companies like KB Home, are already feeling the pain.

Tom McCarthy can’t finish building a home in Bergen County, New Jersey because of the lumber shortage.

“There are pieces of wood that we can’t find,” said McCarthy, a real estate broker with the Chen Agency who also builds homes with his father on the side.

McCarthy estimates the cost of lumber for the home will hit $70,000, nearly double the cost of building the exact same home in a nearby town just eight months ago.

Some renters are also paying the price. The NAHB estimates that the lumber price spike has added nearly $12,000 to the market value of an average newly built multifamily home — translating to households paying an extra $119 per month to rent a new apartment.

The shortage — and price boom — is so extreme that builders report having lumber and other raw materials stolen from their construction sites.

“Theft has been huge in our market. We have tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars stolen during the year,” said Chesson, the North Carolina builder.

Saw mills can’t keep up with demand

Today’s shortage has roots in the previous housing boom. New home construction crashed after the housing bubble popped in the mid-2000s. That made sense because the market was badly oversupplied. But the downturn also drove countless sawmills out of business, leaving the industry unprepared for today’s surge in demand.

And then Covid happened. Sawmills eased output last spring in anticipation of another bust and as they grappled with heath restrictions.

“There was a great fear among sawmills to prepare for a downturn. When home buying surged, they could not open up capacity quickly enough,” said Lawrence Yun, chief economist of the National Association of Realtors.

At the same time, demand for lumber is also being driven by a surge of renovations and expansions of existing homes.

But contractors are having trouble finding and paying for lumber, creating another headache for consumers.

“It’s a cost that our members can no longer shoulder the burden on,” said David Pekel, CEO of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry. “They have to pass the cost on to the homeowner.”

Industry calls on Biden to act

The lumber shortage is just the latest example of how the rapid economic recovery from the pandemic is pushing supply chains to the limit. Manufacturers are desperate for workers. Smartphone, auto and appliance production is being sidelined by a shortage of computer chips. And the lack of tanker truck drivers has raised the specter of gas stations running on empty this summer.

In the case of lumber, the shortage is being amplified by tariffs.

In one of the first shots fired during the Trump trade wars, the previous administration hit Canada in April 2017 with tariffs of up to 24% on lumber. Late last year, the Trump administration slashed those tariffs to 9%.

The home building industry is now urging President Joe Biden to take further action. In a statement to Appradab Business, NAHB Chairman Chuck Fowke called on the Biden administration to “temporarily remove” the 9% tariff on Canadian lumber “to help ease price volatility.”

Fowke also urged the White House to “bring together interested stakeholders to hold a summit on lumber and building material supply chain issues to identify the causes and solutions for high prices and supply constraints.”

The White House did not respond to a request for comment.

‘Sharp fall’ in lumber prices ahead?

The good news is that industry executives expect lumber production to catch up with demand — eventually.

Samuel Burman, an assistant commodities economist, predicted in a recent note to clients that there will be a “sharp fall” in lumber prices over the next 18 months.

“The mills are coming back online. I think we’re past the worst of it in terms of supply availability,” said Mezger, the KB Home CEO.

Let’s hope so, because the market desperately needs more supply.

“We have a housing shortage in America. The way to relieve that shortage is to build more homes,” said NAR’s Yun. “The housing market has created haves and have-nots. Home builders are smiling big, but first-time buyers are very demoralized.”

It is entirely expected to feel confounded whether to sell your home by means of sale or rundown cost. The truth of the matter is, this point has been exceptionally bantered in the land business.

Benefit Auction Specialist

To assist you with choosing which strategy to pick, I have recorded here certain upsides and downsides for you to assess.

Selling at Auction

Focal points

1. It makes a desire to move quickly to purchasers. A sale has an end date for the clearance of your home and this gives your purchasers a desire to move quickly to settle on a choice on that day.

2. It advances rivalry among purchasers. At a bartering, a few purchasers will contend or attempt to out-offer different purchasers. Regularly, a purchaser's inspiration to win the offer enables you to procure a deal cost more prominent than the genuine estimation of your property.

3. At a bartering, you pre-decide the deal terms rather than the purchaser. You can set explicit terms that will suit your needs as a seller.

4. Gives dealer security as 'hold cost'. You set with your specialist the base value you need to sell your property for (save cost). Your property won't be sold except if the offering arrive at the concurred hold cost. This implies, your home gets no opportunity of selling lower than your normal cost at this point has a colossal possibility of selling higher and substantially more particularly that there is no maximum price tag.

Hindrances

1. Beside paying the master barker, you may need to spend for extra costs engaged with a sale. In the event that you have a specialist, at that point request that your operator look at the expense of a sale and private deal.

2. Not all properties are alluring available to be purchased. For instance, if your house is indistinguishable or has practically comparative highlights to different properties available to be purchased then numerous purchasers would pick these different homes for an opportunity to abstain from spending a lot on an offer. If so, you have better possibility getting a higher deal cost through private deal. Wisconsin auction

3. Sales give a confinement to the quantity of potential purchasers for your home. As offers can be unqualified, intrigued purchasers with a fixed spending plan are debilitated from taking a risk in purchasing your home.

Selling At List Price

Favorable circumstances

1. Selling at List Price is appealing to purchasers since many think of it as less scary and confused. Numerous purchasers don't wish to be forced in settling on one of the most significant choices throughout their life. Hence, purchasers lean toward private deal as they are given sufficient opportunity to consider their choice. You as a merchant can profit by drawing in numerous potential purchasers just as having sufficient opportunity to think about offers.

2. Private selling your home will give you no direness to sell. You are allowed to acknowledge and experience distinctive deal terms, as stretched out settlement time and deal to fund of the purchaser's home.

3. Private selling is regularly less expensive than a sale. As a rule, the breadth of the arranging and showcasing of a closeout occasion can be exorbitant. To realize which best suit you in this issue, you can request that your operator compute and look at the expense among sale and posting your home available to be purchased.

4. The strategy for selling at list cost elevates security to you as a dealer. This strategy ordinarily includes private dealings which can be beneficial for you on the off chance that you want to keep the subtleties of the deal among you and the purchaser. Wisconsin Fundraiser

Burdens

1. Because of the chilling time frame remembered for private deals, purchasers could alter their perspective much after agreements have been agreed upon.

2. As there is no set date in a private deal, it can take more time to close than a bartering. There is no need to keep moving or no cutoff time for forthcoming purchasers which for the most part result to low inspiration of purchasers to purchase the home rapidly.

3. A critical constraint of selling at list cost is that the deal cost of your home can be arranged lesser contrasted and closeouts where offers regularly goes higher than the genuine cost. In private deal or rundown value, your home has a low possibility of selling at a value higher than the genuine market cost.

The rundown above can assist you with choosing which strategy is best for you when selling your home. For me, no strategy is better over the other. At last, it will rely upon the dealer's needs and home available to be purchased.
