Cities in Tennessee, Florida and Texas Top Ten-X’s List of Summer’s “Hottest” Single-Family Markets

Nashville, Tenn., Orlando, Fla., Fort Worth, Tex., Dallas, and San Antonio, Tex., Dominate the Top Five Slots Due to Strong Demand, Home Price Appreciation, and Economic Growth

IRVINE AND SILICON VALLEY, Calif., July 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Ten-X, the nation’s leading online real estate marketplace, today released its Top Single-Family Housing Markets Report for Summer 2017, which ranks the nation’s 50 largest housing markets according to current and forecasted housing fundamentals. Among the 50 largest US markets, the top five (in order) are Nashville, Tenn., Orlando, Fla., Fort Worth, Tex., Dallas, and San Antonio, Tex. These regions earned their spots by displaying consistently strong demand, home price appreciation, favorable affordability, and economic and demographic growth. ­ This quarter’s list features four newcomers. Nashville jumped from sixth to first this quarter, pushing out Tampa, which tumbled off the list to eighth. Orlando regained a spot in the top five, jumping from eighth to second. The remaining three spots on the list went to Texas metros. Fort Worth leapt from twelfth to third, Dallas dropped two spots this quarter to fourth, and San Antonio climbed six spots from last quarter. “This quarter’s housing report continues to show that the housing market recovery varies greatly by region,” said Ten-X Executive Vice President Rick Sharga. “Markets in the South and Southeast with strong job and population growth – notably Texas and Florida – continue to have a much stronger outlook than much of the Midwest and Northeast. Markets in California and the Pacific Northwest appear to be cooling down a bit as home prices have risen to levels unaffordable for many prospective buyers.” Nashville endured a modest downturn in existing-home prices after the 2008 housing crash, but since then, prices in the metro have surged well beyond their prior peak. Orlando’s ranking reflects the continued opportunity for continued growth amid the protracted recovery seen across many Florida metros. Meanwhile, Texas emerged as a prominent force this quarter. Despite cooling somewhat with the onset of lower oil prices, the Dallas, Fort Worth and San Antonio markets have been resilient, with prices surging well beyond previous highs. Top Five Markets at a Glance Market Home Price Growth, Year over Year Home Sales Growth, Year over Year Nashville, TN 11.9% 7.4% Orlando, FL 9.9% 5.7% Fort Worth, TX 11.7% 3.4% Dallas, TX 9.2% 3.6% San Antonio, TX 8.6% 3.5% Top Market Highlights Nashville Nashville’s single-family market surged to the top of our rankings with its impressive performance and optimistic outlook. Home sales growth continues to outpace the national average, making considerable strides with a 7.4% year-over-year gain this quarter. Prices are growing unabated, improving in 20 consecutive quarters and rising nearly 12% over the past year. Housing affordability remains very favorable even as prices have surged almost 40% beyond their prior peak, suggesting that prices can continue to climb without unduly pressuring buyers. The downside risk is modest; prices only fell moderately during the housing bust. Nashville’s economic forecast is strong: employment is up, and the population is growing at nearly triple the U.S, rate, all factors that should continue to drive the metro’s housing market in the coming years. Orlando Orlando’s housing market continues to impress as one of the nation’s top performers amid its lengthy recovery. Annual sales growth has now outpaced the U.S. rate for 10 straight quarters, with sales most recently up 5.7% year-over-year and within 12% of their bubble peak. Home prices have risen more than 60% over the past five years, continuing their impressive ascent this quarter with a 10% year-over-year gain. Even so, prices still hover 15% below their prior peak and offer great affordability, suggesting that there is additional room to grow. Orlando boasts phenomenal population growth and a strong economic forecast, both indicators of healthy demand that should continue to drive the metro’s single-family-home market. Fort Worth The Fort Worth housing market is taking off, as price growth continues to accelerate, reaching a cyclical high of 11.7% year-over-year this quarter. After 23 consecutive quarterly gains, prices are at an all-time high of some 43% above their pre-recession peak. Yet homes are still incredibly affordable in the metro and should allow for additional price gains. Sales are also at a cyclical high after a 3.4% yearly gain, advancing closer to their previous peak. The oil slump had little effect on Fort Worth’s housing market, and prices declined only minimally during the housing bust, highlighting the metro’s limited downside risk. Thanks to strong demographic trends and a solid economic forecast, the outlook for Fort Worth’s single-family-home market is promising. Dallas The Dallas housing market continues to be one of the nation’s top performers. Home sales are creeping closer towards their pre-recession peak, reaching a cyclical high in the first quarter some 3.6% above their level a year ago. Prices continue their impressive surge, rising 9.2% year-over-year to $225,000 this quarter, also marking the metro’s 21st consecutive quarterly gain. Prices are now more than 50% above their prior peak, though homes remain very affordable and should appreciate even further. Considering the minimal price decline during the housing bust, the metro displays modest downside risk. Dallas has long benefited from outstanding population growth and holds one of our top economic forecasts, which should continue to drive ample housing demand in the coming years. San Antonio San Antonio’s housing market is heating up and shows promising signs for future growth. Existing-home sales choppily advanced to a cyclical high in the first quarter, a 3.5% year-over-year gain. Median prices topped $170,000 this quarter, 8.6% higher than a year ago. Even though prices are now more than 30% above their pre-recession peak, San Antonio homes remain among the most affordable in the nation, presenting ample opportunity for additional price growth. Demand should remain strong in the coming years thanks to outstanding demographic trends and a solid economic forecast. The metro experienced very modest price declines during the housing bust and has historically displayed low employment volatility, suggesting less potential downside risk. These factors all portend a bright outlook for San Antonio’s single-family-home market. “The U.S. economy continues to expand in the face of policy, monetary and international uncertainty,” said Ten-X Chief Economist Peter Muoio. “Despite some recent deceleration, the labor market is growing at a solid clip, unemployment remains low, and wage growth is stronger. As the U.S. housing market continues to progress, these top five metros share some of the key underpinnings for growth: superior demographic trends, bright economic outlooks, and affordable housing that should enable healthy demand and generous price growth in the coming years.” Market Rankings and Methodology Sales and pricing activity on the Ten-X platform provides real-time insight into buyer demand and price appetite, particularly among real estate investors. Combining past and current housing trends with its economic growth forecasts, Ten-X has ranked the largest 50 metros for performance potential. The rankings consider pricing, sales, affordability, permit activity, economic and demographic growth. Since the rankings are forward looking, Ten-X also considers economic forecasts, population trends, and future growth prospects weighed against potential volatility.

Phoenix to Make Sand Available for Severe Storms

Theo nguồn tin trên trang của phoenix.gov

Sizzling Summer @ Cielito Pool

July 13, 2017 ​ With the first hints of monsoon storms finally making their debut, city of Phoenix has refined the sand distribution system for severe weather. This storm season, Phoenix will activate select Phoenix park locations as self-service sand distribution sites. Roll-off bins will be dispatched to these locations in advance of large, predictable storm systems that threaten the city with the potential for extreme flooding. The new park locations allow more parking and accessibly to the sand. Citizens are still required to bring their own bags and shovels, as well as fill the bags themselves. Sand will no longer be made available at fire stations as done in previous years. “Through new technologies and educating residents about sustainable flood prevention methods, the need for sand distribution has become limited to large scale events,” explains Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management Director, Lisa Jones. “We encourage residents to explore innovative, long-term flooding solutions like landscaping changes and new products like reusable flood barriers that can be found at local hardware stores.” For more information on sustainable flood prevention and reusable flood barriers, visit the city’s monsoon webpage at phoenix.gov/update. As park locations are activated they will be messaged through several sources including the city’s monsoon webpage and the social media accounts @cityofphoenixaz and #PHXStorm.

Lịch thi đấu bóng đá CONCACAF Gold Cup 2017: Tứ Kết Ngày 20 Tháng 7 Năm 2017 trong Thành phố Phoenix, AZ tại Sân vận động Đại học Phoenix

Theo nguồn tin Allstate trên trang mạng của prnewswire.com.

Allstate Named Official Protector of the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup™ Trophy English Allstate will provide fans access to Gold Cup Trophy, and leave a lasting legacy through soccer field refurbishments across the country as part of its sponsorship of the CONCACAF Gold Cup™

NORTHBROOK, Ill., June 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Allstate announced today that it will once again serve as the Official Protector of the CONCACAF Gold Cup™ Trophy as it makes its way throughout the U.S. this summer. Allstate will kick off its Gold Cup Trophy tour ahead of the official start of the competition at the FMF vs. Paraguay match in Seattle on July 1, which is presented by Allstate. From there, Allstate will tour the trophy through seven Gold Cup host cities offering fans exclusive and unprecedented access to the coveted Gold Cup, and encouraging them to embrace their passion for the sport to the fullest. Allstate has enlisted the help of three experts who know a lot about protection, legendary goalkeepers Adolfo Ríos, Tony Meola and Brad Friedel, to help ensure the Gold Cup will be safe on its journey. Along the way, fans will have the opportunity for one-on-one experiences with these legendary goalkeepers as they travel to select cities throughout the premier tournament of 2017. “Allstate has been a loyal supporter of the soccer community for more than a decade, always with the goal of protecting fans and the sport they love,” said Pam Hollander, vice president of marketing for Allstate. “We are very excited to once again hold the title as the Official Protector of the CONCACAF Gold Cup, and invite fans to join us in our mission to protect the Cup on its journey to the finals.” Ahead of select FMF, Gold Cup and MLS matches in 2017, Allstate, alongside its agents, will refurbish community soccer fields. Inner-city soccer fields are a safe haven that provide passionate soccer fans the opportunity to enjoy the sport they love, but are often outdated, neglected or without usable resources. Allstate will work closely with Ríos, Meola and Friedel, and local Allstate agency owners to complete various field refurbishments, including donating new equipment, upgrading bleachers and performing field maintenance. After the work is complete, Allstate will host a special clinic alongside the soccer legends for local youth goalkeepers on the newly outfitted fields. “For me, there is nothing more inspiring than young goalkeepers who have a passion for the game,” said Brad Friedel. “Working with Allstate provides me the opportunity to foster the love these kids have for the sport so that their passion can continue to grow.” As part of the trophy tour, the Gold Cup will visit the following cities: June 30 – July 1 – Seattle, WA and CenturyLink Field (July 1) – FMF vs. Paraguay July 6 – July 8 – Nashville, TN and Nissan Stadium (July 8) July 11 – July 12 – Tampa Bay, FL and Raymond James Stadium (July 12) July 14 – July 16 – San Antonio, TX and Alamodome (July 16) July 18 – July 20 – Phoenix, AZ and University of Phoenix Stadium (July 20) July 21 – July 22 – Dallas, TX and AT&T Stadium (July 22) July 22 – July 23 – Los Angeles, CA and Rose Bowl Stadium (July 23) July 24 – July 26 – Bay Area, CA and Levi’s Stadium (July 26) In each city, fans will have the opportunity to meet Ríos, Meola or Friedel and interact with the Gold Cup Trophy at the Allstate Protection Zone – a fun and interactive experience open to fans ahead of each match. Fans can follow along by searching and using #PROTECTTHECUP and #PROTEGELACOPA on their social media channels. Fans should also be on the lookout to catch a glimpse of the Gold Cup Trophy in an Allstate-branded ‘Protection Cup Mobile’ as it rides from and through each city on the trophy tour. Earlier this month Allstate announced a multi-year partnership agreement to become the Official Insurance Sponsor of CONCACAF, in addition to being named Official Protector of the CONCACAF Gold Cup, the region’s national team competition. The agreement, negotiated by Soccer United Marketing (SUM), also includes a four-year renewal as the Official Home, Auto, Life and Retirement Insurance Partner of Major League Soccer (MLS) and the Federación Mexicana de Fútbol (FMF), via the annual Mexican National Team U.S. Tour. To support its sponsorships of FMF and CONCACAF Gold Cup, Allstate is launching a new advertising campaign showcasing how Allstate protects soccer fans from their moments of over-passion while highlighting the rewards and benefits that only Allstate can provide. Ads will begin airing on July 1st across national TV, social and digital media. The 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup will be played from July 7-26, involving 12 teams from the region. Qualifying countries for this year’s tournament are (in alphabetical order): Canada, Costa Rica, Curacao, El Salvador, French Guiana, Honduras, Jamaica, Martinique, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama and the United States. The biennial CONCACAF Gold Cup has established itself as the region’s premier tournament for national teams, routinely drawing capacity crowds and millions of viewers across the region. This year will mark the 14th edition of the tournament following its inception in 1991. About Allstate The Allstate Corporation (NYSE: ALL) is the nation’s largest publicly held personal lines insurer, protecting approximately 16 million households from life’s uncertainties through auto, home, life and other insurance offered through its Allstate, Esurance, Encompass and Answer Financial brand names.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona Reports Nearly 1 out of 6 Members Fill an Opioid Prescription Annually in Arizona

Theo nguồn tin Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona trên trang mạng của prnewswire.com.

PHOENIX, June 29, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona (BCBSAZ) reports that nearly one out of six (14.3 percent) of its commercially insured members in Arizona filled at least one opioid prescription in 2015. “While opioids may be an appropriate treatment in limited cases, great care should be taken to ensure proper dosage is followed,” said BCBSAZ Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Vishu Jhaveri. “Opioid use is a complex issue that requires collaboration not only among medical professionals, insurers and employers, but the community at-large, families, friends and care givers.” BCBSAZ’s medical data finds that: Middle age and senior populations have higher rates of opioid usage. Males younger than 45 have higher rates of opioid use disorder than females. Females fill more opioid prescriptions than males across all age groups. Opioid use is consistent throughout all Arizona counties. Hydrocodone/acetaminophen, which is prescribed to relieve moderate and severe pain, is the most commonly filled opioid prescription. Fentora, a drug that contains an opioid to manage pain in adults with cancer, is the most expensive opioid at $22,000 per prescription. With abuse and misuse on the rise across the country, the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association released a national report this week called, “America’s Opioid Epidemic and Its Effect on the Nation’s Commercially Insured Population.” The study looks at national medical claims from Blue Cross and Blue Shield (BCBS) members using opioid painkillers, as well as those diagnosed with opioid use disorder over a seven-year period.* This is the thirteenth study of the Blue Cross Blue Shield: The Health of America Report® series. The BCBS Association study reveals that: Nationally, opioid use disorder diagnoses among BCBS commercially insured members spiked 493 percent from 2010 through 2016. Long-duration prescription opioid use and opioid use disorder overlap by region, with the highest rates in the South and the Appalachian Region. States that have experienced the greatest growth in the use of medication-assisted treatments are not necessarily the areas most impacted by opioid use disorders. High rates of treatment relative to opioid use disorder occur in New England, and lower rates occur in the South and parts of the Midwest. Jhaveri continued, “At BCBSAZ we are using these studies to help us refine our patient safety programs and target our provider education. For example, we are notifying primary care physicians with patients who are potentially taking opioids and other prescription drugs that are dangerous or life-threatening when taken together. By drawing attention to a patient’s situation, along with supporting medical literature, the provider can determine if an alternative course of treatment is necessary.” For educational resources about opioids, visit azblue.com/newscenter. *Members diagnosed with cancer or who were undergoing palliative or hospice care were excluded from this analysis.

Plus, 9 out of 10 said the next three months are a great time to get away (89%), and that they already know where their next trip will take them. The vast majority (95%) agree that traveling is a great way to relax, rewind, and bond with friends and family.

Not only that, but these savvy travelers know there’s great deals to be had if you know where to look (84%) and that technology makes it super easy to book travel (87%).

San Diego Tips and tricks from Hotwire on how consumers can get the most value for their travel dollars Hot tips on Car Rent or fly Hot Rate®! Hot Rate car has great deals from major car rental agencies that are all located in the main airport rental car center, for up to 50% off! Look for cars tagged with the Hot Rate symbol when searching on Hotwire for best savings. If your destination is off the beaten path, consider going to the closest airport – often rental fleets are much larger at the airport so better deals can be found – and be sure to tell the agent if you’re a local to save on airport fees. It may seem obvious, but if you are going to do a lot of driving you can get great deals on larger, premium cars. It’s worth booking on Hotwire, or even asking at the counter of the rental car agency. Renting a car for a weekend trip instead of taking a taxi or ride-sharing service from the airport can be a more cost-effective means of exploring the destination. Hot tips on Hotel Book last-minute. Although it’s common practice to book in advance, you can often find the best rates one week before your travel dates. Even in abnormally busy markets like Boston, travelers can still find deals by searching alternate dates. Go Saturday to Monday instead of Friday to Sunday. Sundays are typically the least expensive day of the week for hotel rooms. Include a Sunday as part of your stay and save on lodging costs. Hot tips on Air Many airlines launch sales on Monday afternoons – we recommend booking air on Tuesday afternoons when competing airlines respond by lowering their prices. Buy your plane ticket first – this unlocks super car and hotel deals. Did you know that most flights get cancelled due to weather as aircraft can’t come in? So you are much less likely to have your flight cancelled if you travel early in the morning. For your summer travel, instead of traveling the night before, wait and leave early next morning. A weekend is a great time to visit or stay in some of the nation’s great business cities such as Houston, Dallas, Oklahoma City, Atlanta, Seattle and Los Angeles – often the savings from flying Sunday over Friday will pay for your hotel and car. Check alternative airports if you’re flying into a busy metropolitan area. For example, fly into LaGuardia or Newark if you’re going to New York City, and try Burbank or Long Beach if you’re traveling to Los Angeles. Be flexible and focus on the type of vacation you want (beach, city, etc.), then search a variety of locales based on the type to find the best deals. More insights about U.S. travel this season Here are some additional trends that will impact travel this summer: Vacationers are heading to the beach. According to a survey done by AAA, 42% of Americans are planning to take a vacation in 2017, with most planning trips to the warm weather destinations in the U.S. and abroad. Approximately 30% of U.S. adults say they are more likely to take a vacation this year compared to 2016, and they’re looking for a new kind of travel experience. Of the poplar beach destinations, AAA has seen the most notable increases in travel bookings to Melbourne, Sydney, Toronto, Vancouver and Cancun. There has never been a more accessible time to travel (according to the Huffington Post) with airlines adding over 10,000 new routes with 37,000 city pairs in addition to the now 1,280 international airports serving 48,977 routes worldwide. According to findings from the American Academy of Pediatrics, American children are spending an average of seven hours per day on electronic devices. To get kids outside, parents are opting for more meaningful or nature-based vacation. Why not take a break from technology and book a trip to a national park or a tropical beach?
