There's a well-known economic theory – the law of supply and demand – that explains what's happening with prices in the current real estate market. Put simply, when demand for an item is high, prices rise. When the supply of the item increases, prices fall. Of course, when demand is very high and supply is very low, prices can rise significantly.

Understanding the impact both supply and demand have can provide the answers to a few popular questions about today's housing market:

5 Sounds Your HVAC System Should Never Make

You probably recognize the typical low, blowing sounds your HVAC system makes. However, sometimes, it can make irregular sounds. When it makes a sound you haven't heard before or that doesn't seem quite right, you may choose to ignore it, perhaps thinking it will eventually go away. But this could be a big mistake. There are at least five kinds of sounds your heating and air conditioning system could make that indicate serious problems that you must not ignore:

Rattling

The most common reason for rattling is a loose nut, bolt or piece of wiring. It could also mean a buildup of twigs, leaves, or other debris in the outside unit. However, it could be a more serious problem. For example, the motor bearings might be going out. If you can't find the problem yourself after a quick examination, it's time to call for professional diagnosis and service.
