Beat the Heat Energy-Efficient Tips | Home Tips

When July hits, the heat often comes in full force. Keeping our homes cool and comfortable becomes a priority. But cranking up the air conditioning can lead to skyrocketing energy bills. So, what’s the solution? With some simple DIY strategies and energy-efficient practices, you can create a cooler home without breaking the bank. Here are some tips to help you beat the heat this July:

1. Optimize Your Insulation

Proper insulation is critical in maintaining a comfortable temperature inside your home. It acts as a barrier, keeping the cool air inside and the hot air outside. If your home isn’t properly insulated, you may be losing a significant amount of cool air. Check your attic, walls, and floors for any insulation gaps and fix them with spray foam or fiberglass batt insulation.

2. Make the Most of Window Treatments

Window treatments aren’t just for decoration; they can significantly affect the temperature inside your home. In the summer, about 76% of the sunlight that falls on standard double-pane windows enters in the form of heat. Consider investing in thermal curtains, cellular shades, or reflective window films that can help block heat from entering your home.

3. Maintain Your Cooling System

Your air conditioner works hard during the hot summer months. Regular maintenance can keep it running efficiently, which in turn can save energy and money. Replace filters monthly during the summer and consider a professional tune-up once a year.

4. Use Ceiling Fans Wisely

Ceiling fans can be a great way to supplement air conditioning, allowing you to raise the thermostat setting about 4°F with no reduction in comfort, according to Energy.gov. Just make sure your fans are rotating counterclockwise in the summer to push cool air downwards.

5. Install a Programmable Thermostat

With a programmable thermostat, you can automatically adjust the temperature in your home at different times of the day. For example, you can set it to a higher temperature when you’re away from home and lower it shortly before you return. This can help save energy without sacrificing comfort.

6. Cook Smart

Avoid using the oven or stove during the hottest parts of the day. Consider using a microwave, slow cooker, or outdoor grill instead. You can also try making no-cook meals like salads and sandwiches.

Remember, every bit of energy you save helps to reduce your home’s overall demand. Not only are these tips cost-effective, but they’re also better for the environment. Stay cool and enjoy the summer months in your comfortable, energy-efficient home.

Economic Update | Week Ending July 13, 2024

Economic news this week – As Real Estate Brokers we are focused on inflation. Higher inflation drives mortgage interest rates higher. Higher mortgage rates make homes less affordable. This week there was more evidence that inflation is cooling. On Thursday, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was released for June. Month-over-month the CPI dropped 0.1%, its first month-over-month decrease since May 2020, at the peak of the pandemic. Year-over-year the CPI rate was 3%, its lowest in three years, and down from a 3.3% increase in May. Core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy costs was up 3.3% year-over-year, its smallest increase since April 2021. These readings were well below economists’ expectations. Friday the Producer Price Index (PPI) was released. Unfortunately, it climbed 0.2% month-over-month in June. That was above the 1% rise economists expected. Year-over-year wholesale prices are up 2.6%, also above expectations. The Michigan survey of consumer sentiment hit an 8-month low. In this bad news is good news for a rate cut environment, that brought rates down further. Next week we will get retail sales figures. If those follow consumer sentiment, we will see rates continue to drop. Several Fed officials also spoke this week and even the most hawkish ones expressed their satisfaction with the direction of inflation and inflationary pressures. The Fed has left its key rates at the highest levels in 25 years for almost a year. They have stated that a cycle of cuts will begin as soon as they feel inflation is under control. Experts gave a 97% chance of a Fed rate cut in September.

Stock markets – The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed the week at 40,000.90, up 1.6% from 39,375.87 last week. It is up 6.1% year-to-date. The S&P 500 closed the week at 5,615.35, up 0.9% from 5,567.19 last week. The S&P is up 17.7% year-to-date. The Nasdaq closed the week at 18,398.45, up 0.3% from 18,352.67 last week. It is up 22.6% year-to-date.

U.S. Treasury bond yields – The 10-year treasury bond closed the week yielding 4.18%, down from 4.28% last week. The 30-year treasury bond yield ended the week at 4.39% down from 4.47% last week. We watch bond yields because mortgage rates follow bond yields.

Mortgage rates – Every Thursday Freddie Mac publishes interest rates based on a survey of mortgage lenders throughout the week. The Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Survey reported that mortgage rates for the most popular loan products as of July 11, 2024, were as follows: The 30-year fixed mortgage rate was 6.89%, down from 6.95% last week. The 15-year fixed was 6.17%, down from 6.25% last week.

The graph below shows the trend of mortgage rates over the past year.

Freddie Mac was chartered by Congress in 1970 to keep money flowing to mortgage lenders in support of homeownership and rental housing. Their mandate is to provide liquidity, stability, and affordability to the U.S.

June home sales figures will be released next week by the California Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors. You can get that data now for your county, city, or zip code at RodeoRE.com.

Have a great weekend!

From YouTube Shorts to Gemini AI and More! | Tech News

Never miss a beat in the world of tech! Check out what’s happening from across the web with our weekly tech news write-up. From YouTube Shorts to Gemini AI and more, we have the news you want to know below!

Tesla Delays Fully Autonomous Robotaxi Reveal

Tesla has postponed the unveiling of its fully autonomous robotaxi to October to allow more time for engineering and testing, Bloomberg reports. Originally scheduled for August 8th, the delay was communicated internally but has not been publicly announced. Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who has emphasized Tesla’s identity as an AI and robotics company over a traditional automaker, has long teased the robotaxi concept, envisioning revenue opportunities for Tesla owners through autonomous ride-hailing. Despite previous ambitious timelines, Tesla’s current Autopilot and Full Self-Driving systems still require active driver supervision. Meanwhile, competitors like Waymo are already operating fully autonomous robotaxis in several US cities. Tesla describes the upcoming robotaxi as “purpose built,” designed from the ground up for self-driving, often without traditional controls. For more details and updates, visit Tesla’s official website.

YouTube Introduces New Features for YouTube Shorts

YouTube has rolled out new features for YouTube Shorts, including text-to-speech narration and auto-generated captions, mimicking TikTok’s popular functionalities. The text-to-speech feature allows users to add an artificial voiceover by tapping the “add voice” icon, with four voices currently available. Auto-generated captions can now be added directly within Shorts, offering customizable fonts and colors. Additionally, YouTube has introduced Minecraft-themed effects, including a green screen background and a minigame called Minecraft Rush. These updates reflect the ongoing trend of video platforms adopting each other’s features, with YouTube’s strategy to enhance Shorts proving successful.

Google Enhances Robot Navigation and Task Completion with Gemini AI

Google is enhancing its robots’ navigation and task completion abilities using Gemini AI, specifically the Gemini 1.5 Pro model. According to a new research paper by the DeepMind robotics team, Gemini’s long context window allows RT-2 robots to understand natural language instructions better. By “watching” video tours of environments like homes or offices, the robots learn to execute commands, such as locating a power outlet for charging a phone. In tests, these robots achieved a 90 percent success rate across over 50 instructions within a 9,000-square-foot area. Gemini 1.5 Pro also enables the robots to plan tasks beyond navigation, such as checking for a favorite drink in the fridge. While processing instructions can take 10–30 seconds, these advancements suggest future robots could assist with everyday tasks like finding keys or wallets.

280 Earth’s Carbon Capture Technology Aims to Mitigate Data Center Emissions

Data centers significantly contribute to carbon emissions, exacerbated by the energy demands of training AI models. A startup, 280 Earth, spun out of Google’s X, proposes a solution by developing technology that captures carbon dioxide from the air, utilizes servers’ waste heat, and generates water for cooling. The company secured a $40 million agreement through the Frontier initiative, supported by Stripe, Alphabet, Meta, Shopify, and McKinsey, among others. 280 Earth’s continuous sorbent technology enhances efficiency, avoiding the energy losses of batch processing. Besides capturing CO2, it also extracts water vapor for cooling needs, addressing both emissions and resource consumption. While promising, these carbon capture technologies face challenges related to cost, scalability, and safety, and are not substitutes for reducing fossil fuel dependence.

SpaceX’s Starlink Mini Dish Now Available to All in the US

SpaceX’s new Starlink Mini dish, touted by Elon Musk as a world-changing innovation, is now available to anyone in the US. The compact internet-from-space kit integrates a dish and Wi-Fi router into a weatherproof, laptop-sized package that consumes less power than previous models and can be powered by a 100W USB-PD source. Initially offered only to current Residential subscribers, the Starlink Mini is now accessible to vanlifers and digital nomads. Priced at $599, it comes with two service options: Regional and Mini Roam. Both plans can be paused between uses.

As part of the deal, Paramount Chair Shari Redstone will sell National Amusements for $2.4 billion. Likewise, Skydance will invest $8 billion to merge with Paramount, purchasing shares and addressing debt. This merger aims to fortify Paramount amid industry changes and sustain its success.
