🏠 **Could someone steal your house without you knowing?**

Most of us take precautions to protect our homes from break-ins, but have you ever thought about protecting the paperwork that proves you own yours?

Deed fraud occurs when someone files fraudulent documents claiming ownership of a property. While it isn't common, sorting out the consequences can be complicated and costly.

Fortunately, Virginia homeowners have access to a **free property alert service** that can notify them when certain documents are recorded in local land records.

It's simple to sign up, and a few minutes today could help you catch a potential problem sooner.

Learn how the service works and where to register in our latest blog post:

Your next wallpaper might do more than decorate your home!

Researchers have developed wallpaper that generates electricity using moisture already present in indoor air.

It doesn't produce enough power to run household appliances, but it could someday operate small devices like temperature and humidity sensors without batteries. Imagine not having to crawl into the attic or crawl space just to replace a sensor battery!

It's still experimental, but the technology offers an interesting glimpse into what homes of the future might look like.

Read how it works and what researchers have discovered:

Have you ever spotted a gorgeous lamp, rug, or piece of furniture, only to discover that the price was way beyond your budget?

Here's a shopping trick you might not know about: You can take a picture of something you love, upload it to ChatGPT, and ask AI to find similar items for less!

And that's just the beginning. AI can also help you track down replacements for favorite household items, compare prices from different retailers, and determine whether a bargain is actually worth buying.

In our latest AI for Homeowners article, we'll show you how to do it, including easy prompts you can copy and try yourself. We even compare three beautiful blue-and-white lamps with surprisingly different price tags!

🌧️ Whew! Your home made it through the storm! Or did it?

The roof looks fine, the windows are intact, and the only cleanup seems to be a few fallen branches. But what about the places you can't easily see?

Water may have found its way into your attic or crawl space, heavy rain could have washed soil away from your foundation, and strong winds may have left tree branches cracked but still hanging.

Our latest blog post takes you through the places worth checking after a strong storm, including some you might not have thought about.

Repair it or replace it? How do you know which makes more sense?

Your dishwasher isn't draining, your air conditioner needs another expensive repair, or a contractor says it's time to replace your windows. Before spending hundreds—or thousands—of dollars, wouldn't it be nice to better understand your options?

AI tools like ChatGPT can help you investigate problems, research typical repair and replacement costs, compare alternatives, and prepare questions for contractors.

And you don't need to know all the details to get started. Just tell AI what you know and let the conversation help you figure out the rest.

Our latest AI Homeowners Resource Guide article shows you how.
