No, you're not dreaming.
A survey of landscape architects found that 56.4 percent of firm leaders reported stable or above levels of billable hours in the first quarter of 2010, up from 45.5 percent last quarter and 25.2 percent from the same time last year.
“The large number of inquiries marks an important sign of recovery, but by no means is this a suddenly booming economy for landscape architects,” American Society of Landscape Architects President and CEO Nancy Somerville says.

4 Fundamentals of Selling a Home Today
Here are four things sellers should understand about today’s market to make their homes as saleable as possible:
1. Real estate pricing is very local: “When you’re looking at comparables, you have to see what’s sold in the past three months. Look at your competition and what’s under agreement,” advises Colette Casey-Brenner, sales manager at Coldwell Banker Arlington, Mass.
2. Get property pics online: Stage the property, then take pictures and video. Better yet, hire a professional photographer to do the job.
3. Disclosure is key: Tell potential buyers what’s wrong before they figure it out. That eliminates last-minute re-negotiations and cold feet.
4. Clean, clean, super-clean: A clean and clutter-free property makes potential buyers likely to pay more, says David Kelman, an associate with RE/MAX Landmark in Milton, Mass.
