Are Grandparents Moving To Be Closer to Their Grandkids? During the pandemic, many people distanced themselves from their loved ones for health reasons. Grandparents were told to stay away from their grandkids, especially as schools started to open.

Are you thinking about buying a new construction home, but don’t know where to begin?
