There are no new listings for today. A check of the weather indicates we have another system coming through starting Friday and continuing through Sunday. I’m thinking there’s a good chance we’ll see Lake Casitas at close to 100% by next Friday!

The weekend open house list is up and running! Reminder that all of the links are clickable so that you can see the information for each home. Additionally, clicking on the maps will send you to an interactive version of the map through Bing. (I would typically use Google maps, but there is a limit to the number of destinations you can enter at one time.) If you’re out looking for open houses, you can send these map links to your phone to take with you.
Again, have a great weekend!

Fed “Held Rates Steady,” But Indicates Three Rate Cuts Still Coming This Year…Mortgage Rates Improved!
Markets were most interested in the Fed’s projections for future rate cuts. Investors cheered the Federal Reserve’s statement that it still expects 3 interest rate cuts by the end of this year.
This was a bit more hopeful than markets expected from today’s announcement. US stocks closed near all-time highs, and for the better news… Bonds improved, and mortgage rates fell. With this news, best available rates for a 30-yr conventional loan sit at around 6.50%!

I took a drive past Lake Casitas on Sunday and took the photo above. For the first time in probably 12 years, the “island” that was in the middle is now gone. I appreciate how the two trees in the foreground are still hanging in there. I can imagine the conversation between them back in 2012:
Tree #1: “Let’s root here.”
Tree #2: “You don’t think this area is prone to flooding?”
Tree #1: “Nah, we should be good. That’s what flood insurance is for.”
[12 years later…]
Tree #2: “I told you this was gonna be a problem!”
Tree #1: “Nag, nag, nag…”
