As we enter into the fall real estate season, the lower mortgage interest rates are benefiting buyers and sellers! Mortgage interest rates had a significant drop to 6.15% for a 30 year fixed and 5.59% for a 15 year fixed which is the lowest mortgage interest rates of 2024. The seller’s market continues as inventory is historically low and remodeled homes in the coastal communities are selling quickly making it a favorable time to list a property. Contact us to discuss your unique home buying or selling situation. Read on for local events in September, real estate in the news, and discover lifestyle tips.
