I had to post a little early this week in advance of Milton’s arrival. You live in South Florida long enough, you kind of go into “hurricane mode” and do what you need to do in advance of a pending storm. Most who live here are prepared, some are not. So as Milton bears down on...
Welcome to October! So much to do, only ten weeks left to get it done to close out 2024 strong and roll into 2025 with a full pipeline! As you know, October has always been business planning month for me and my clients because you need time to do the work, set in place the strategies and...
Yes, the FED cut the overnight lending rate by fifty basis points and mortgage rates went higher! Yes, the markets moved higher on the 30-day rates, but have you looked at 45- and 60-day pricing? Pricing on longer term locks is signaling that the markets are betting on the rate market going...
