OK, this is wrong. The reason this was illegal before was that it could be considered steering. Agents and lenders can easily redline a neighborhood and steer buyers toward more expensive homes. This also drives down values in minority neighborhoods. In the past, developers have done this, and it's called Block Busting. This is when you go into an area, convince the local owners that the neighborhood is going downhill, and they need to sell now. They then buy the houses for a song and resell them to others for significant profits. It is illegal. If agents do this, they should lose their license and be banned from the industry for three to five years. If you're considering this and you are an agent, this rule will get reversed. Don't even think about it!

Key takeawaysThe U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has advised in a letter that real estate agents may discuss neighborhood crime rates

Weird things I find while showing houses.
A 1950’s row house in Ft. Totten hasn’t been updated in a long time. It had a ton of cool wall paper and this amazing radio toilet paper holder.

Okay, yes, rates may have dropped a bit to an average of around 5.9-5.7%. Yes thats nice. But don't go out there like a crazy person. If you're interested in checking what the drop of .10% means, you can go to several websites to calculate what the difference in those rates would actually mean.
Will they drop more? Maybe, probably? It depends on what happens to the economy. If we had a more stable Gov right now, we could at least make some general predictions.
If you're thinking about buying a home dont just let the interest rate make that decision. There are lots of other factors that you should consider. If you want to discuss with us, feel free to message me directly.

The evidence is patchy on whether lower rates have meaningfully spurred more activity, as the Trump administration floats measures it says will make housing more affordable.

As I get older, the more I think about making my space more manageable.

It turns out asking “Are you happy with your home?” yields a very different answer than “Are you happy with your life?”

Ive seen articles about this all the time. But I always wondered where the natural light would come from. These look pretty cool, and I love the ceiling height!
