Mortgage rates are loosely tied to the 10-year treasury bond market … so they went down a bit BEFORE the fed drop, and up slightly since it. BUT they are still a full point lower than they were last year; so for some of you, that combines with other factors (in the market and in your life) to make this a good time to sell and/or buy!

Mortgage rates are ticking up even after the Federal Reserve has started cutting interest rates. Here's why, and where rates — and home sales — could go from here.

We have used Mosquito Squad for 3 full summers to spray to abate ticks in the woods and gardens around my parents’ home. They spray 4 acres to keep my mom as safe from disease-carrying ticks as possible. She gets very sick from anaplasmosis if she ends up with a local tick attached; we have avoided that each year we used Mosquito Squad.

We find them very responsive and willing to adjust to our new requests. They do a consistently good job covering the area we pay them to cover.

I highly recommend them!
