Market update: The issue of affordability continues to plague buyers seeking to purchase a house. The national association of home builders estimates that 57% of households currently could not afford a house of $300,000 at the mortgage rate of 6.5%. There may be a turn of fortune on the horizon for home buyers though, with rates currently expected to drop and the supply of housing on the market increasing 20% since this same time last year; home sales have still slowed to the slowest rate since 2009. If you’re thinking of selling a current home, but your current mortgage rate is below 3%, that needs to be factored in. If you’re looking to downsize, this may also be the beginning of a once-in-a-decade opportunity to position yourself to use equity. Now is one of those times to pay attention, markets can change fast for better or worse. Don’t miss your opportunity to secure a home that meets your needs for the future!

Home maintenance is a crucial element of any household. As we push through this current hot weather; many folks are noticing that their central air conditioning may be running constantly (despite the house not seeming cool enough). Sometimes the simplest solution to this problem is just cleaning the outside condenser unit.

As these pieces of your air conditioning system sit outside year round, they can accumulate pollen, dust, mold, leaves, acorns, and other miscellaneous yard debris. The coils can become clogged; reducing efficiency and ultimately making it difficult to perform its intended function of shedding heat. Simply removing the cage and brushing down the coils carefully before rinsing them off can yield miraculous results. Please be sure to disconnect power to your condenser prior to performance of maintenance for safety! Follow me for more home tips!
