Making new friends:

"I’ve written about this organization in the past, mainly because its mission is so easy to grasp: “To make friends and enjoy life.”

What could be finer? The best way to find out is to attend the Fox Valley Newcomers and Neighbors Club new member expo from 10 to 11 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 7, in the Carnegie Room of the St. Charles Public Library.

Initially started as a way for new residents to get to know the area and its people better, it has morphed into a place to build friendships. Most, but not all, members are retired and looking to get out and do things.

The organization's menu includes monthly luncheons, card games, special events, book clubs, and golf groups.

Information about fees and activities can be obtained by calling membership co-chair John Glenn at 630-330-7843 or visiting the website at foxvalleynewcomers.com .

A word to the wise if selling your home -

Quality issues are slowing down resale transactions.

"While the number of resale homes on the market has improved in some metros, potential buyers are not making offers on many of these homes due to their poor condition. We surveyed ~1,400 resale agents nationally in April, and 99% said they have recently seen resale home listings that need repairs or updating.
Nationally, an average of 37% of current and expected listings require repairs and updates, and 27% of surveyed agents indicate that most listings need improvements."

"We are now expecting only one cut in rates in 2024, in December.

Diane Swonk, KPMG Chief Economist"

No rate cuts are imminent, barring an “unexpected weakening” in the labor market.
