It’s hard to believe that fall is almost here and another year is getting close to wrapping up!

In spite of the up and down nature of the stock market and the economy, the real estate market has remained steady and continues to be one of the best investments.

If you’ve been thinking about buying, selling, or are curious about how the real estate market is doing, this e-newsletter will provide you with information on the real estate market.

Interest Rates

As of September 12, 2019, the current interest rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage loan is about 4% depending on the mortgage company that you choose. Rates are expected to stay low through the remainder of 2019 and possibly during 2020 as well since we will be in an election year and the President is eager to do anything, he can to stimulate the economy.
