Interest Rates Don’t Determine The Market – Life Does
We can’t seem to catch a break with interest rates lately. The Fed voted to increase them again this week. And while mortgage rates didn’t instantly shoot up, it’s going to have an impact. Every 1% raise in interest rates decreases buying power by 10%, and they are up almost 3% from last year. That’s…

We had breakfast with my niece this week to celebrate her 12th birthday. She is one of my favorite people on the planet, and in the thick of life as a middle schooler and all of the sometimes goofy stuff that comes with that. I found her the cutest bracelet with beads that spell out…
Read MoreYour Marketing Plan Needs More Than an Offer Review Date
