century 21: Mortgage Interest Rated Continue to Drop to Historic Levels! - 05/02/13 08:56 AM
Today, 5/2/2013 Freddie Mac reported that the average mortgage interest rate for 30 year fixed-rate mortgage was 3.35% down from 3.40% last week. The average interest rate for 15 year fixed-rate mortgages was 2.56%, down from 2.61% last week. A year ago the 30 year rate was 3.84%.
These are some of the lowest mortgage interest rates ever seen in the United States! Take advantage of them while you can. At some point I guarantee that they will go back up and cost home buyers hundreds of dollars more every month. And untold thousands over the life of a 30 year … (0 comments)

century 21: Zephyrhills' Flea Market Closed for Summer of 2013. To reopen in Fall - 04/25/13 08:06 AM
My dad has informed me that the Patriot Flea Market just south of Zephyrhills, Florida is no longer open and is taking a break for the 2013 summer. That makes sense since so many of our residents have returned to their northern homes and the weather here is really heating up. Perhaps a little too hot to be wandering around under our intense summer sun here in Forida.   Dad believes that the flea market will re-open in the Fall of 2013. I will try to let you know when it is once again operating.     You can get more … (0 comments)

century 21: After Small Rise Last Week, Mortgage Interest Rates Fall Again - 02/28/13 07:05 AM
Today, 2/28/2013 Freddie Mac reported that the average mortgage interest rate for 30 year fixed-rate mortgage was 3.51%  up from 3.56% last week. The average interest rate for 15 year fixed-rate mortgages was 2.76%, down from 2.77% last week. A year ago the 30 year rate was 3.90%.
Freddie Mac indicated that due to a steady level by the consumer price index (CPI) interest rates went down a bit. Lack of  consumer inflation usually seems to encourage lower rates, from what I have observed. However, some things did become more expensive. Freddie Mac reported that house prices had shown gains last year, 2012, with that national home … (0 comments)
