Ah what a weekend! Did you join the millions of others who trooped to the theatres in search of The Force?

You may not have been alive in 1977 when the first movie came out... but what an impact. I love the message of the constant battle of good and evil. It's one that never grows old.

What's also fun for me is to see WHAT environments people call home. I mean, could you live like Jabba? Or maybe in the sterile environment of a death star? And how we all love having an anchor that feels like home -- in this case Han Solo's "home" is truly the Millennium Falcon. What makes an environment feel like home to you?

As we head into the Christmas holidays, we'll be busy celebrating with friends and families, and wish for you the same. As you look back on this past year... what have you learned? In your home search, what have you discovered? Have your ideas shifted at all? Luckily the Fed only raised interest rates .25% last week, so we're still seeing "essentially" the lowest rates in decades. Are you ready to take advantage of these rates?

Here’s one of my favorites this week…
