With less than 2 weeks to go, Santa has been busily going about his business here on Hilton Head Island. It appears at this point that his sleigh will be a little lighter than in years past in spite of continued efforts by retailers to get consumers into the Holiday Spirit. Incentives abound and sales of merchandise usually reserved for post-Christmas Day are now Pre-Christmas Day. That has to be good news for consumers and yet premium parking spaces are easily available at your favorite stores.
Like gas ($1.61/gal today) and commodity prices falling, interest rates have come down to levels heretofore not seen in quite some time, into the under 5% range. Yes, upper 4% rates on 30 year fixed mortgages are available and Jumbo rates can be had in the mid-5% range. Wow!
Here on Hilton Head it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. All around the Island folks are gearing up for Holiday Parties, lights are twinkling and the weather has been cooperating nicely of late with warmer than usual temps. Our wishes are that you will take time to enjoy the Holiday and give thanks with those you love and not be consumed by negativity. Be consumed by the Nativity instead! Trust in Him-the Reason for the Season. God Bless and Merry Christmas!
