charles stallions: Charles Stallions, SREE we serve and help our seniors in their move.
- 04/27/25 06:22 PM
Downsizing can be a wise and liberating move for seniors looking to simplify their lives. Start by assessing your current home and identifying what space and items you genuinely need. Consider moving to a smaller house, condo, or senior living community that better fits your lifestyle and reduces maintenance.
Next, go through your belongings with a plan: keep only what’s essential or truly meaningful. Begin with one room at a time and sort items into categories: keep, donate, gift, or discard. This process can also be a great opportunity to pass down heirlooms or keepsakes to family.

charles stallions: Getting Comfortable with the New Normal Mortgage Rates.
- 04/25/25 04:55 PM
The biggest shock to homebuyers was the soaring mortgage rates of 2022, which doubled in one year, resulting in approximately 15 million mortgage-ready buyers being displaced from the market due to affordability issues.
As of February 23, 2023, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was at 6.5%. While that is twice as high as it was on January 6, 2022, it is still lower than the 7.75% average rate since April 2, 1971, according to the Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey.
When rates increase at a rapid pace, it takes time for the public to adjust and accept it as the new normal.
