Every year millions of Americans make the decision to move. The number one reason? The yearning to be closer to family. This desire is often driven by life's significant milestones such as growing families, weddings, new jobs and retirements.
If living closer to family isn’t possible right now, there are ways that you can strengthen those bonds. This month we are sharing some of those ideas as well as an interesting stat to ponder — living near loved ones may help you live 50% longer. If this flyer gets you thinking that maybe it is the right time to consider a move, please feel free to reach out to us and we can chat about possible options. We're always here to answer any questions you or your family may have related to real estate. Interest rates have always fluctuated, but on average have hovered in the 5-10% range for the past three decades. And industry experts believe rates will potentially fall to the low 6 percent range by the end of 2024. I hope this helps bring some perspective if you’re contemplating buying or selling your home.
