Old South Pearl Street Farmers Market

Yesterday was a perfect fall day at the Old South Pearl Street Farmers Market. The air was crisp, the sunny yellow leaves crunched beneath my feet, everyone kept the beat to the live Irish music, and I roamed the market with the friendliest of people. I enjoyed the array of fresh organic produce, green products, yummy cookies, natural pastas and meats, and many more treats. With so much fun to be had, it’s hard to believe that there are only two Farmers Markets left this season … be sure to join us October 24th and 31st!

Low mortgage rates + reasonable home prices = the perfect time to buy!

It’s true. With current mortgage rates continuing to remain at historically low rates, buying a home in today’s market makes a great deal of sense. To help put things into perspective, take a look at these rates and their corresponding monthly mortgage payments on a $200K Home Loan:

8% mortgage rate: $1,600
6% mortgage rate: $1,200
5% mortgage rate: $1,000
4% mortgage rate: $800

Note: These payments are approximations and they are based on a 30 fixed rate mortgage and strong credit. Includes principal and interest, excludes taxes and insurance and additional fees.
