New Year. New Rates.
Mortgage rates opened the new year by moving slightly lower.⠀
⠀
According to the latest data released Thursday by Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed-rate average slipped to 3.72 percent.⠀
⠀
“The combination of improved economic data and market sentiment has led to stability in mortgage rates, which have hovered around 3.7 percent for nearly the last two months,” Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist, said in a statement. The low mortgage rate environment combined with the red-hot labor market is setting the stage for a continued rise in home sales and home prices.”⠀

You have to be very careful when you come to Oregon...people come to Oregon and they don't leave. It starts as a visit, and turns into home. www.michellejohnsonhomes.com
According to a recent article published in the LA Times, California's population growth is the slowest since 1900 as residents leave, and immigration decelerates. ⠀
⠀
The most common destinations for those leaving the state were Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon, Texas and Washington. Aside from a lower cost of living, some Californians are drawn to areas with no state income tax.
Are you ready? 4...3...2..1...Merry Christmas 🎄

Design Love ♥️
Everyone knows kitchens and bathrooms sell a house. Consider adding a rustic mountain-style vibe to your master bath as seen in this photo from @lmkinteriordesign. When implementing a rustic design, think stone surfaces, weathered woods, patinas, and spaces that evoke a warm feeling of comfort, and relaxation.
