Happening Now: The Fed issues an emergency federal funds rate cut
Based on concerns around coronavirus and its impact on the global economy, the Fed held a special meeting and issued an emergency rate cut. The new benchmark federal funds rate is 1% to 1.25%. Even though the Federal Funds Rate does not directly impact mortgages, rates are historically low. This move by the Fed will likely serve to keep rates at near historic lows in the near term. Contact me today if you would like to learn more about the current rate environment or explore available home financing options.

2 Good reasons a Sun City resale may be a better option than new
Everybody is excited about the new Gas Service we are getting in Mesquite. The provider is Southwest Gas. I will post a link to a story published today about gas costs in las Vegas. Our Electricity Provider OPD5 is a non profit organization delivering cost WELL below what other utilitiy companies are charging. The employees of this organization are incredibly proud of their accomplishments and ability to keep our costs low. Currently we are paying 8.6 cents per kilowatt hour. That is really low compared to other entities. After readng this article I am more skeptical than ever at how our neighbors costs with gas will compare to ours that are all electric. Time will tell.

Below is reason #2. The builder saddles the buyer with customary selller costs. You can see for yourself below. Call me to discuss RESALE. I can also represent you on New Builds independent of the builder PULTE.
