A word to the wise if selling your home -

Quality issues are slowing down resale transactions.

"While the number of resale homes on the market has improved in some metros, potential buyers are not making offers on many of these homes due to their poor condition. We surveyed ~1,400 resale agents nationally in April, and 99% said they have recently seen resale home listings that need repairs or updating.
Nationally, an average of 37% of current and expected listings require repairs and updates, and 27% of surveyed agents indicate that most listings need improvements."

"We are now expecting only one cut in rates in 2024, in December.

Diane Swonk, KPMG Chief Economist"

A pregnant pause No rate cuts are imminent, barring an “unexpected weakening” in the labor market.

Study: Homeowners Associations Are Booming The number of HOAs is expected to grow by 3,000 in 2024 alone, according to new data, which will add to homeownership costs for residents.

Welcome to the Magentaverse: Pantone's 2023 Color of the Year - Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Blog - Luxury Home & Style When Pantone introduced the 2022 Color of the Year, they noted how the periwinkle Veri Peri “blended the faithfulness and constancy of blue with the energy and excitement of red.” In what seems like a worthy evolution, Pantone has stripped out the blue, embracing the vibrancy of red this year.

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!
This is to let y'all know that Fox Valley Newcomers and Neighbors, a social club of which I find myself the Membership Chair - despite my Groucho Marx approach to clubs - will be hosting our annual meet and greet/Q&A Coffee & Vittles Event for PROSPECTIVE MEMBERS this Thursday, August 4, from 10-11 am at Arcedium Coffee in St. Charles. We have members throughout the greater Tri-Cities and beyond who like to gather for fun activities and where politics, religion, and selling things to each other are all way off the table. All that's on the table are food, drink, cards, dominoes, movies, trips, and laughter. So it you're looking for a good time or know someone who's in dire need of new friendships but needs a nudge, point them to Arcedium this Thursday morning at 10 am.

Arcedium Coffee 60 Indiana St., St. Charles, IL.
