View this email in your browser Buyer Demand Growing                 Buyers are out in full force this fall, increasing the demand for home buying in the country. Buyers clearly have the right idea, as mortgage rates have dropped over a full percentage point since the fall of 2018. They’ve hovered in a historically low range since this summer, making the overall cost of homeownership significantly more attractive and affordable. Clearly the Midwest is lagging behind the rest of the country, but we're starting to see a recent surge. If you’re thinking of waiting until spring to sell, think again! Reach out to Chris Dowell to discuss listing your house now while buyer traffic is actively surging throughout the country.

These smart thermostats will learn when you are home and make sure the home is in a comfortable setting during those hours so you're not cooling the house when no one is around to enjoy it. They also learn when you're going to be home so they can adjust the temperature before you step in the door to ensure your house is always comfortable!
