https://flic.kr/p/2naFnBv  There is a great song by Lynyrd Skynyrd called, “Simple Man”. If you haven’t listened to it in a while or never heard it, it is worth a listen. I am finding that being a simple woman is anything but simple in America. With wealth comes options and with options comes the potential for pride, lust, guilt, greed and many other evils. Want an eye opener? Look at your actions, really look at them and ask the question, “Why”. Why did you do that thing? It is a crucial question. Did you buy that new house because the old one longer worked or was there some other reason that may not have been so noble-like you wanted to impress someone?  WE MUST LOOK AT ACTIONS, NOT WORDS. AND ASK WHY? Why are we sending weapons to Ukraine when the risk of war is growing? Shouldn’t we... 09/05/2023

We deserved a break, and we got one. After avg. 30-yr mortgage rates rose to nearly 7.5% last week, they've quickly dropped back to near 7% on economic data that evidenced a slowing economy and dovish ('we've done enough') comments from existing and past Federal Reserve presidents.The NAR’s July pending sales index rose 0.9% MoM to 77.6. That was a positive surprise, as most people (me included) expected a decline given the prevailing mortgage rates (high) and inventory (low) during the month. But before we get too excited, know this: the index has declined MoM 13 times in the last 18 months, and an index level of 77.6 suggests transaction activity on par with 2008.
