A recent CNN article notes that mortgage rates have fallen consistently the last four weeks.  The article reports on a decrease in mortgage rates in the United States as of April 6, 2023. The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage has fallen by 0.04% since last week, while the average 15-year fixed-rate mortgage has decreased by 0.02%. This drop in rates is attributed to global economic uncertainty and is expected to encourage more people to buy homes or refinance their existing mortgages. Read more here.

Measure ULA update – the law firm, Howard Jarvis, representing the lawsuit against Measure ULA has a form that can be filled out at the time of closing if your property is going to sell over $5,000,000.  Instead of the funds going directly to Measure ULA the funds that would go to Measure ULA will be held up with this court filing and if the attorneys’ win, the funds would be returned to the seller rather than passed off to Measure ULA.   There are many fundamental issues with Measure ULA that has this law firm taking up the baton to fight.  If you have a home valued more than $5M or you think in that price point and you are needing to sell but really want to avoid the Measure ULA, let’s schedule a call and talk how we can strategically help you with this.  More on the fight here.
