BALANCING ACT

“Step with care and great tact, and remember that Life's a Great Balancing Act.” - Dr. Seuss

There are two types of people in this world—one that starts thinking about the holidays the day after Labor Day and the other that will buy a tree, presents, and decor a day or two before the party. I think we all know which side of that equation I fall on and I couldn’t be more excited to roll into this year’s holiday festivities starting with Thanksgiving in 13 days!

The chaos of the holiday season is not the only balancing act we will be experiencing this year; our housing market is being pulled in two very different directions as well. "It seems we are in for a period of relatively flat housing price performance around the country as high mortgage rates put downward pressure on prices, while significant demand from household formation and an inventory shortage place upward pressure.” - Ken H. Johnson (Bankrate)
