Just BE!

Today for Boss's Day , at our daily team meeting we were reminiscing about the 'old ' days, when credit reports were received on that glossy paper and it took 3 hours, or how I did not get an answer from underwriting from Chase (I was a broker back then) , so I took the next day 6 am flight to Dallas and sat in their lobby until I got one! Of my 10 team members and processors only one of them was with me back then (my brother Kenny- 13 years!). The rest of them are spoiled by technology, paperless technology and 30 second credit reports. Immediate gratification.

Aren't we all that way now ? Stuck in the 'current' hysteria of now now now!? When do we ever have time to just 'Be'. Be in the moment, do the best you can, and that is enough! So I am working on that currently with a spiritual coach I have. Just 'being'. Hmmmm. That is a new concept for me. Can I still highlight on my checklist when I do that?

In the Markets

Wow, what a ride! Rates have been really up and down this week. WE are ending the week with market suggestions to lock, as the market has been rallying and pushing bonds lower after the news of the lower CPI (Consumer Price Index) which shows inflation at the consumer level . It declined .2%. News of inflation being under control (hence not going up) makes stock investors happy, and therefore bonds suffer, increasing the yields to attract more buyers! 

All in all, its a GREAT TIME TO BUY A HOME! Check out this chart of interest rates, and endorses the reason your buyers should purchase sooner than later! The honeymoon we have been on for 5+ years is surely to end.
