Happy Early Thanksgiving!
BRRRR it's definitely cold! Hope everyone has a wonderful meal and get to spend quality time with family & friends! For those of you cooking during the holidays here's some no no's for the disposal:
- Do not pour any grease of any sort down your drain. Wipe out the pan with paper towels or pour the grease into a can and dispose of it in the trash. Chasing grease with dish detergent is not enough to keep it from gunking up your pipes and garbage disposal. Not to mention the fact that rancid grease will start to smell bad if it lines your pipes. Not fun.
- Avoid letting vegetable peelings or fruit peels down your garbage disposal. Carrot, sweet potato, russet potato, cucumber, etc., etc. They will jam up your disposal and get stuck on the sides of your disposal or your pipes. There was a trend for a while of putting lemon or lime peels down the disposal to freshen your kitchen with that citrus smell, but actually, those will also get stuck in the disposal, so don't do it.
- Do not put meat, skin from meat, fat or bones down the disposal.
- Don't put rice, pasta, oatmeal or grits down the disposal; they'll clog up your pipes.
- Eggshells are a surprising no-no. They will also stick to the inside of your disposal.
If you're looking for a fresh start in a new home this year, we would love to help.
Please reach out anytime!

October Charlotte Market Update
|
In October, mortgage rates increased slightly from the three-year lows seen in
September. While the Federal Reserve reduced the federal-funds target rate by .25%,
this decline was widely expected and largely factored into mortgage rates already,
which are still approximately 1% lower than this time last year. Fannie Mae is predicting
that continued low rates, and possibly lower rates, are expected in 2020.
New Listings were up in the Charlotte region by 5.9 percent to 5,122. Pending Sales
increased 25.9 percent to 4,675. Inventory shrank 19.5 percent to 9,094 units.
Prices moved higher as Median Sales Price was up 9.3 percent to $253,000. Months
Supply of Homes for Sale was down 25.0 percent to 2.1 months, indicating that
demand increased relative to supply.
As we begin the slower time of year for home sales, historically low mortgage rates will
continue to support buyer demand and may create additional lift to home prices as
excellent affordability gives buyers the ability to offer more to secure their dream home.
Throughout much of the country, the continued low level of housing inventory also
continues to constrain sales activity from where it would likely be in a balanced market.
