Washington's Remains |
Dear , It was very busy this summer both personally and professionally but we also had a lot of fun. Our school year routine has begun and I'm already feeling more productive. Bennett began the 5th grade at SCS on Monday and I'm beginning to see signs of tweenager behavior. I will need professional counseling this year as we begin to be the parents of a mature 11 year old who is testing above the 95th percentile. I spent some time this week reading "Theology of the Body" for teens as we prepare for the inevitable. Help!!...I've created a link to share some of our summer fun photos. We hope you enjoy!

Best regards, Keith (420-0262)

The 30-year fixed averaged 4.15 percent, breaking the previous record low of 4.17 percent set November 11, 2010.
Thirty-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 4.15 percent with an average 0.7 point for the week ending August 18, 2011, down from last week when it averaged 4.32 percent. Last year at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 4.42 percent.

Weak Appraisals Hamper Home Sales
Industry e xperts, Realtors, sellers, and economists say that low-ball appraisals are undermining a housing recovery. Weak appraisals are "driving down the real estate market" and "borders on buffoonery," says William Maxwell, an expert in finance and professor at Southern Methodist University's business school, who has seen his own Dallas property fluctuate in appraised value by $60,000 in just a year. While the sluggish economy has pushed home values down the last few years, some real estate professionals and economists say that low-ball appraisals are pushing values down even more and undermining a housing recovery, The Wall Street Journal reports.
