Thanks to a global pandemic, they're getting crash courses in tele-commuting—and tele-learning, and tele-shopping, and tele- just about anything else they can get done online instead of in crowds at workplaces, schools, stores, sports venues, etc.

Going digital

"Social distancing" is the new normal—at least for a while—and anyone who can work while keeping their distance is being urged to do so.

All-Time Low Mortgage Rates

Over the past year or so, mortgage interest rates have been declining as more money flows into the bond markets, and they are now are at an all-time low.

This almost 1% change can increase a consumer’s buying power significantly.

Real estate remains a solid investment with proven appreciation over time. Historically, we’ve seen homes increase in value nearly 5% per year nationwide.
