Ideal study space!
It's a celebration!
I've known this for some time and finally taking a moment to post .... Please vote and especially San Jose residents about the following: Measure E (San Jose-only March Primary ballot measure) will continue to tax those who want to buy or sell a home in the form of a massive increase to the local Transfer Tax. This tax increase will take the existing tax from $3.30/$1,000 of assessed value, to $15/$1,000 of assessed value - a 450% increase! ... My understanding is that SJ City Council earmarked the funds towards a couple of items related to housing, but it still will go to the GENERAL FUND where it appears to be really easy to change WHAT the $$ is used for down the road. Please forward to others in the area.
I always recommend that buyers drive around the neighborhood during the day, evenings, nights, during the week and weekends, just to check out the neighborhood at different times, AND check out your commute.
Easy to clean I'll bet, but a smidge too small.
This past week the Federal Reserve (Fed) cut the Fed Funds Rate by .25% to 2.25%, the first rate cut in 10 years. Many consumers are wondering why home loan rates haven’t declined by .25% in tandem with the Fed action. Let’s break down how a Fed rate cut affects different interest rates including home loan rates. The Fed Funds Rate (FFR) is an overnight rate at which banks lend to each other. It affects short-term rates on things like home-equity loans, credit cards, and auto... loans. And oh, by the way, savings deposit rates likely decline as well. The FFR has no effect whatsoever on home loan rates. Home loan rates are driven by pricing and trading action in mortgage-backed securities (see chart below), which tend to ebb and flow with the direction of U.S. 10-Year Note. The main driver for long-term rates, like mortgages, is inflation and inflation expectations. If inflation is forecasted to move higher, rates move higher. The opposite is also true. Since last November and up until last Wednesday’s Fed rate cut, home loan rates have declined by over 1.00%, so home loan rates have already declined by a lot. Another driver of long-term rates is uncertainty, and last Thursday we received a good dose upon a surprise announcement that the U.S. will institute a fresh 10% tariff on $300B worth of Chinese goods. In response, home loan rates touched the lowest levels in three years. Bottom line: home loan rates are near three-year lows and thanks to low inflation, slowing growth around the globe, and the U.S./China trade war renewed, rates are likely to go lower still and move around quite a bit.

I found the numbers interesting.
