| | In the last 2 weeks of 2023 the average, weekly, 30 year mortgage interest rate dropped from 7.79% to 6.61%. With the fall in inflation this past year, the Fed is widely expected to begin dropping its benchmark rate, probably in multiple steps, in 2024. The consensus forecast among analysts is for further declines in mortgage interest rates. With interest rates falling and economic conditions and consumer confidence rebounding, the big question is how much do rates need to fall for buyers and sellers to participate in the market in normal numbers again. Interest rates of around 5% would reflect very healthy market conditions. I predict a stronger market this year, with many buyers getting off the fence and back into the market. Please enjoy the attached market report with updated statistics for the month of December, as well as trends in home prices, speed of sale, volume, etc. |

| | My neighbor, the talented Gary Yost of Mill Valley created this wonderful piece of music to share. He is inspired by the magic of Mill Valley and Cascade Falls. Here is what he has to say: 'We moved into our house almost 30 years ago without realizing that it was just a few hundred yards from Cascade Falls — discovering this magical place next-door was the bonus of bonuses. Since then I’ve made many films, photographs and meditations about this place and exactly a year ago wrote my first musical composition about it — here’s an expression of my feelings about it right now.’ |
