MORTGAGE CORNER

What does June have in store for mortgage rates?

Mortgage rates were expected to have moved lower by now this year, but have been stubbornly high. However, June could be a turning point where the door opens for rates to move lower the second half of the year. It will depend on if the labor data that is released the first week of June shows a softening labor market with increased unemployment, as we saw in May, as well as how the Fed meeting goes on June 12th.

We also can't forget the inflation data that will come out the second week of June, which will hopefully show that inflation is once again moving lower after stalling the first part of this year.

So, although no one has a crystal ball, we do know that there are some events this month that could at least show progress for mortgage rates, setting us up to see them finally move lower as we head into the rest of the year.

Today’s home...

Located in Winnetka, Illinois this stately brick Georgian residence is one of the most iconic movie residences in American pop culture.

That's right, this is the home that Kevin had to defend against Marv and Harry (the Wet Bandits!)... but it's been updated for 2024. This house is huge, with enough room to host your extended family before leaving on your European vacation!

This 9,126 sq ft house was built in 1921, has 16 rooms including a high end kitchen, two laundry rooms (one upstairs and one downstairs) a mudroom and more!

Amenities include:

5 bedrooms, 6 baths
3 car garage
A theatre room and game room that features an indoor sports court with half court basketball!

BONUS: Do you remember the attic that Kevin slept in, where he was forgotten for the trip? That's been turned into a junior primary suite with full bath and soaking tub!
