MORTGAGE CORNER
Overcooked Mortgage Rates
Mortgage rates were moving lower a couple of months ago, but went back up again in October and have stayed there.
But as unappealing as these rates may be, it may still be a good time to buy a home or consolidate some debt.
Although these mortgage rates may not feel like something to be thankful for, I can still help.
If you want to "talk turkey" about getting a mortgage, I'm here for you.

Is this year's football actually better than canned cranberry sauce?
Did you know that the first Thanksgiving Day football game was played in Philadelphia in 1869?
