I don’t get as much time off for the holiday as I used to. I was spoiled when I worked for the school. Sometimes this is how it feels now, which is a bummer. I love Christmas! I know a lot of people who are also missing loved ones at this time ❤️‍🩹
I’m finally decorating today and playing Christmas music. Im kicking my Christmas spirit into high gear and maybe watch Elf or Home Alone, ooh or maybe Christmas with the Kranks. I almost forgot about The Santa Clause series with Tim Allen too. Oh wait, The grinch! Im getting carried away already. A few of my favorites.
Don’t forget The reason for the season…

Merry Christmas, peace and joy to all my friends and family ❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️

This Christmas...

You don't have to be full of joy
All merry and all bright
You don't have to force festive cheer
If you don't feel alright

No, you're not obligated
To be jovial and jolly
To string the lights and sing the songs
Or deck the halls with holly

Perhaps you're missing someone
And perhaps they miss you too
Perhaps you're feeling burdened
By how much you have to do

Perhaps the bleak mid winter
Leaves you feeling rather cold
Perhaps it's hard to drive
December's darkness from your soul

Perhaps you'd rather hibernate,
Let Christmas pass you by
But remember; it's not long ‘til you
Can bid this year goodbye

For now, don't paint a smile
Upon your teary, tired face
Instead, find quiet moments
Where this season gives you space

And recognise that songs
And decorations cannot hide
The flurry of emotions
Overwhelming you inside

Yes, find those little moments
Where the lights don't feel so bright
Where you don't have to keep pretending
Just to be polite

Where you can breathe in peacefully
Away from all the noise
Away from expectation
That you're full of festive joys

‘Cause when the day is over
And the lights are taken down
When it’s another year
Before next Christmas rolls around

Yes, when the joy is fading
And the merriment has ceased
You’ll be so very grateful for
Those pocketfuls of peace.

WHY IS LENDER PRE-APPROVAL SO IMPORTANT??
If a house seems like a great deal to you, chances are you will not be alone in todays market. In order for me to do my job effectively on your behalf, as a REALTOR, I have to have all the tools available to present the best offer possible.

“I know what I can afford. I’ll speak with a lender when I found the house I want.”

It’s not uncommon to hear these two sentences from a prospective buyer. The good news is that the current market is moving very quickly, and buyers need to be able to present a package complete with pre-approval if they want to compete with other buyers. “I use information about the average market time of homes in my area to show my clients the importance of being pre-qualified,” Ruiz states. “In my area, homes are receiving multiple offers in just a few days. If my clients want me to negotiate a good deal, then I need to have all the tools necessary to do that.”

Food for thought...

The interest rate you pay on your home mortgage has a direct impact on your monthly payment. The higher the rate the greater the payment will be. That is why it is important to look at where rates are headed when deciding to buy now or wait until next year.
