Yes, I’m lookin’ at you. 👀 Because if you’re waiting for interest rates to drop even more, here’s the good, bad, and downright ugly about that 👇

The Good:
Sure, a slight dip in interest rates could lower your monthly mortgage payment.

The Bad:
As rates go down, realize you’re not the only one who has been waiting for this to happen. Other Columbia buyers will begin flooding the market, which means more competition (think back to the days when we had multiple offers, resulting in homes selling for way over list price).

The Ugly:
Buyers that have decided to "wait out the market" are missing out on a great opportunity. With the current limited buyer pool, sellers are more willing to negotiate - thus giving buyers some power. And homebuyers need to remember there's always an option to potentially refinance!

Bottom line: waiting now could actually cost you more later.

Call or text me and let's talk through what would be the best option for you: (573) 808-5558.

Time for a history lesson. Anytime someone uses the phrase "plain vanilla," as if it somehow means boring or unoriginal, I kind of laugh to myself. Apparently, most don't know the real history of vanilla.

For starters, it's the second most expensive spice in the world ( #1 is saffron). Vanilla is the only edible fruit out of 35,000 species of orchid. Frankly, it's a statistical miracle. It requires a special tropical climate to grow, and each flower blooms for, wait for it... one day.

Pound for pound, vanilla seeds are worth more than silver.

Historically, only kings could afford such a rare delicacy as vanilla.

Not to mention the invention of ice cream itself, which would have required sending an expedition to the mountains to bring back ice during a hot summer. And yet here I am, casually enjoying this frozen dessert flavored with one of the most miraculous spices in the world. 🍦

You may call it "plain vanilla." I call it a miracle.

Modern life is pretty amazing if you have an attitude of gratitude. 🙂

- Kelsey

P.S. Is there anything better than an ice cream cone from Randy's Frozen Custard? Rhetorical question... no, there's not.
