🏡 Then & Now Tuesday with Judi

Today we're taking a look back at a wonderful piece of Des Plaines history — the Kinder House!

In 1968, the historic Kinder House was moved just a few blocks to its current location at the corner of Pearson Street and Prairie Avenue.

Beautifully restored, the Kinder House is now part of the Des Plaines History Center, helping preserve the history and stories of our community for future generations.

I love seeing how the homes and neighborhoods around us have changed through the years. ❤️

Mortgage rates ease to seven-week low as buyers return to market
Mortgage rates have just dipped to a seven-week low, with the 30-year fixed settling at 6.43% and the 15-year at 5.79%. This shift is already encouraging more buyers to re-enter the market, drawn by improved affordability, strong inventory levels, and a moderation in home-price growth. Navigating these market changes calls for experience and up-to-the-minute expertise—qualities I prioritize through my partnership with . Whether your goals are local or global, having a trusted advisor with a commitment to high standards and comprehensive market insight can make all the difference as opportunities evolve.

US Existing Home Sales Edge Up
Navigating the current real estate landscape requires both strategy and insight. Early-Q3 saw US existing-home sales dip 1.7% month-over-month, yet they still edged up 0.7% compared to last year—a subtle but encouraging sign that completed transactions are holding steady above last summer’s pace. The median price for existing homes reached $434,100, marking 37 consecutive months of yearly gains. For many homeowners, that means additional equity to keep an eye on. Inventory remains tight, closing the quarter at 1.54 million homes—down 1.9% from last month and 0.6% from a year ago—so buyers need to keep a close watch on new listings as opportunities arise. Despite higher prices, national housing affordability actually improved, opening doors for those ready to act when the right moment and property align. With 30-year fixed mortgage rates averaging in the high-6% range, even a small rate adjustment could help buyers step in with confidence as the summer market continues. As always, having the right market knowledge and professional support makes all the difference in achieving your real estate goals.
