The Coconut Grove Art Festival takes place this weekend.  In addition to seeing some fun, different art, it is a great time to stroll the streets, taste food, and bump into friends.

I love this year’s poster!

How Rising Mortgage Rates Affect Your Buying Power

This table from the KCM post “The Cost of Waiting for Prices to Fall” is a great visual to update my post from yesterday regarding mortgage rates hitting the 5% mark

Mortgage Rates Hit 5%

Mortgage rates are inching up, currently hovering around 5%.  According to a CNNmoney.com report, interest rates at 5% don’t affect home buyers.  While 5% is still low,  and would only add slightly to a monthly mortgage, a continued increase in rates will affect the amount of home a buyer can purchase.
