Several days of northeast winds held water in the back bays, resulting in minor tidal flooding in low lying intersections. Above is Avalon Bay Park Marina at the time of high tide Tuesday afternoon.
THANK YOU, SUMMER! With the summer season officially behind us, we recall fondly our beach days, sea breezes, boat rides, and the rest of our summer fun! Fortunately, there is still plenty of fun to be had. September has brought us beautiful weather and a lineup of weekend activities, and October will bring more of the same. Sure, it’ll be a little chillier, but put on that sweatshirt and head to the beach!
TIME TO CALL YOUR PLUMBER, landscaper, or pool company to schedule the shutoff and winterization of your outdoor water systems. Get on the schedule before the first frost threatens. As always, if you need a contractor recommendation please call or email me.
THE FEDERAL RESERVE reduced its target interest rate by a half point at their last meeting. Although mortgage rates are not directly tied to the fed’s rate, they’re related, and mortgage rates have drifted downward. Last week the average thirty-year fixed rate fell to 6.09% according to Freddie Mac.
GOOD NEWS FOR NEXT YEAR’S VACATION! Most rental rates are increasing by modest amounts compared to last year. Tenants, let me know if you’re ready to book your vacation; property owners, get your rates to me if you haven’t already!
