The Fed Announces Rates Will Hold Steady
The Federal Funds Rate is staying the same at 0 to .25%.
The Fed’s interest rate decision doesn’t directly affect mortgage rates, but today’s rates remain historically low.
Home owners and home buyers can take advantage of today’s low rates by:
- Buying a new home
- Refinancing to get a lower rate or eliminate mortgage insurance
- Financing home renovations
- Funding major expenses (like college tuition)
- Consolidating debt*

Don’t hesitate to reach out for a conversation about home financing.
* Debt consolidation does not pay off the debt, please consult a financial advisor regarding the effect of consolidating short term debt into long-term debt.

Colorado Springs Woman Creates Sharing Fence to Help Those in Need

A neighbor in Downtown Colorado Springs finds a way to help others stay warm and positive this winter by creating a sharing fence on her front yard fence.
Cyndi Long moved back to Colorado Springs right as the pandemic was starting to hit Colorado and soon noticed quite a few homeless people walking around her neighborhood and wanted to help.
“I had a number of hats and gloves and those kinds of things that you collect that never quite fit right. So, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to put them to some good use,” Long said. “So, I created a sharing fence with the intent that if you needed it, take it. If you had something to spare, please leave it.”
