Housing is at its most affordable level in decades. Mortgage rates remain low, sellers are motivated, owning a home is a great investment, and can lead to many years of happy memories. Current market conditions won’t last long. Research shows that prices are beginning to stabilize and price declines are over. Shrinking inventory and increasing home values make now an excellent time to buy a home. Attend the Home Buyers Fair to help you achieve the American dream and to learn about products and services to enhance your home. The Home Buyers Fair is a FREE, bilingual educational event for consumers at all income levels interested in the home buying process. Informative mini sessions can help determine if you’re ready to buy a home, invest, or sell your existing home. Responding personally to climate change Sarah Stendig Wood will be offering a presentation at St Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church in Pittsboro on Wednesday February 5 at 7 p.m. called “Climate Change — A World Perspective and a Personal Response.” It is open to the public. Come and learn more about how you can be part of the solution.
