planned for this year, so development and construction continue to forge forward. The neighborhood is proving quite popular, and disciplined buyers can purchase in the mid to high $400Ks. There are a handful of other neighborhoods in Crozet in varying stages of approval and planning processes. Whether sales in any of them occur this year will remain to be seen. Buyers are asking for new construction homes in the sub$400k range. Hopefully one of the new neighborhoods will deliver on this. In the second half of the year sales should remain firm in Crozet, buoyed in large part by persistently low mortgage rates. With the dollar soaring with help from Britain’s recent “Brexit” vote, the Federal Reserve will be hard pressed to raise rates anytime soon. In fact, Kiplinger recently predicted 30 year mortgage rates would stay around 3.5% through 2017. What this means for the economy is anyone’s guess, but it sure is good for home buyers and owners needing to refinance if they haven’t yet. Renters should be paying attention to this as well, as according to the crew at KCM, rental rates are the highest they have been in a decade. As home buying has long been viewed as a way to enhance family stability and to form a foundation for wealth accumulation, renters should be taking a long look at all the benefits of home ownership, especially at the rent vs. own cost comparison.

temporarily after steroids. “So what you’re telling me is that you still don’t know what’s wrong with her?” Yep, I still don’t know what’s wrong with her, but I’m so glad we have made her better! Cases like Jessie’s are a daily occurrence in the world of vet medicine, but, fortunately, because of the power of critical thinking, we are often able to find an answer, or at least a way to make them feel better.
