■ Warm, Dry & Fire Season Is Here
It’s warm, it’s dry, and unfortunately fires are burning in many areas across Oregon.
This is the time of year when we all need to be extra careful. A small spark can quickly become
something much bigger when vegetation is dry.
• Be careful with outdoor equipment that can create sparks
• Make sure trailer chains aren’t dragging
• Follow local fire restrictions
• Keep dry grass and debris cleared away from your home
• Have an evacuation plan and know what you would take if you needed to leave quickly
And most importantly, a heartfelt thank you to our firefighters, first responders and everyone
working to protect our Oregon communities. ❤■
Please stay safe and look out for one another.

Latest national mortgage rate snapshot: 30-Year Fixed: 6.58% 15-Year Fixed: 5.96%

Mortgage rates have moved up a bit, but that doesn’t mean buyers should automatically put their plans on hold.

Every buyer’s situation is different, and the rate you’re offered depends on factors such as credit, down payment, loan program, and lender. Shopping around and having a good lending team can make a difference. If you’re thinking about buying or selling in Southern Oregon, I’m always happy to help you look at the bigger picture and decide what makes sense for you.

Living in Southern Oregon means enjoying beautiful summers—but it also means staying prepared during fire season. • Trim dry grass and brush around your home. • Clean leaves and pine needles from your roof and gutters. • Keep tree branches away from your roof and chimney. • Make sure your address is clearly visible from the street. • Have an emergency evacuation plan for your family and pets. A few minutes of preparation today can make a big difference tomorrow. Stay safe, and if you have questions about preparing your home before buying or selling, I’m always happy to help.

• Sellers who prepare their homes well and price them strategically are seeing the best results.
