As we get ready to celebrate the Fourth of July, I’m reminded that home is where so
many of our favorite memories are made—backyard barbecues, family gatherings,
fireworks, and time spent with friends and neighbors.
Whether you’re staying close to home or heading out for the holiday, I hope you have a
safe, fun, and relaxing weekend.
A few quick holiday reminders:
• Follow local fireworks safety guidelines.
• Keep an eye on grills and outdoor fire hazards.
• Stay hydrated, especially with the warm weather.
• Don’t forget your pets—many become anxious during fireworks.
Wishing everyone in Southern Oregon a wonderful Independence Day filled with
gratitude, laughter, and great memories.
Happy Fourth of July!

Living in Southern Oregon reminds us how important our wildland firefighters are. Their courage,
dedication, and long hours help protect our homes, our communities, and the places we love.
Today, let’s take a moment to thank the men and women who put themselves in harm’s way to
keep us safe.
As homeowners, it’s also a good reminder to:
• Keep brush and dry vegetation trimmed back.
• Create defensible space around your home.
• Review your family’s emergency preparedness plan.
A little preparation today can make a big difference tomorrow.
Thank you to all our wildland firefighters for your incredible service!

http://For years, Jim Belushi has hosted comedy nights to ensure the Mill remains a vibrant gathering place for Southern Oregon. Every magical evening, with every ticket purchased, helps us preserve our history—from our 1872 roots to our future commercial kitchen—keeping this local treasure operating for generations to come.

Today’s Market Tip: Don’t Let Headlines Make Your Home Buying
or Selling Decision
National real estate news doesn’t always reflect what’s happening here in Southern Oregon. Our
local market continues to see motivated buyers, especially for homes that are priced well,
presented beautifully, and marketed effectively. While some homes sell quickly, others take a little
longer depending on price, condition, and location.
Whether you’re buying your first home, moving up, downsizing, or relocating, understanding our
local market is much more valuable than relying on national headlines. Every home—and every
situation—is different.
