Thanks to fellow Realtor Lenn Harley in Maryland for the historical mortgage rate information; you might find it a real eye opener. Interest rates may not be what they were a year ago, but they are certainly better than they were in the 1980s!  If you check this link you will see what I am talking about: http://www.homefinders.com/historical-interest-rates/ I will also keep the link available on my blog (see left hand column).

Thinking Outside the Box is the name of a Panel Discussion to be held at the City Club of Cleveland next week.  This is the last panel in a four part series on revitalizing Cleveland's housing strategy for it's neighborhoods.  What a timely topic!  One thing we could use is on-going, creative synergy on revitalizing the neighborhoods in our hometown! Have opinions on what you'd like to see happen? More greenspace? More affordable housing? More housing near public transportation?  Or would you just like to hear what others are thinking?

The City Club is one of Cleveland's treasures; a bastion of free speech and lunch meetings all year long that are sure to pique your interest. For more information, or to sign up to attend the lunch, go to the City Club website at http://www.cityclub.org
