Fixed mortgage rates move lower for the second week in a row
For much of this year, mortgage rates had been steadily climbing higher, reaching levels not seen in more than a decade. But these past few weeks have offered a bit of a reprieve.
According to the latest data released Thursday by Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed-rate average dropped to its lowest level in five weeks, falling to 5.1 percent with an average 0.9 point. (A point is a fee paid to a lender equal to 1 percent of the loan amount. It is in addition to the interest rate.) It was 5.25 percent a week ago and 2.95 percent a year ago.

Sellers Have an Opportunity with Today’s Home Prices
As mortgage rates started to rise this year, many homeowners began to wonder if the value of their homes would fall. Here’s the good news. Historically, when mortgage rates rise by a percentage point or more, home values continue to appreciate. The latest data on home prices seems to confirm that trend.
According to data from CoreLogic, home price appreciation has been re-accelerating since November. This is largely due to an ongoing imbalance in supply and demand. Specifically, housing supply is still low, and demand is high.

Less Is More: Creating a Minimalist Living Room
Minimalist interior design translates to more than an uncluttered, sparsely decorated room. Birthed from modern design, minimalism embraces simplicity, reducing an interior to what’s necessary for the space to function well. But this clean, no-fuss style doesn’t need to feel uninviting. Balance and warmth are crucial to delivering the elevated beauty this style can create.

How to find the right handyman to tackle your to-do list
There are likely several things around your place that need to be repaired, but often, you don’t have the skills, tools or time to keep your home from falling apart.
Enter the handyman service. Hire one and you can turn over your home’s to-do list to an expert. When you contact a handyman service, the more details you provide the better. Keep in mind that workers often have strong backgrounds in some areas — say, carpentry — and know enough to do small jobs related to other trades.
But nonprofit Washington Consumers’ Checkbook receives a lot of complaints about handyman services. Through special arrangement with The Washington Post, you can access Checkbook’s ratings of local handyman services for quality and price free of charge until June 20 via: Checkbook.org/WashingtonPost/Handyman.
