The third rate cut in this year’s twilight hour, Yet mortgage rates climbed, a perplexing power. From 6.6% to 7.14%, the spike caused dismay, With buyers and sellers now keeping at bay. Freddie Mac noted the weekly ascent, While intraday rates surged past 7 percent.
The Fed’s dot plot showed a cautious refrain, Few rate cuts for 2025, much to our pain. Bond markets were spooked, by tariffs and more, Inflationary whispers knocking at the door. Yet hope still lingers, like a soft candle’s glow, For rates may recede as the new year will show.
Though rates climb high, and the market feels tight, A shift in migration now comes into sight. From boomtowns of Austin, Miami, and more, The frenzy has faded; it’s not like before.
Inventory’s scarce in the Northeast’s embrace, But Florida and Texas see a steadier pace. Migration slowed from the pandemic’s prime, Yet whispers of movement echo through time.
The Home Alone house, a Georgian delight, Sold just in time for a Christmas night. In Winnetka it stands, on a tree-lined street, A holiday icon, both stately and sweet.
With five cozy bedrooms and six lavish baths, It’s a dream for the holidays, a place for warm laughs. A sports court, two hot tubs, and fireplaces four, Luxury within, with movie charm at its core.
Kevin’s adventures made this house a star, Now a new family calls it home—how bizarre! –
