Show Notes

On this episode of "Open House with Team Reba", we're discussing ways to keep your home and pets safe this holiday season with our special guest Gerald Grinter of Threshold Nosh and Dwell Home Insurance. We discuss ways in which you are protected with Home Insurance and what to keep in mind during the holiday season. 

Some quick things you can do right now to protect your pets; be sure to turn off your string lights at night, keep poinsettia plants away from the reach of cats, and keep chocolate candy/decorations away from the reach of dogs. 

At the start of the show, Eric discusses the mortgage market. Rates are still VERY good,  at 3.71%, 15 year fixed at 3.39% and FHA & VA 3.3%. Because of the holiday season, the bond market is considered "thinly traded", meaning there may be fluctuations in the market due to low volume, but it's usually pretty stable. Listen in to hear more!

Also, now is a great time to think about refinancing your home. You can even push your payments out to start in March, so that could give a bit of relief from holiday spending while saving you more money in the long run. Win-win!
