Here we go again. As we approach April 15th the phone and email scammers are out in force. With visions of tax rebates on our mind and daily lives filled to the brim with activity a seemingly innocent, official looking email purported to be from the IRS begs a quick response. Lo and behold the link you click allows the scammer access to your computer and personal financial information.

A reminder that any email that asks you for your Social Security Number, Bank Account Number or other personal information is to be treated with a high level of suspicion.

In the last 2 weeks we sold 4 houses with a total of 6 offers. What’s going on with Bend’s real estate market? There is a foot of snow on the ground, and in some places even more? I think that the interest rate reduction has really started to nudge people to get off the fence and make a decision. The fed has said that they will not keep rates low for long due to the threat of inflation. Therefore, the window of opportunity to buy with these low interest rates may be small.

In hope of thwarting a recession, the Federal Reserve took strong steps in the last 2 weeks: a 0.75% emergency interest-rate cut followed by another 0.5%, bringing its target short-term rate down to 3.0%. For mortgage holders, this is mixed news. On one side, the drop in rates will ease some homeowners’ mortgage pain. But it will also reduce savings rates. Here’s what to expect:
