hello hello hello hello Peeps and happy happy New Year’s to you 2024 baby we here at the pickle team Randall and I would like to wish you the happiest and warmest wishes for the upcoming year here’s to good stuff happening for all of us it’s supposed to be a good year 2024 is a lucky number if you add up in numerology it adds up to eight which is infinity good for love good for good luck so that’s what I’m betting on how about you leap year leap year plus leap year always an auspicious event correct keep the uh the Mercury retrograde thing yeah I don’t know I don’t know I’m not that well versed and all of that but we wanted to wish you the happiest of New Year’s you’re probably getting this a few weeks into the month of January yeah but we’re recording it near the front you know that’s right got to edit and all that takes a little time so all of this is uh you get it a few weeks after we actually film so here we are we want to talk about 20124 we’re super excited everyone was gloom and doom about 2023 it wasn’t bad folks not so much it was not bad at all yeah prices were very stable y uh we’re back to a buyer Market uh inventory was low but you we managed to find some good homes for our guys yep uh so brought in some new blood in the city lots of really nice people great year and no regrets they were glad they were scared of the interest rate but they made the jump anyway yeah they know that they can refinance so they didn’t let it hold them back and now they’re living the dream and our beautiful town of Prescot yep so it’s uh pretty exciting times yeah a lot of Gloom at the front of 2023 as every we recall we predicted that none of that would come to pass and it has not yep uh more gloom and doom for 2024 or what are people saying I don’t even know well they’re a little more encouraging because interest rates are dropping which is good yeah so we’re super excited about that so if you’re contemplating you know Now’s the Time our folks who did it in 2023 no regrets yeah don’t put your life on hold yeah grab that gold ring go for it yeah in terms of interest rates so um the expectation is that interest rates will go lower uh for 2024 what is low what is not low is two and a half okay yeah yeah I think that’s over those days are over and all indications are that uh us of a certain age tends to be people interested in presc it uh we’re not going to see that again U and the reason why we saw it is that we had lots of baby boomers who were not retired yet uh they were making lots of money and they were investing lots of money well that created a supply a very large supply of investment money and that drives down interest rates uh now most of the Baby Boomers are retired uh when they retire they stop investing so aggressively they get very conservative uh they start consuming money uh so those funds will no longer be there and that means Supply goes down that means your interest rates go up so I I would say you know you know a healthy economy is five or six uh with a few points of inflation and it looks like that’s exactly where we’re heading so that that’s actually really broad picture here that’s very healthy very healthy so uh if you’re waiting for two and a half then you’re gonna you’re not gonna make it don’t yeah don’t give up on life waiting for two and a half yeah move forward get out there make your move here our cost of living is amazing in presc your money will go much farther than you know some of the other places uh people are moving from California Washington Oregon you’ll be pleasantly surprised yes how far your dollar goes yes here in Arizona so we’ll have some other areas of the country that might suffer um so you’ll hear bad news about real estate Phoenix may be one of those areas um I don’t a few other other areas that got built up really fast uh with markets that are much more sensitive to interest rates um that won’t be presc uh presc is a relatively small town we are a very viable alternative to all of the uh retirement destinations that people talk about um so I I I just don’t see anything happening in presc for the foreseeable future we we’re just totally leveling off and holding strong holding strong holding strong plus we’ve got amazing weather Four Seasons uh you don’t have to worry about hurricanes you don’t have to worry about fires you don’t have to yeah well we can get a little baby little had a baby earthquake we had a baby earthquake supposed to have one every 50 years and it’s in Chino Valley which about 20 miles north of here yeah and I think it was a three or two and a half or something so I mean this is the time you want to try something new come to our town interest rates are starting to drop everything else is great here you might enjoy a new chapter right yeah don’t you think yeah I think so so we would love to help you with uh your search take you on a tour of our lovely town and uh show you what it’s all about for 2024 so we hope you
