We have been experiencing warmer than usual, weather for this time of year.  The weatherman tonight, reported that a cold front is coming on Thursday.  When we have those cold nights, the leaves will begin to turn more quickly.  Today, I noticed that it is just beginning.  Just a start to the beauty of the changing colors of our leaves. Notice the slight gold color starting on the middle tree.  Some areas have more color than others.  This location is in Glastonbury, Connecticut, near the eastern side of town, by Diamond Lake.

“Refinance in Glastonbury , Ct”   Last night I took a mortgage application to refinance a home in Glastonbury , Ct. The refinance accomplished three things for these clients. They had 27 years left on their existing mortgage with an existing rate of 5%. They also want to take some cash out to renovate two bathrooms.   Here is the net result of what we did for these folks. We put them into a 15 year mortgage, reducing the term by 12 years. They will receive cash at closing of $24,000. The new mortgage payment will be $224 per month higher and the net saving for interest is $115,600.   I love what I love for a living. I never get tired of impacting people’s lives.
