            Memorial Day Services in Ormond Beach  Rockefeller Gardens – a beautiful riverfront park in front of the Casements, the winter home of John Rockefeller, was a place to hold Memorial Day services today. It started at 9 AM. Started with the parade, it also included a band concert, a guest speaker, retired colonel who served in Vietnam, and a gun salute. Among the speakers was the mayor of Ormond Beach. It was a perfect day, warm but not summer hot. The grounds were full of residents who came to honor the fallen heroes. Here are a few photos:

Still on the fence?  Time to get off it!  Now is the time to buy!  Not in the past 20 years has housing affordability been better than it is now.  The combination of historically low interest rates, a large inventory of homes to choose from and affordable home prices makes this the market to jump in to. As it currently stands, prices for homes and rates are still low, and are only expected to rise. Those of you that have been waiting will already be paying more.  Effective April 18, for those planning to use FHA financing to buy a home, Annual Insurance Premiums have increased by .25%. That means a loan at $250,000 just increased by $52.08 per month.  Couple that with the fact that we are indeed seeing pricing increases in many areas, many buyers could be paying more than if they hadn't...
