A reminder to everyone to stop by the Kutzky Park this weekend July 10, 11, 12 and watch the Rochester Open Tennius Tournament! I'm sponsoring the event and have arranged a concession stand to be there all weekend. We'll have burgers, bagels, gatorade, turkey etc. Come enjoy some great tennis and teh fun Kutky Park play area.
See you there!
The market in Rochester has steadily grown over the past few months. With new Mayo Clinic residents and PhD candidates arriving in June, homes sales in the first time buyer range have dramatically increased. It is also a benefit having the first time buyer tax credit of up to $8000. Buyers should also be aware that they may file an addendum to the IRS and still may be able to get the tax credit event though taxes have been filed for the year. As always, consult your accountant first.

Interest rates continue to remain steady at an all-time low. Credit scores are crucial to getting the best possible rate. it is always a bonus to have a significant cash down payment as well. Fiscal responsibilty is key.
