Those rates were historic. The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate fell below 3 percent in 2020 and 2021, a level that has only occurred briefly in United States history and has since more than doubled, with rates hovering in the low to mid-6 percent range through late 2025.

Materials, color key to fresh new designs

Telling a refined design narrative is possible for any homeowner willing to be intentional. Luxurious interiors never feel thrown together because, when well-executed, the environment results from the deliberate use of cohesive design principles and attention to personal details. Rooms have a sense of balance, harmony and, most of all, personality. The best part is that this approach does not have to cost a fortune.

Home that hasn’t sold in two years must be overpriced

It’s the homeowners who are in control. You didn’t say anything about them. They may be elderly with emotional ties that make it difficult to view the property impartially.

However, a man in Long Beach, California, who flew a massive 30-foot-by-60-foot flag on a 132-foot pole over his residence, was able to successfully fight off several complaining neighbors in court. In those two cases, as you might suspect, the flag owners accused the complainants of being un-American.
