There is a place just off the coast of South Carolina. A place where warm ocean currents touch soft white sand. Where marsh grasses line championship golf courses. A place where wildlife is still very much wild. Yet civilization is very civil. A perfect blend of unspoiled land and amenities to spoil anyone who happens to visit here. A place where the hectic pace of life takes a backseat to the relaxed pace of actual living. This place is an individual place. Where those who visit leave an indelible mark. And have an indelible mark left on them. They return year after year. To re-live memories of family and friends. And create new ones.

Take a look at the 30-year-fixed-rate mortgage rate chart shown below... seems to me that, historically, rates have always been described as "fantastic" whenever thy have been below 7%! Mortgage bonds have been on a rally as of late, keeping interest rates lower. Will buyers take advantage of this trend and thus increase real estate sales?
