6 Homes Closed in July

Lora Knows...

Behind every closing was a buyer or seller who trusted me to help them get there. That’s the part that means the most. 

From Hickory and Catawba County to communities across the NC Foothills, I absolutely love what I do.  Whether I’m helping someone buy their first home, relocate to North Carolina, sell a longtime home, or simply figure out what comes next, I’m grateful to be the Realtor® they call.

I’m celebrating SIX!  And sending a HUGE thank you to my clients for trusting me with their homes, their plans, and some pretty big decisions.

The Fall Issue of “Good to Be Home” is here!

Lora Knows...

Fall is one of my favorite times to enjoy home a little more — cooler days, cozy evenings, good food and maybe even tackling a few of those things around the house we’ve been ignoring. 

This issue is packed with a little bit of everything:

Helpful tips for pet owners
Home updates + seasonal decorating inspiration
Creamy Lemon Garlic Chicken with Gnocchi
Pumpkin Pie Chia Pudding
Seasonal home maintenance tips
And plenty of ideas for simply enjoying HOME!

Want your own FREE copy of Good to Be Home? Send me a message and I’ll get you added to my complimentary magazine list! 

And of course, when you need more than home inspiration, I’m here for that too. I’m Lora Rousseau, and I love helping buyers and sellers throughout Hickory, NC, Catawba County and the surrounding North Carolina Foothills with buying, selling, and relocating.

Because around here… Lora Knows Home. 

Warmly,
Lora

Mortgage Rates Are Holding Steady!

Lora Knows...

After five weeks of increases, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate is holding at 6.67% this week.

For buyers in Hickory, NC and the Catawba County area, steady rates combined with more homes on the market may create something we haven’t seen as much of in recent years — more choices, less competition, and more room to negotiate. 🙌

If you’ve been thinking about buying a home in the Hickory, NC area, this is a good time to know your numbers, understand the local market, and be ready when the right home comes along.

I’m always happy to talk real estate and help you figure out whether now makes sense for you. 💗🏠

Warmly,
Lora
