London Bridge Beach Concert

The Lake Havasu City Symphony Orchestra performed in the park at London Bridge Beach. Their first concert on the newly erected stage that was built as a Leadership Project by the Chamber of Commerce this past winter.
A good sized crowd enjoyed the concert with warm temperatures and nice breeze. The Bridgewater Channel in the back of the “Concert Hall” with boats slowly cruising through.
The concert began after a military helicopter did a “flyby”. I’m sure it was not planned however appropriate.

Prices Holding Steady
I just read an article that said that home prices have held steady for the last 3 months in a row in the Southern California market. Many experts believe that this could mean that the housing decline in much of the Southwest US is at the bottom as far as values are concerned.
Lending is still very tight but for people with reasonably decent credit scores and some money down loans are getting done. You will have to be a patient because lenders are very cautious these days and are requiring quite a bit of documentation from everyone. On the good side, rates are in the mid 4% range for a 30 year fixed so it is a great time to buy a new home!!!! Happy Hunting!!!!
