Well, October has been busy so far... Between working, and campaigning, we managed to squeak in a new addition to the ever growing Henderson family. Anthony and Jessica Belmonte introduced Francesca Anne Belmonte to her very proud Grandparents (Kelly & I) Saturday night. She was 8 lbs. and an ounce, and 20.5 inches long... she has the thickest head of dark hair I've ever seen on a baby related to the Hendersons. Pretty sure that comes from the Belmonte side of the family. She's adorable, and a nice balance to the group of grandkids... Bella needs the help with all these boys tearing it up around here.
Bella started kindergarten this year, where does the time go? She's all grown up, now if we could just get her brothers to be so mature :0)

I'm busy these days on the campaign trail, the election is just barely a month away... don't forget to vote, and tell your friends you know me...
The Ligers 2011 fall softball team finished their season with a 10-0 record, not too shabby from a group of guys managed by a 50 year old. Theres plenty of time to retire in the coming years, but for now... Ligers rule :0)
Dave junior came over last week to borrow a motorcycle for a quick trip. It took over a half hour to get them started between dead batteries and low tire pressure... I hope next summer we can get a little more ride time in. You know it's been a bad riding season when none of your stuff works and you don't even notice it...
Real Estate has been on an uptick the last few weeks as well. The most recent report indicates that values are up over last year by about 1.2%. Nothing to get too excited about, but in comparison to the 15% declines we've seen in the last few years... that's a huge improvement. I've had a couple short sales approved this summer... they still take a lot of time, but at least they're getting done. I'm currently working with 3 buyers that should be able to put sales together this fall.
Interest rates for a 30 year fixed are teetering around that 3.8% mark... but you still have to jump through hoops to get those rates. That said, even the rates you and I can get are still extremely favorable, and there is a good supply of decent homes on the market.
With values either at bottom or starting to inch up... the perfect storm of buyer power is right now. Call me, and we can start to look.
We appreciate your support and referrals as always, keep them coming.
Dave & Kelly
