Have you wondered what Mardi Gras means? Well it literally is French for Fat Tuesday.

I was at John Wayne Airport May 4th last year and overheard one businessman asking the other “so when is Cinco de Mayo anyway”..

Sometimes what we are looking for is right in front of us. There is so much focus on the pending recession, earthquakes, layoffs, Murder Bees (ok that was a few years ago), but the point is there.

I am not seeing a slowdown in purchases. In fact we are seeing the opposite. Multiple offers and typically at or above list price. The unemployment rate is historically low and Spring is right around the corner.

Rates are what they are. We need to play the cards we are dealt and don’t throw away the aces.

Have a great week and always here to help.
