Claire Saffitz says,“ Here, a carnival caramel apple is stacked onto a buttery crust: The snap of fresh apple slices gives way to soft salted caramel and a melt-in-your-mouth cookie base. It’s put together as a pie with layers like a bar cookie for a look that’s impressive but simple to pull off.”

Buyers: talk with us about ways to achieve lower interest rates

There are ways to lower that interest rate, at least temporarily. One way that’s been used quite often lately is the 2-1 Buydown. We negotiate to get the Seller (or someone else) to pay for the buydown at closing which offers 2% off the interest rate for the first year of the loan and 1% for the second year.

Let Apothika Real Estate Consulting Group put you in contact with one of the fantastic local lenders we work with who can explain all the details of this type of mortgage agreement.
