I’ve been enjoying this weather; it’s reminiscent of Hawaii but a tad cooler.  The last measurable rainfall we received in the Ojai valley was .34 inches on 4/26/25, almost five months ago.  Hopefully this is a good start to the rainy season – last season we totaled only 9.59 inches.  Have a great weekend!

No new listings have come to the market since yesterday.  I hope you all have a great weekend; in the meantime here’s a quick check-in on mortgage rates.  They’ve gone down by .76% since May 19th, so the forecasts that predicted rates were going to drop seem to be accurate!

15-yr fixed:  5.70%

30-yr Jumbo:  6.25%

30-yr FHA:  5.97%

After going out to dinner last night, I stopped at the Chevron gas station in downtown Ojai to fill up.  I just thought this was a great scene to take a photo of, though I did note how empty the town seemed to be a 7:17 p.m!

No new listings have come to the market since Monday.  What is UP with the weather today?  High of 77 degrees, 68% humidity as I write this.  I’m not complaining, but this might be the most mild summer I’ve experienced here in 20 years.  (I’m sure I’ve jinxed it now.)
