Historically, lower mortgage rates have helped drive home sales and those looking to refinance the market.

While the summers in Jupiter are often sunny and hot creating the ideal environment for the boating community that it is, the fall is even better. For the next few months’ milder temps have replaced that sweltering summer heat giving those of us who worship boat life the perfect setting for a dinner or drinks on the water. High 70’s during the day and even cooler in the evening is the kind of weather that makes locals and seasonal residents say “goodbye” to cars and “hello” to boats for transportation to one of the many local waterfront destinations to soak up this glorious weather.
