Anna Raymond was ready to make the switch from renting to owning a home last spring. But after five failed offers, she and her husband decided to take a step back from house hunting.

Then, in December, their real estate agent presented an offer too good to pass. A home in Longmont was up for sale, and the seller was willing to offer a 2-1 interest buydown rate.

The concession would lower the Raymonds’ 5.75% contract interest rate of 2% in the first year and 1% in the second year, so they’ll pay just 3.75% interest in the first year

Post Date 04/09/2024

PIERRE, SD (AP) — South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem has been appointed the lead prosecutor in the Senate impeachment trial of former Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg to fill the remainder of Ravnsborg’s term.

“Mark Vargo returns integrity, experience and stability to the
