Did you attend the Conservatory Green Egg Hunt last weekend? Did you get to check out Beeler Perk Coffee? If you received a coupon for a free coffee, don’t forget to redeem it before the end of the month! Check their hours and location here.
We’ve been getting a lot of questions about interest rates over the last few weeks. With rates rising, we strongly urge all buyers to reach out to their lenders and discuss current rates and how it affects their home search. Lock and shop options from lenders allow you to know, and “lock”, your interest rate for a few months. This allows you to continue shopping for your future home without worrying about rising rates. Looking for a great lender? Feel free to reach out to any of our agents to get a warm intro to several fantastic lenders!

5987 Boston St
This David Weekley paired home in Beeler Park is listed by Joe Phillips with Focus Real Estate. This home is available for quick possession, which means as soon as you can close it’s all yours!

The living room and dining area are open to the large white kitchen that includes a massive island, shaker style white cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and custom lighting.

Disclaimer: Our Friday real estate updates are meant to be a “roundup” type post where we discuss all listings in Central Park, not just our own. It’s our way of making sure we follow the market closely and we share it with the Scoop readers because we know many of you like to track real estate in the area as well. Many of the listings in these posts are not our company’s listings and we wanted to mention that here to make sure it’s clear. Thanks for reading the Scoop!
