The Flower Patch - U Pick Flowers

Missy Dodson and her husband, Mark, have lots of fresh cut flowers that need to be enjoyed during the month of August. Missy is offering a FREE bouquet to all Gladeville Elementary and Gladeville Middle School teachers (since it’s so close to her farm, located at 3880 Couchville Pike). And since Mark is a retired Military veteran, they are also providing free bouquets to anyone with a Military ID! Don’t you just love this community? Be sure to share this with your Gladeville teacher friends and military veterans! The farm is also available for picking to the public, just at a cost. Check out their hours and availability here.

🐝MJ Weekly Poll🐝

🐝MJ Real Estate Update🐝 

Buckle up, folks—things might get a little bumpy. Mortgage rates have recently dropped to their lowest levels of 2024, marking the lowest since April 2023. With market uncertainty, we might see more investments shift toward bonds, potentially leading to further rate improvements. Predictions about future Fed rate cuts are all over the place, highlighting the market's unpredictability. However, some traders believe a rate cut could come sooner than expected, given the current economic data and volatility. And remember, it's an election year, so anything can happen.

If you have any more questions about the market here in Mt. Juliet or anywhere else in Middle TN, please feel free to reach out. I would love the chance to grab a coffee and the opportunity to earn your business.
