Occasionally, because Bedico Creek Preserve is such a popular neighborhood on the northshore of Lake Pontchartrain in New Orleans, Louisiana, we will have newspaper, magazine, and online articles and blogs written about our master-planned community. We feature these articles in our Press Room area. Also, we sometimes create press releases for special news and events that are happening at Bedico Creek Preserve. You can find all of this information, plus make media inquiries all right here in our Press Room.
Freddie Mac reported several weeks of record low rates with the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate dipping to 3.03%. This is the lowest point in the history of the survey that began in 1971.
This is a huge advantage for potential homebuyers. The rates are super low and homes are very affordable. Many potential homebuyers can afford much more home than they could have this time last year.
“The summer is heating up as record-low mortgage rates continue to spur homebuyer demand,” said Sam Khater, Chief Economist at Freddie Mac.
This summer is hot in the housing market. According to realtor.com buyers are flooding the market. The monthly traffic is at an all-time high of 86 million unique users reported in June. Daily traffic also hit a high at 7 million unique users reported on June 25. Cleary buyers are ready to purchase a home even with the COVID-19 pandemic.
As mentioned earlier, buyers are able to afford more home 
with such low rates. As shown in the chart “the average monthly payment decreases significantly when rates are as low as they are today.”
Lower monthly mortgage payments allow homeowners to add up huge savings over the life of a home loan. Homebuyers can purchase a much bigger home in a more desirable location. Many homeowners are moving away from the cities and choosing suburban life among the COVID-19 crisis.
This is the perfect time for a potential homebuyer to purchase a home. A Realtor can help with the purchase of a new home while the rates are historically low.

St. Tammany parish students will get to have an extended summer due to the coronavirus. School will start after Labor Day this year because of the surge in coronavirus cases. Unfortunately, this also means there will be fewer holiday breaks.
The 40,000 students starting back to St. Tammany schools will have a staggered schedule. A quarter of the students will attend each day for the first day of school. The students will be divided alphabetically and the first day will be from September 8th to September 11th. This will give the students an opportunity to become familiar with all of the requirements due to the coronavirus. Teachers will report August 31st and will have professional development through September 3rd.
September 14th all students will attend regular classes. Before entering the school, the students will be screened and have their temperature checked. All students third grade and above will be required to wear a mask.
Pre-K through 5th grade will attend classes every day while students in grades 6-12 will go to school two days a week and every other Friday. For the other days, they will work remotely.
With the delay, there are many changes to the 20-21 school calendar. Thanksgiving break will be three days instead of a week and Christmas break will be two and a half days less. There will be no Mardi-Gras break and spring break will only be three days this year.
Parents and teachers both have mixed emotions on the change, but most would rather be safe than sorry. “I’m not comfortable with him being in a classroom yet,” parent Sarah Schultz said. “The delay allows me to have another month to determine how we feel.”
