Someone accused me of being middle class the other day and now I'm annoyed

👉I put a lot of work into trying to convince people that I have no class 🤣

🚪 Opening Doors for Middle-Class Renters

Draper Commons, a large multi-phase housing development in downtown Colorado Springs, is set to deliver nearly 500 new apartments aimed at bridging the gap between affordable and market-rate housing. Sumner House, the first phase, is already open with 95 units for residents earning 30–60% of the area median income (AMI), starting around $590 per month including utilities. Bristow House will follow this summer with 185 units for those earning 80–120% AMI, and Draper Commons at Lowell will add another 200 units in spring 2026.

Located within walking distance of major employers, the project hopes to reduce transportation costs and expand compact, walkable housing options in a city where zoning limits such developments. Final funding through Proposition 123 could allow Bristow House to break ground this fall. *Source

📉 Why Waiting for Lower Rates Could Backfire

Mortgage rates have plateaued between 6.75% and 6.9% for much of 2025 after peaking above 7% in January. The Federal Reserve is holding rates steady as it monitors inflation and the impact of tariffs, with only gradual relief expected—possibly two cuts by year’s end.

Experts say significant drops toward 6% are unlikely soon, so waiting to buy or refinance could mean missing smaller windows when rates briefly dip. For many, the best approach is to prepare financially and act when the right home or opportunity presents itself, rather than banking on big rate cuts. *Read Source
