America's Favorite Thanksgiving Pies. Thanksgiving wouldn't be complete without a delicious pie (or two!) to cap off the feast. We looked at America's favorite Thanksgiving pies, and - to no surprise - pumpkin is the winner! Pumpkin - 23%, Pecan - 14%, Apple - 12%. No other pie got more than 8%

Mortgage Insight A recent Fannie Mae survey found that nearly 90% of consumers overestimate or don’t know the minimum down payment needed to get a mortgage. Most respondents estimated 10% down as the minimum required by lenders, but the actual requirement is only 3% down for conventional loans. If you need help demystifying down payments and other mortgage info, please reach out to me!
