2022 March Madness UPDATE!

The Average Homeowner Gained More Than $55K in Equity over the Past Year

If you’re a current homeowner, you should know your net worth just got a big boost. It comes in the form of rising home equity. Equity is the current value of your home minus what you owe on the loan. Today, you’re building that equity far faster than you may expect – and this gain is great news for you.

Did Your Dream Home Just Come on the Market?

For the first time in a long time, the number of newly listed homes is beginning to rise. In their latest monthly release, realtor.com reveals the number of existing homes entering the market has increased for two months in a row (this comes after six months of declines). Here’s a graph showing the monthly new listings going back to January of last year. The green bars indicate the first gains since June.

Recipe of the week!

Cheesy Cauliflower Breadsticks

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into 1-inch florets (about 6 cups)
• 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• Marinara sauce, optional

PREPARATION

1. Preheat oven to 425°. Process cauliflower in batches in a food processor until finely ground. Microwave, covered, in a microwave-safe bowl on high until tender, about 8 minutes. When cauliflower is cool enough to handle, wrap in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze dry. Return to bowl.
2. Meanwhile, in another bowl, mix cheeses together. Stir half cheese mixture into cauliflower; reserve remaining cheese mixture. Combine next 6 ingredients; stir into cauliflower.
3. On a baking sheet lined with parchment, shape cauliflower mixture into an 11×9-in. rectangle. Bake until edges are golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Top with reserved cheese; bake until melted and bubbly, 10-12 minutes. Cut into 12 breadsticks. If desired, serve with marinara sauce.
