🎄 Why Holiday Emergency Plans Matter

The holiday season means more guests, more celebrations—and more room for the unexpected. ❄️ From power outages to snowstorms, having a solid emergency plan not only protects your rental but provides peace of mind in stressful situations. After all, hospitality isn’t just about comfort—it’s about safety too.

📋 What to Include in Your Holiday Emergency Plan

🔔 1. Clear Contact Information
List local emergency numbers, your direct contact info, and a backup means of communication if internet or power is lost.

❄️ 2. Weather Readiness
Equip your rental with essentials like extra blankets, flashlights, candles, and a weather radio. It shows you care—even in the coldest conditions!

🚪 3. Evacuation Safety
Create a visual guide with exit routes and assembly points. Especially valuable for groups or unfamiliar guests staying during peak seasons.

💡 4. Power & Utility Tips
Include easy-to-follow instructions for handling water, heat, or electrical issues. A laminated quick-guide can be a lifesaver.

📞 Ensure Communication During Outages

In case of power or network failure, communication is critical. Provide guests with a list of nearby locations with reliable Wi-Fi, such as coffee shops or community centers. Including a prepaid phone or spare portable Wi-Fi hotspot in case of emergency could be a thoughtful, life-saving touch. 📱✨

🧰 Bonus: Holiday Survival Kit

Consider offering a “Holiday Survival Kit” stocked with items like:

• 🎁 Festive snacks

• 📱 Backup phone chargers

• 🧨 First aid essentials

• ☃️ Local weather alerts and nearby open services

This thoughtful gesture can turn an emergency into an opportunity to impress—and earn a glowing review.

In the world of short-term rentals, safety is the new luxury. Protect your guests and your peace of mind by preparing for the unexpected this holiday season. A well-planned emergency guide could be the best gift you give your guests this year. 🎅

💸Mortgage Rate Watch – November 24th, 2025

Current Mortgage Rates (as of November 24, 2025):

• 30-Year Fixed: 6.32% (–0.02%)

• 15-Year Fixed: 5.80% (–0.02%)

• 30-Year Jumbo: 6.41% (–0.01%)

• 30-Year FHA: 5.91% (–0.03%)

• 30-Year VA: 5.93% (–0.02%)

• 7/6 SOFR ARM: 5.88% (–0.04%)

Market Overview: Rates nudged slightly lower today, with the 30-year fixed rate now at 6.32%. The mortgage market remains in a relatively stable zone, reflecting steady Treasury yields and limited new economic disruptions.

Rate Trends & Forecast:

• Short-Term: Expect rates to hover in a narrow band unless there’s a major economic release or bond-market move.

• Long-Term: Continued moderation in inflation and a fall in long-term yields could gradually ease rates further—though large drops remain unlikely without a significant shift in the economic or policy outlook.
