As we head into 2023, the economy and the housing market are high on the list of worries for many homeowners. Unfortunately, housing sales have fallen for the ninth consecutive month, with transactions down 28.4% compared to last year. Nationwide, prices have also come down, with the average home price down to $379,100 compared to $413,800 in June.

It's hard to believe, but Thanksgiving is just around the corner. As we move into the Holiday season, we enter one of our favorite times of the year here at Nuvision – A time to honor our Veterans and a time to give back to our members and the communities we serve.

Veteran Ernie Delgado spent four years serving in the thick of Vietnam’s jungles as an infantry Marine. He fought courageously and carried the burden of leading his squad. Now, he’s a husband, grandfather, and member of the American Legion, where he and other veterans who share similar experiences connect and serve the community. “Never forget how you got your freedom, and how it’s maintained, and how it’s protected,” he said. “Someone’s got to pay for it.”

Vietnam veteran Frank Passarelli grew up with five Navy veterans in the family, his uncles, who had all served during World War II. During his own time in the Navy, he worked as a radioman on an assault troop carrier, facing constant danger and once surviving a deadly attack. Today, he continues to serve his fellow veterans and help civilians remember the cost of freedom through his role as Second Vice Commander at American Legion Huntington Beach Post 133.
