Happy Labor Day weekend! Despite leading up to the holiday, this week was a busy one in the residential real estate market.

• 30-year fixed-rate mortgages hit a 2014 low last week, landing at 4.1%
• Buying your first home? Here’s some great advice from the pros.

Got plans for the weekend? While you’re browsing the market, here are some great Labor Day activities happening outside of the city.

• Rye County Playland’s fireworks are happening Friday—and it’s always a great way to kick off a holiday weekend! 
• Over the weekend, Nassau County Museum of Art’s Family Sundays continue, complete with a fun, art-filled walk, tours of exhibitions and more
