Welcome to our 38th edition of Velasco Chronicle & Buzz.
As the ninth month of the year, September marks the beginning of autumn in the northern hemisphere (and the start of spring in the southern). Traditionally considered the month that marks transitions between seasons, it is often one of the most temperate weather-wise. The name September comes from the Latin Septem, meaning seven, since it was the seventh month of the Roman calendar, which began with March. There are 30 days in the month of September, which starts on the same day of the week as December each year but does not end on the same day of the week as any other month in the year.
September has three birth flowers: the forget-me-not, the morning glory, and the aster. Forget-me-nots represent love and memories, asters represent love as well, and the morning glory represents unrequited love. September only has one birthstone though, but with a stone like this, who needs another? The stone I’m talking about is the majestically vivid sapphire. With its deep blue tones, this precious stone is said to represent the wisdom of the gods, purity, and trust. Sapphires were once worn to protect the wearer from both poisoning and other evils.
Labor Day 2022 will occur on Monday, September 5. Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers and is traditionally observed on the first Monday in September. It was created by the labor movement in the late 19th century and became a federal holiday in 1894. Labor Day weekend also symbolizes the end of summer for many, and is celebrated with parties, street parades and athletic events.
September is a bit of a funny month when you think about it. The middle of the year has passed already, but it’s too soon to start thinking about Christmas.
All you have to think about is going back to school.
For some, it’s an exciting time to see all of their friends again after a long summer break, but for others, it’s the worst thing they could possibly imagine!

Family, life, work, and health all need balance and routine, and September is a great time to start, re-start, or kick-start. As summer fades the mornings start to cool and evenings darken, and I look forward to all autumn will bring. It is an exciting time of year. From childhood, we associate September with a new school year and a fresh start.

A Bel-Air mansion built for the late basketball Hall of Famer Wilt Chamberlain in 1971 has relisted for $11.995 million.
The house initially hit the market in 2018 for $18.999 million and underwent a few price drops, including $14.9 million and $13.7 million, before settling at its current ask in late September.
Designed by architect David Tenneson Rich, the custom build — once called “Ursa Major” like the constellation with the pattern of stars known as the Big Dipper, one of Chamberlain’s nicknames — spans 9,395 square feet. It has five bedrooms and eight bathrooms and sits secluded on a 2.5-acre cul-de-sac lot with a large wraparound swimming pool.

House Sales Price Changes Over 30+ Years

Financial and real estate markets have run in cycles for at least hundreds of years. Though varying in their details, causes, and effects, there are many similarities in how they plan out, providing greater context to how markets work over time.
Many economic, political, demographic, and environmental factors play roles in real estate markets, including interest rates, inflation, financial markets, new wealth creation or destruction, housing affordability, employment demographic shifts, governmental economic interventions, national and international crisis, financial product engineering and manipulation, runaway speculation, regulation and risk management, tax law, debt, natural disasters, and as we have recently seen, even pandemic.
