A major shift in Port Huron’s mortgage scene took place in April as Texas-based Supreme Lending officially acquired MiMutual Mortgage. The move strengthens Supreme’s footprint in Michigan while giving MiMutual’s local team access to more resources and support. MiMutual CEO Bruce Carr called it “a perfect marriage,” praising Supreme’s shared values of integrity and people-first leadership. Executive VP Greg Campbell said the choice wasn’t just about growth—it was about culture and trust. With MiMutual’s deep roots in Michigan, Supreme aims to build on that legacy and bring stronger service and innovation to the local mortgage market.

Gas prices in Michigan have dropped by 13 cents from last week, now averaging $3.08 per gallon for regular unleaded. This is 17 cents cheaper than last month and 48 cents less than last year. Filling a 15-gallon tank costs about $46, saving drivers roughly $11 compared to last July’s peak. Despite higher demand for gasoline, supplies have tightened slightly, while crude oil prices rose to $61.84 a barrel. With inventories below the five-year average, lower crude prices and falling demand could push gas prices even lower soon.
