2026 Kicks Off with Lower Rates and New Opportunities

Wanted to pop on with some great news… For the first time in THREE YEARS, Interest rates are now under 6%!! The Fed is signaling we will see another series of drops this year. My hope is- eventually- we will be closer to 5% at some point. Fingers crossed it’s soon.

What does that mean? Well, it means that there will be a lot more buyers come into the market. It may also start motivating sellers who are ready to upsize or downsize. Regardless of buying or selling, a plan is important. I have been honored to meet with so many of you (and your friends… thanks for those referrals) on your real estate goals. I can’t wait to see how they pay off!

If you are thinking of re-financing… I would wait a little longer. Your time is coming soon though, so start prepping!

I am kicking this year off with a bang- and on the host committee for an incredible event from Lifeway Network and Bedford Books. Please see information below and all the great work they are doing! I am bringing the husband AND staying for the afterparty. Join in on the fun here!

Timing matters. But so does presentation. And in Westchester's real estate market, you really can't afford to get either one wrong.

I've had a lot of conversations with buyers over the years, and there's a pattern I see almost every time. They find a house they love. Beautiful kitchen, great yard, perfect layout. They can already picture their furniture in it.

There's a quiet truth nobody talks about enough: making friends after 40 is hard. Not impossible — just hard. Life gets full. Schedules get tight. And somewhere between school pickups, work deadlines, and keeping up with everything else, building new friendships quietly falls off the list.
