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!

You can scroll through every listing in Katonah from your couch tonight. You can see the square footage, the acreage, the stone walls, and the kitchen renovation from 2019.

If I were moving to Northern Westchester today, I wouldn't start with a home tour. I'd start with a weekend.
