Holiday Check in From Real Estate Agent- Jess Watts
Hi Friend!
I wanted to check in since we are in the full swing of the Holidays.
Regardless of how you celebrate, I hope you consider shopping small, and integrating house plants into your design.
Plants are natural air purifiers, can absorb sound, and improve your mood! If you are feeling that stress, they can help keep you calm and ease the stress! Plants if done correctly, can also help you sell your home faster and for more money.
If it’s gifts that are adding to the stress, please shop local. Your purchase can change a small businesses trajectory. They will always notice and appreciate your purchase where the big box stores won’t.
The bonus? You will reduce your carbon footprint, AND increase your property value! Check out my socials for my favorite local shops based on what gifts you need!
Rates are staying steady, but we do expect to see a small shift down in Q1. If you are wanting to sell next year, the sooner you start talking to me the better! Planning correctly can help you get more for your money!
Enjoy all the glittering lights- I hope they boost your mood like they do mine.

PS- Let's get to know each other on my Youtube HERE.
As we shift seasons, we are starting to see the real estate market pickup again after a quiet August. I will get straight to the point- it is still a sellers market despite what the national news is saying. Westchester and Fairfield counties are still seeing inventory fly- especially at purchases under 1.2M.
I get this question all the time from new clients: "Jess, I'm moving to Westchester, but I'm worried about finding my people. How do I build community here?" My answer is always the same: You have to show up. Here's the beautiful thing about Westchester – this county practically rolls out the red carpet for connection.
Westchester County has one of the most active, welcoming communities in the Northeast. This isn't marketing speak or real estate hyperbole—it's a reality that thousands of families experience daily across towns from Bedford to White Plains, Scarsdale to Mount Kisco.
You know those picture-perfect neighborhoods you saw
