September 2024 Update Jess Watts
September 2024 in Westchester
We ended summer with a bang this past weekend with our Yoga in the Garden party. It was truly special- and a huge thanks to all that came out, and the venders who participated! If you missed it, please save the date for our next event. I even have a broadcasting channel on IG now— yay!! So I will be sending out event info in that as well.
September is going to be a busy one, so stay tuned!!
Since summer was the season of towels— truly, between the pool and camp, it has been on my mind a lot. I am thankful for my Blueland
washing machine tablets. Zero plastic (they ship in compostable bags), and honestly, they work INCREDIBLY well. This is not sponsored by the way… but I do have 4 dogs, a messy little one, and a Tennis Pro husband. We don’t take it easy on clothes— and they seriously work great. Also, saying goodbye to plastic is a huge win!
In amazing real estate news… the Fed announced that rates would start inching back down. While that is going to start helping low inventory levels, it will also bring a lot more buyers to the party. So expect highest and best to still be a thing… and if you love the house, you’ll need to expect to spend well over asking.
I am excited to announce an incredible panel discussion on women’s health; Sept 16 at Conant Hall in Pound Ridge. Purchase tickets here.
September 19, I will be dancing the night away at Maple Grove Farm for Westchester Land Trust’s Reggae in the Barn. If you know me, you know I love all the work they do!! We are talking food for those in need, clean water, and land protection. Plus, Andrew Tow will be there with his incredible wine— Withers Wine. It can’t be missed. Buy Tickets and come dance!
In addition, I am on the Host Committee for The POP Party at The Aldrich in Ridgefield, CT. Inspired by Andy Warhol, this event will help raise funds for the new Sculpture Garden and other projects. The Aldrich is a beautifully curated art museum at our fingertips. Purchase Tickets for Sept 28!
See you soon!
Selling your home isn't simply a financial transaction—it's the closing of one chapter and the beginning of another. Having navigated this path myself and guided countless Westchester families through their own home-selling journeys, I've witnessed firsthand the complex tapestry of emotions that emerge when you decide it's time to move on.
When house-hunting, families often focus on bedroom count, kitchen size, and school districts—but the humble backyard deserves equal consideration. After decades in real estate, I've developed what I call "the soccer ball test" to help families find their ideal outdoor space.
As we celebrate our beautiful planet today, I wanted to share some simple yet meaningful ways we can all connect with nature while treading lightly on the earth. These small sustainable outings don't require extensive planning or resources, but they can make a real difference—both for the environment and for your own wellbeing.
