Fresh Start: A Tale of Two Markets & Personal Growth
Growth • Fun • Community
Yes, you read that right - fun! It might seem surprising to prioritize something so playful, but why shouldn't joy have a seat at the table of our intentions? It kept bubbling up in my mind, and I've decided to embrace it fully.
I'm curious - what words are guiding your 2024?
Now, let's talk real estate. The 2023-2024 market tells an interesting story, particularly in Northern Westchester and Fairfield County. Here's what the numbers are showing us:
Northern Westchester Spotlight:
Mount Kisco emerged as a standout performer with a 20.6% jump in median sales price to $415,000
Pound Ridge saw a remarkable 71.7% surge to $1,892,500
Bedford experienced a significant shift with a -35.5% change to $1,222,500
Katonah-Lewisboro remained relatively stable at $977,500 (-1.8%)
The inventory story is equally compelling - areas with fewer homes for sale saw values climb even higher, while those maintaining steady inventory held their ground.
Fairfield County's Journey:
The market showed resilience with:
A modest 5.8% increase in median list prices
A healthy 7.4% rise in median sale prices
Nearly stable new listing numbers (-0.7%)
A 10.4% decrease in total sales
A special note about Ridgefield and Redding: These unique markets dance to their own rhythm, often charting their own course independent of broader trends.

Here's to making 2025 our most extraordinary year yet! ✨
Divorce is overwhelming. Between the legal process, the emotional toll, and the countless decisions you're facing every day, figuring out what to do with your house can feel impossible.
If you've been dreaming of homeownership but think it's out of reach, I have good news: affordable starter homes less than an hour from New York City are not only real—they're incredible opportunities waiting for you.
This time of year, my favorite places to visit are Harvest Moon and Outhouse Orchards . Have the donuts, find the pumpkins… have the cider for sure at Harvest Moon, and don’t skip the pumpkin cheesecake to go. It is delightful. As the leaves fall- enjoy the crunch, cover your garden beds, and let nature take it’s course. It is good for the environment, and will yield incredible garden results. This is also the time to start taking your plants inside or covering them if you are trying to help them survive the winter. See tips HERE. As for Real Estate… the market is shifting. We are entering a more neutral market. This means we are starting to see inventory stick around. Homes aren’t flying in a weekend- unless they are underpriced or an incredible deal. The important thing- you need a good agent regardless of wether you are buying or selling. Sellers can still clean up if things are done well, and buyers can find a deal if working with the right person. It is anyone’s market for the taking! If you have read all the way through… you get inside info. I am planning an event- so save the date- December 4.
