We Are All Stars: A New Year of Shining Bright

As we step into 2025, there's an undeniable weight in the air. Many of us are feeling the heaviness of recent events and carrying anxiety about what the future holds. But in these moments of uncertainty, I was recently reminded of something extraordinary: we are all made of stardust.
This isn't just a poetic metaphor. 

As Dr. Derek Suite brilliantly explains in his podcast, the very elements that make up our bodies are the same ones that formed the stars. 

When life feels messy or overwhelming, remember this cosmic truth – you were literally created from stardust, meant to shine in your own unique way.

A Moment to Sparkle

Speaking of shining, I'm humbled and overjoyed to share some personal news that has made my own light glow a bit brighter. Connect to Northern Westchester Magazine (my absolute favorite publication!) has named me the Best in Northern Westchester for Real Estate. This recognition, made possible by all of you who voted, feels like a beautiful dream. It's even more special to share this honor alongside so many other incredible local businesses and individuals who were recognized for their excellence.

Market Insights: The 2025 Landscape

On the real estate front, we're seeing encouraging movement as more listings begin to enter the market. However, it's important to note that interest rates continue to show volatility, and annual projections suggest we shouldn't expect significant decreases in the near future.

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.
