Gaining Knowledge and Recharging in Tahoe

What an Incredible Experience at the 2nd Annual Compass Economic Summit! I had an amazing time in Lake Tahoe—connecting with fellow agents, learning from industry experts, and gaining valuable insights into the ever-changing real estate market. The sessions on strategic planning and the latest marketing trends were packed with takeaways that will help me continue delivering top-tier service to my clients.

I also made time for a bit of self-care by hitting the beautiful Sagehen Creek Trail for an early morning hike. This stunning 4.5-mile trail winds through lush meadows, alongside a mountain stream, and offers incredible wildlife and wildflower views. It was the perfect way to recharge and get ready to dive back into business with fresh energy!

Feeling inspired, refreshed, and excited to put everything I've learned into practice!

Autumn Market Begins with Lowest Interest Rates Since Spring 2023

As we enter the fall season, the real estate market is gaining momentum with the lowest interest rates we’ve seen since early this year. August followed typical seasonal trends, but with the Federal Reserve cutting rates for the first time since 2020 and mortgage rates just above 6%, I believe we’re about to see an increase in market activity. Buyers who’ve been waiting for a drop in interest rates may find this is the right time to make their move.

I take pride in staying connected to all aspects of the real estate profession. Through ongoing education and by keeping up with the latest regulations and market shifts, I’m able to give my clients up-to-date advice and strategic guidance. Preparation is key in today’s market, and I’m here to ensure you’re well-positioned for success, whether it’s navigating mortgage changes or getting your home ready for sale.

With the market showing signs of a rebound, this is a great moment to act if you’re prepared. My focus is on delivering clear, straightforward advice—helping you make confident decisions without getting bogged down by unnecessary details.

As we move into the autumn selling season, I expect demand for homes to rise, especially as housing affordability improves. The next few months offer a unique window of opportunity before the typical winter slowdown, so if you’re considering buying or selling, now is the time to plan ahead. With my experience and strategic approach, I’m ready to help you navigate this market and make the most of what’s to come.
