PERCEPTION
My 15-year-old twins just got their driving permits which comes with double trouble! On my first day driving with Natalie she turns to me and says, “Mom, isn’t this so great…you get to sit back and relax while I drive you around!” Needless to say, relaxing was the farthest thing from my mind as she was about to run through a stop sign. However, her perception of the death-defying time I spend in the passenger seat of these driving lessons is that it’s relaxing. It got me thinking about how everyone’s lens and perception of each situation is very different and how that relates to real estate. As the market cools, large investment portfolios are waiting for the right time to pounce. So if you are sitting back waiting for the deals to pop, you’re not alone.

AUGUST COCKTAILS
In August, you want something that’ll help you beat the heat while also trying something different than the refreshing thirst-quenchers you’ve been drinking since Memorial Day. Whether you’re looking for a way to use your last-call summer fruits or want to start a slow transition into fall’s dark spirits, these are the cocktails for you.

MOVEMENT
Happy Friday, friends! The sizzling hot real estate market was cooled by interest rate hikes, however, we are seeing mortgage rates level and even come down a bit. As the market shifts, watch the Millennials buyers take over the scene who are still aggressively seeking to buy fabulous properties (Gen Y / Millennials 25-39 years old) and Gen Z on their heels (9 – 24 years old). Although interest rates have cooled the chaos, there is still a lack of quality inventory and not enough new development in the highly coveted coastal regions. It will be interesting to see how the continued lack of inventory will affect prices moving forward. If anyone is going to the track this weekend send me a text, Tom and I will be there Saturday with the kids and we would love to see you!
