✔️ 📈 Market Update
✔️ 🔍 Did you Know?
❤️ What I’m Loving This Month
Life:Organized. I think I’ve talked about it before, but I finally did it myself, and wow. No one wants to think about not being here any more, but planning is a necessary part of life, and ignoring it won’t make it go away. I finally got to sit down with Mary Davis, of In Good Order and Life:Organized, to go through my “stuff,” and wow. I thought I had my ducks in a row, but this was so tremendously helpful. Read more about it HERE (and reach out to me if you’d like a coupon for organizing OR Life:Organized!
📈 Beginning of Fall Market Update
As I type this, we’re a couple of days from the Federal Reserve FOMC, where they are predicted to cut rates. This will be the first cut since 2020, and it remains to be seen how much they cut. What we do know is this- the difficulties many people have had in purchasing a home in the last few years are firmly rooted in the fundamental economic concepts of supply and demand, and most experts think that while these cuts will make money cheaper to borrow, it’s also likely to push more purchasers into the marketplace, increasing competition (demand) for what is still quite a limited supply. For a more detailed breakdown of the local market, check out my blog post HERE.
🔍 Did You Know…
You may know that Richmond had the first successful trolley system in the world, but you probably also know it’s not still in use, and maybe you wondered whatever happened to those cars that helped the city build out suburbs like Westover Hills, the West End, and Ginter Park.

*This is a NEW section in my newsletter. I’m always fascinated by those weird facts, hidden stories, and “why’s” of the Richmond Region. Let me know what you think? Is it a keeper or no?
Do you have home questions, need contractor referrals, or are you (or someone you know) thinking of buying or selling a home in the Richmond area?
Reach out! I’d love to help. In the meantime, follow me on social!
