your local guide to better living
NOV/DEC 2024 | VOLUME 1
November is the time when homes are filled with laughter, warmth, and the comforting aroma of holiday meals. It's when family and friends gather, and the magic of the season brings us all closer together. This time of year is about creating spaces where the people who matter most can come together—whether that means hosting your first holiday dinner or enjoying the simple moments of togetherness.
The holiday season is about more than decorations and festivities; it’s about the smiles shared over a warm meal, the laughter echoing through the house, and the quiet moments spent with loved ones by the fire. It's a time when traditions are created, memories are made, and every little moment is cherished.
Let’s make this holiday season unforgettable by focusing on the moments that bring us joy and the people who make it special. Embrace the warmth, the laughter, and the love that define what the holidays are truly about.

First impressions are everything! During the holidays, tasteful seasonal decorations can boost your home’s curb appeal without overpowering buyers’ ability to imagine the house as their own. Here’s how:
Focus on the Front Door: A classic wreath or a set of matching potted poinsettias instantly says "welcome home" without going overboard. Choose natural, elegant styles for a sophisticated touch.
cozy and inviting for buyers. Here are some simple tips to create that warm, festive vibe that helps potential buyers imagine their future memories:
Warm Lighting: Use soft white lights and candles to give off a cozy glow in every room. Battery-operated candles are great for safety but still create that comforting ambiance.
Seasonal Scents: Set the scene with smells of cinnamon, pine, or freshbaked cookies. Scented diffusers or subtle potpourri can bring out those holiday feelings without overwhelming guests.
Inviting Textiles: Think plush throws, soft blankets, and accent pillows. Adding these to living areas or bedrooms creates a cozy space where buyers can picture themselves relaxing on a chilly night.
Minimal Decorations: A simple holiday wreath on the door or a vase with winter greenery is enough. Aim for elegant and tasteful so buyers can still envision their own personal style in the space.
Highlight the Fireplace: If your listing has a fireplace, make it the star. Arrange seating around it, light a fire, or use LED logs for warmth. Fireplaces evoke feelings of comfort, especially during the holidays.
Outdoor Lights: Soft white string lights along railings or in trees can add a magical glow to your home at night. Avoid flashing lights or excessive colors—you want to enhance, not distract.
Simple Lawn Accents: Instead of large inflatable displays, opt for a few well-placed decorations, like a rustic sled, a small cluster of lanterns, or a natural garland around the porch.
Keep Pathways Clear: Ensure that walkways are clean, clutter-free, and well-lit. Potential buyers want to safely access your home— bonus points if you have a welcoming doormat to greet them.
Selling your home during the holidays doesn’t have to be stressful. With a little preparation, you can create a warm, inviting space that stands out to buyers even in the busy holiday season. Use this checklist to get your home ready:
Declutter and Deep Clean: Less is more, especially during the holidays. Put away excess decorations and keep things tidy so buyers can appreciate the space.
Stage with Comfort in Mind: Incorporate cozy accents like plush blankets, warm colors, and soft lighting to make your home feel inviting.
Keep Décor Minimal: Stick to neutral holiday touches like simple wreaths, bowls of pinecones, or elegant garlands. The goal is to add warmth, not distraction.
Safety First: Ensure pathways are clear of snow and ice. String lights should be secured safely, and don’t forget to turn them off after showings.
Mind the Temperature: Keep the home warm but not too hot. Buyers should feel comfortable while touring your property—think cozy, not stuffy.
Flexible Showing Times: Buyers are busy during the holidays too, so be as flexible as possible with showings to capture those serious winter buyers.

This answers “How’s the Market?” by comparing rate of sales versus inventory
et Na rrative
The market has been cooling over time and prices have recently flattened. Despite the consistent decrease in Market Action Index (MAI), we’re in a Seller’s Market (where significant demand leaves little inventory available). If the MAI begins to climb, prices will likely follow suit. If the MAI drops consistently or falls into the Buyer’s zone, watch for downward pressure on prices.
