Well, 2023 is officially in the rear view mirror. The seasons were a blast last year weather wise. Another endless spring with blooming flowers galore, a warm and sunny (but not too hot) summer, a mild fall turned into a a blaze of colors into November, and so far winter has been a mixed bag of rain and clouds and the occasional sunburst. The real estate market cooled off considerably, thanks in large part to high inflation, high interest rates, and the fed trying to cool off the economy.
With all that being said, I’m looking forward to 2024. Yes, there are the ever present doom and gloom themes, but I think there’s also a lot to be thankful for. In no particular order, here are (20)24 things I’m looking forward to this year.
1. Springtime again(!) and 2) bike rides on my electric bike. Pastries from any of my favorite places including 3) Orange and Blossom and 4) Bee’s Custom Cakes. Shopping at 5) Providore market, including their Arrosto options. Outdoor adventures with my two kiddos at 6) Forest Park, 7) the gorge (anywhere), and swimming at 8) Dodge Park (so idyllic!). 9) Travel to see family and friends. 10) One of my kids entering kindergarten in the fall, the other moving into 11) pre-school. 12) Lower interest rates for my buyers and sellers! 13) Helping my clients navigate energy efficient upgrades that are now available through the 13) Inflation Reduction Act. 14) Heat pumps! 15) Doing my part to promote equity and inclusion. 16) Supporting local businesses, non-profit organizations, and artists. 17) Learning and growing, 18) Putting my degree in climate change into action. 19) Getting my Principal Broker license. 20) Sipping coffee at Junior’s Coffee or any of the million amazing places here. 21) Talking about ADU’s and remembering when I built mine years ago. 22) Walking my dog Vinnie and taking him on adventures. 23) Having coffee with you! I love meeting people and talking about what’s important to you, and 24) how I can support you in any life opportunities you endeavor for.
