The Spirit of the Holidays

It’s that time of year where I do all the things I love. I slow down and spend time with the people I love, sip hot cocoa, wear my favorite color (red), decorate my home with warm fall colors (crimson reds, persimmon oranges, and golden yellows), delicately wrap presents, drive around the neighborhood looking at … Continue Reading

When Too Much Is Just Right

I don’t come from a “holiday lawn” tradition. My mom stuck to her New England roots with a single electric candle in each window and a restrained wreath on the door.

And believe me, when I say my mom was the “best cook,” she was. Some of you are probably thinking the … Continue Reading

Gift of Listening

The most frequent question I am getting asked these days is, “What is happening in the market?”  Since so many of you are asking, I am going to give you some updates.  Here is what I am observing in the Austin market: We have very low inventory in our housing market which means housing prices … Continue Reading
