Our good friends Peggy and Mike moved out last year. At that time, they went from being good friends to great clients. Although they lived outside my usual business area, they knew me and trusted I’d do a great job for them. And I did, if I may say so myself. But that’s a different story. In fact, I met them through different clients, who after working with me, became good friends. I guess it works both ways: friends become clients; clients become friends.


They followed a job to North Carolina and have been out of state for about a year. This week, they came back for a visit. Since they don’t have their former home, they arranged for a picnic lunch in a local winery. What a great idea! Quite a few of us were able to get together and reminisce as well as learn about how they are doing in their new environs. It was a lot of fun catching up, and the wines were surprisingly good as well. I hadn’t been to P&V before.

If you are revisiting after moving from the area, I recommend this approach to getting the gang together. We did it potluck style, which was very simple for all. And of course, the wines kept flowing, along with the tales. A lot happens in a year! Welcome back, Peggy and Mike. I hope you visit again every year!


PS I should mention I particularly enjoyed the 2021 Sauvignon Blanc and the 2019 Santa Cruz Pinot Noir

Many potential buyers are holding off on purchasing a home, anticipating that mortgage rates will drop even further. The common belief is that lower rates will make homes more affordable and provide better financing terms. This wait-and-see approach is based on the hope that a lower rate will save money over the life of the loan and make homeownership more attainable.

Adventures in Atlanta, Santa Barbara, and Beyond

Our recent travels took us on a journey through three distinct landscapes—each offering its own unique experiences and memories. From the bustling streets of Atlanta to the serene beaches of Santa Barbara, and finally, to the rugged trails of the Sierra Nevada, it was a trip full of relaxation, exploration, and a few surprises along the way.

The seasonal impact on the market is as you might expect, a little slower. With many leaving on vacations, the number of homes on and coming to market reduces and open houses aren’t as packed. That doesn’t mean the market is on vacation though; quite the opposite! There's a wave of new buyers entering the market alongside those already in the market.
