July 2026 Newsletter

July Newsletter There is a distinct shift that happens right around July. The chaotic rush of the spring market starts to settle into a steady, warm groove. While everyone else is busy packing the car for road trips or arguing over who left the ice out, the smartest buyers and sellers are quietly making their moves behind the scenes. If you’ve been waiting for the "perfect" moment to get serious about your next chapter, this is it. The mid-summer market rewards people who know exactly what they want—whether that’s a porch made for lazy Sunday mornings or a kitchen that doesn't feel like a sauna when you bake. You don't need to navigate the heat alone; think of me as your personal navigator through the summer rush. We're always happy to talk about where the market is heading. If you’re ready to finally find your spot in the sun, let’s connect this month.

Client Testimonial

""Julie and Sara helped my family purchase our first home, and we couldn’t have asked for better guides through the process. They were patient with us as we learned the ins and outs of home buying, and they quickly understood what we were looking for. When our wishlist didn’t quite match our budget, they gently but honestly helped set our expectations." - buyer
