Lisa's Market Minute

This Month's Insider Look: August Edition

“The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.” – Michael Altshuler

Hello, August! 🍒☀️

August slows everything down in the best way. Mornings feel softer, sunsets linger a little longer, and farmers markets are overflowing with cherries and peaches. I’ve been bringing home bags of both, just enjoying them straight from the bowl.

Find your own simple joy before the season turns.

On the market side of things… July stayed hot. Turnkey homes sold fast, inventory inched up, and international buyers are back in the game.
