Back-To-School | Design and Pets | Football and Fun | |
August 2022
Hi!
It's August! School buses will soon be rolling and college football is about to kick off ... two sure signs that summer is wrapping up and fall is just around the corner.
This month's real estate section offers tools and insights for buyers, sellers, and homeowners. Helping you navigate our current market is always my goal, especially now that the market is shifting from a sellers market to a balanced market. A different market calls for different strategies. If you would like to discuss the differences or seek clarification, please reach out! Other topics this month include:
- Back-To-School: Homework stations and schedules, the best sales, and healthy, quick meal ideas.
- Our Pets, Our Homes: Interior design with pets in mind, dog wash stations, pet doors, and clever ways to hide that litter box.
- Enjoy the Last Weeks of Summer: Art festivals, Georgia football schedules, incredible hikes, doggy-friendly dining, North Georgia wineries, and looking ahead to Labor Day weekend events.
If you know of anyone considering a move, or you would like to have a conversation about the dynamic changes in the Atlanta real estate market, I'm here to help. Here is a list of essential coffee shops around town ... I'd love to buy you a cup and catch up!
