Winner of my GAME DAY OOTD goes to this guy. He received points for the following. 1. I’ve not seen this particular stripe pattern on overalls before ✅ for authenticity! 2. I think it’s paired perfectly with the flame 🔥 inspired flip flops ✅ 3. A game day hat is a must. This style hat paired beautifully with these overalls ✅✅ 4. He’s not wearing Peter Milar with khaki shorts ✅✅✅, meaning he branched out a bit from the rest of the crowd 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 5. Effortless style with the leg roll up. Love it!
So shout out to this guy for his creativity.
Here. For. It!

Asking for a friend. Why don’t they sell wine in Jordan Hare? My friend really could use a glass right now. Doesn’t even have to be in a glass. A cup is fine she says.

Hard to beat a night before a “big game” walk on campus. Had to stop and capture the moment for you guys. I love college town living.

So has anyone seen Ruth out and about since she posted bail? I heard there is going to be FREE RUTH T’s for sale. And in other news. The sky did not fall when the Fed raised the rates. And there is another rate bump expected by the end of the year. Just a little reminder to the sellers out there that interest rates and the economy DO have an impact on buying homes. So buckle up, wrap your head around the fact that your property might sit for a good bit longer. The term these days are “buyers are being intentional with their purchases”
Which means they are looking at everything on the market. Really taking their time before purchasing. But…back to my original question. Has anyone seen Ruth?

Hidden little unicorn inside the loop in Auburn, Alabama.

This one? Well she’s pretty fantastic! Sitting in one of Auburn’s hidden gems of a street, tucked back on 5 acres, with not a soul in sight! Over 9000 square feet, 5 car garage, one RV garage, porches and patios everywhere! Also perfect for a mother in law suite. So many endless possibilities. More to come, but enjoy this little teaser!

I was going to post a video today of a house I just listed. But decided we all needed a Monday wake up call instead. The numbers from August of 2025 vs August of 2026 just came in and I need to share.
Hold onto your belt loops because it’s about to get bumpy.
August 2025 in Auburn 306 houses on the market.
August of 2026 in Auburn 423 houses on the market.
Pretty big increase of competition for the sellers out there.
Sellers what does that tell you?
Average Days on market August 2025 (53)
Average Days on market August 2026 (82)
Sellers what does that tell you?
The biggy? The biggy is this….
Last year we sold 60,514,267 mil
This year? We sold 42,164,276 mil
That’s about a 30 percent decrease.
The months of August only. Auburn only.
Moral to this story. Sellers now is not the time to chase the market. If you get an offer and it’s low. Don’t get offended. Counter back. Try and make it work. This is not a doom and gloom post. This is a reality check. Numbers don’t lie.
