Happy National Watermelon Day! 🍉☀️

Few things say summer quite like a slice of fresh watermelon. It's sweet, refreshing, and the perfect treat for backyard BBQs, picnics, pool days, and afternoons in the sunshine.

Here's to soaking up the season, spending time outdoors, and enjoying one of summer's favorite traditions.

Share your go-to way to enjoy watermelon in the comments!

Summer always seems to fly by, which is why it's worth making a list of experiences you want to enjoy before the season ends.

✔️ Watch a sunset at a new spot
✔️ Host a backyard BBQ with friends and family
✔️ Explore a local trail or park
✔️ Visit a farmers' market
✔️ Take a spontaneous day trip
✔️ Enjoy an outdoor movie or concert
✔️ Buy a summer home or retreat - I just had to throw it in the list

The best summer memories are often made from the simplest moments, not the biggest plans.

What's one thing on your summer bucket list this year?

Days on market is one of the most important signals for sellers to understand.

It is not just a number on your listing. It is a reflection of how the market is responding to your home in real time.

📉 Pricing alignment or misalignment with current demand
📊 How competitive your home looks compared to others on the market
👀 How buyer urgency shifts the longer a home stays listed
💬 How perception builds over time, whether interest increases or starts to slow
⏳ When it may be time to adjust strategy instead of waiting it out

The journey to a smart home sale starts early. Let’s connect to get you on the right path before your listing ever hits the market.
