Early runs through my hometown always remind me.

It’s a privilege just to move. To feel sore after. To have a body that still shows up even when it’s tired.

Some miles humble you, just like some days in real estate. Deals fall apart. Timing shifts. People change their minds. And still, you show up again for the next call, the next showing, the next client who’s counting on you.

Do it tired. Do it unsure. Do it anyways.

Because running and real estate both teach the same thing. Progress doesn’t come from perfect days. It comes from consistency, especially on the days you’d rather stop.

Grateful I get to do both. Run through this community and serve it.

And keep showing up for it. ❤️

Spring is here, and the market in Evergreen is waking up 🌿🏡

Here’s what the numbers are really saying (March 2026):

• Median price: $1.96M
• Homes sold: 36 (more than doubled from Feb 👀)
• Days on market: 8 days (homes are moving FAST)
• Avg sold over asking: 106%
• New listings: 51 (more options hitting the market)

What this means if you’re a BUYER:

You finally have more inventory to choose from—but don’t get too comfortable. Homes are still selling quickly and often above asking. The good homes? They’re competitive.

👉 Strategy matters more than ever: knowing when to move fast vs. when to negotiate.

What this means if you’re a SELLER:

This is your window.

Homes are still:
✔ Selling quickly
✔ Getting multiple offers
✔ Closing above list price

But buyers are a bit more selective than before. Pricing right and presenting well = still key.

The bottom line:

The market isn’t as wild as peak frenzy… but it’s far from slow.

It’s that sweet spot:
More options for buyers 🤝 Strong demand for sellers

If you’re thinking about making a move this spring, timing + strategy can make a big difference.

Not every home is flying off the market over asking anymore.

Right now, only about 1 in 4 homes are selling above list price. Compared to nearly half back in 2021.

What does that mean for you as a buyer?
A little less chaos. A little more room to think. And yes… a better chance to negotiate.

Of course, every neighborhood is different. But overall, we’re seeing a shift. Sellers are a bit more flexible, and the market is starting to feel more balanced again.

If you’ve been waiting for the “right time,” this might be your window.

Curious what this looks like in your area? Send me a message. I’ve got you.

I didn’t expect a simple invite from a friend to stay with me the way this one did.

I went to a WILL Women in Leadership event at San Jose State University thinking it would just be a chance to connect and learn a little. I ended up leaving with a lot more.

One of the best parts was meeting and talking with college students. I also shared a bit about my own career path, how it’s never been perfectly planned, just a lot of learning as I go. As a mom and someone who works closely with clients every day, that honesty felt important to pass on. Most of us really are just building the path while we walk it.

I also had the chance to hear Madison Huang from Nvidia speak, and what stood out most was her story and how real she was. From pastry chef to working at one of the most innovative companies in Silicon Valley, she shared what she’s learned along the way. A good reminder that careers are rarely straight lines.

Her perspective on AI also stayed with me. It can feel overwhelming with how fast things are changing, but she made it feel more human. It’s not about replacing people, it’s about helping us work smarter. And it also made me think about the gap between generations, some bring experience, others bring new tools, and together we’re stronger.

What I kept coming back to was something simple.

Value the group project.
Not just in school, but in real life.

At work, at home, and in real estate with my clients, nothing meaningful is ever built alone. It’s always collaboration, asking better questions, staying open, and figuring things out together.

And as a mom, that hits even deeper. Teaching our kids to stay curious, adapt, not be afraid of change, and find something that actually feels meaningful to them. Not just what looks good, but what feels right. And to explore the world if they can.

Bay Area market update 📈
🔥 A home in San Francisco just sold $2M over asking. Yes, you read that right. 😳

Momentum is building… are you positioned to take advantage?

📈 Market Update: Mortgage Rates Jump Amid Global Tensions
Mortgage rates in the U.S. reversed last week’s dip, climbing sharply after renewed military action involving Iran pushed oil prices higher. Stoking inflation fears and increasing borrowing costs. The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate rose to 6.12%, after briefly dipping under 6% last week.

Key Highlights:

📊 10-year Treasury yield back above 4%, signaling higher borrowing costs across the economy.

🌍 Global tariffs likely rising from 10% → 15%, adding uncertainty to trade policies.

⛽ Rising oil prices are delaying anticipated Fed rate cuts.

📜 New Homebuyers Privacy Protection Act is now in effect, limiting “trigger leads” and giving buyers more control over their data.

What this means for you: Borrowing costs may be higher than expected, and trade & geopolitical uncertainty could keep rates elevated longer. Stay informed if you’re buying, refinancing, or planning your next move.

💸 Big News for Homebuyers!
Mortgage rates just dropped to a 3½-year low. The average 30-year fixed rate is now 5.98%, the first time under 6% since September 2022! 🙌

Thinking about buying or refinancing? Now’s a moment worth paying attention to. 🏡✨

Winter isn’t slowing the Bay Area down.

While most people assume real estate hibernates at year-end, buyer activity quietly picked up heading into 2026.

That matters because December is normally one of the calmest months but this time, 5.1% more homes sold in December than November. Instead, more buyers stepped back in and homes actually moved.

Translation? Momentum is building earlier than expected.

If you’ve been thinking about selling, waiting for “spring” might mean more competition and less leverage.
