☕️ Coffee, conversation & a closer look at the Capital Region real estate market.

I recently had the opportunity to sit down with KeyCrew for a conversation about what I’m seeing firsthand across Upstate New York’s Capital Region - and today, that conversation was published.

We talked about how the market has evolved since the frenzy of 2020–2021, why pricing and presentation matter more than ever, what today’s buyers are really looking for, and why the market can look very different from one Capital Region submarket to another.

One thing I continue to see in my business: well-priced, well-presented homes are still moving — while homes priced on yesterday’s expectations are sitting.

It was a great opportunity to share some of the things I’m seeing on the ground and to talk about where I believe our market is heading next.

Thank you to KeyCrew for the conversation and for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the discussion.

🏡 JUST CLOSED | Oneonta, NY

This one feels a little full circle. 🤍

I first met Thomas & Maren in 2023 when I had the privilege of helping them purchase their first home. They got into the market, made that house their own, and over the next few years built equity instead of spending those years renting.

Fast forward to today…their family is growing, their needs have changed, and it was time for the house to grow with them.

When they called me to sell the very home I helped them buy AND help them find their next home in Oneonta, I couldn’t have been happier. Oneonta is well outside my typical market area, and we talked about the option of referring them to someone local. But after working together before, they told me they trusted me and would feel most comfortable having me guide them through both sides of such a big move.

So, to Oneonta we went. 😂❤️

On Monday, we closed on the sale of that very first home. Today, they officially got the keys to their new home.🥹

Their story is such a great reminder that your first home doesn’t have to be your forever home. Sometimes it’s simply the first step.. a place to build equity, build your life, and eventually help you move into the home that fits the next chapter.

Congratulations, Thomas & Maren! 🥂 Here’s to more space, being closer to family, and making so many new memories in Oneonta. ❤️🏡

SOLD | Bluebird Ridge 💫

Every property has a story, and this one seemed to tell me its name the moment I arrived.

People often ask how I come up with names like Bluebird Ridge. There isn’t a formula. I simply spend time at the property, take in the views, listen to the sounds, and imagine the lifestyle it offers. The feeling of this home inspired its name, and judging by all the messages and comments, many of you connected with it too.

Now Bluebird Ridge has officially found its new owner, and I’m honored to have represented the seller through this chapter. Wishing the new owners many peaceful mornings, beautiful sunsets, and countless memories in their new home.

Congratulations to everyone involved!

𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗗 🏡❤️

Six months on the market.
No sale.
The listing expired.

When Amy and Darryl called me, they were discouraged and ready to rent the home instead. But deep down, they knew that wasn’t the outcome they wanted.

I looked at them and said, “I know this market. I know this town. This is my hometown. Let me help you.”

They smiled and said, “Work your magic, Valley Girl.”

So we did.

We told their home’s story through intentional marketing, professional video, and a strategy designed for today’s buyers—not yesterday’s market.

𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀.
𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗱 $𝟮𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴.

The best part wasn’t the price.

It was seeing two wonderful people finally close one chapter and confidently begin the next.

Thank you, Amy and Darryl, for trusting me. Helping families in the place that raised me will always be one of the greatest privileges of my career. ❤️
