Preparing for 2022 I love this season of gratitude and hope that you were able to celebrate Thanksgiving with those you hold most dear. The end of the year is always a time for reflection and planning and I love the sentiment of this proverb. May we all let go of what no longer serves us and find joy in what we keep in our lives. The data below highlights that we are in our traditionally slow season and we still have very little inventory for sale. It continues to be an excellent time for sellers and a pretty rough time for buyers. Local Market Dynamics A Few Fun Things...

Last Friday, my husband I left sunny Moraga (a very hot day...) for foggy (ahhh...) Golden Gate Park...a nice walk, a visit to the Dahlia Garden, a free concert - Soul/Jazz Friday's at the Golden Gate Park Bandshell (see below!) and then an early dinner out. We were only gone for a few hours, but it felt like a mini vacation. Super fun and good for the soul. If you haven't been to the park in a while, this is your encouragement! "Shoulder Season" in the Bay Area is brilliant. Dahlia Garden Located in the northeastern corner of Golden Gate Park (near the Conservatory of Flowers), the Dahlia Garden celebrates the official flower of San Francisco with a diverse spread of colors that grow in a thick, fenced-in treasure trove of blooms. The dahlias at Golden Gate Park start to bloom in June and reach their peak level of beauty in late August and September. However, you can still enjoy the radiance of the blooms all the way into October. You will find the Dahlia Dell tucked between two walking paths that lead east from the Conservatory of Flowers. Since there is no sign identifying the garden, you will need to keep an eye out for the single picnic table as you walk down the paths. By car, drive towards Conservatory Drive East or JFK Drive – you will find free parking along Conservatory Drive East.

Fall Into Home Improvement Labor Day always signals fall to me and this season I am going to attempt to grow a kitchen garden. (Help from skilled friends is welcome!). There is something wonderful about the new beginnings associated with autumn - back to school, back to treasured routines and the growth of habits and new crops. A key observation I have had with clients this year is that the clients who made home improvements over time, and were actually able to enjoy those improvements over time (!), did the best financially when selling their homes. Not that I anticipate this any time soon, but even in a down market, the improved and cared-for homes always sell better. I encourage you this fall to invest in yourself and invest in your home.
