Today's octogenarians, nonagenarians, and centenarians are not just reminiscing about the past; they're actively shaping the present and future. From the courtroom to the comedy stage, from TikTok to the golf course, and even in our very own neighborhoods, they are redefining what it means to age gracefully. Personal Stories:   Jo and Doreen, The Pillars of the NeighborhoodJo, at 93, is a testament to the... 09/21/2023

Let's dive into it in this midweek market report. As someone who's been in the real estate game for 20 years, I've seen my fair share of market fluctuations. Back in early August, I mentioned that we were experiencing some momentum in the market, indicating an early start to the fall season. But as the seasons change, so does the housing market.According to Realtor.com, the week from August 1 to August 7 is prime time for homebuyers. Why, you ask? Well, sellers prefer not to have their homes listed during the winter months, and some are even willing to take their homes off the market temporarily, only to relist them come spring. If they're serious about selling, that is.But hold on a sec! Wh... 09/21/2023
