I’m glad you’re here!
I’ve put together a nice assortment of bite-sized pieces of
real estate news, entertainment, and resources I think
you’re going to enjoy. (And maybe even learn a thing or two
you never knew you wanted to know!)

Here’s a sneak peek at what’s on tap:
- A role she didn’t even audition for…
- Your car payment may be costing you more house than you think
- 6 humorous (but useful!) Christmas gifts for first-time homebuyers

But first, let’s start it off with my…
Meme of the Week
In case you’re ever wondering if it’s an acceptable time to call or text me, this should clear it up!
A role she didn’t even audition for…
Getting a call from the head of your HOA usually isn’t something anyone gets excited about… but what if that call was coming from a Hollywood star?
Now, in addition to her roles as a mom, wife, and actress, she’s fielding everyday neighborhood issues like maintenance issues and noise complaints.
Your car payment may be costing you more house than you think
If you’ve ever worked with me while buying a home, you’ve probably heard me give this advice at least once: don’t buy a car before you close. So you may know it can impact your mortgage approval… but you might not realize just how much it can affect what you qualify for.
Depending on your car payment, it could be the difference of $100,000 or more in buying power!
Check out this article I published breaking down real-world examples from three different sources to give you a few different perspectives on how much it can affect your buying power.

“How’s the market?”
I get that question a lot, and I’m always happy to
answer it! But there’s no one-size-fits-all answer.
That’s why this newsletter doesn’t include weekly
stats or price updates.
Besides, most people don’t care about real estate
data until it actually matters to them. So instead
of stats, I just try to keep this fun and
entertaining.
Curious about a specific house? Wonder what your
place is worth? Or just want a quick market
snapshot?
Just hit reply and ask me!
I’m always glad to give you any information,
thoughts, or data you want. (And of course, no
obligation or pressure! I love
any opportunity to talk about the market.)

Trivia Time
6 humorous (but useful!) Christmas gifts for first-time homebuyers
The holidays can really put a dent in your budget, so coming up with inexpensive but meaningful gifts are like little Christmas miracles for your wallet.
Well, if you’ve got a first-time homebuyer to shop for, you’re in luck!
Here are 6 budget-friendly gift ideas that are equal parts funny, practical, and memorable. Plus, they’re sure to bring a laugh while actually being (at least somewhat) useful, unlike a “Home Sweet Home” cross-stitch they’ll never hang up.
The fact is…
I’ve sold actual houses that are smaller than this! (But none that were as tasty…)
That wraps it up for this week!
Be on the lookout for the next one!
