I have a “big†birthday this month which has caused me to ponder many of the decisions that I have or have not made in my life. Recently, I came across a small book titled “It’s Never Too Late†by Patrick Lindsay. It challenges one to consider small or not so small changes to our lives and to realize that it’s truly never too late to take on something that you’ve always wanted to do or hoped to accomplish – regardless of your age or ability. This year, I’ve committed to identifying a number of things that it’s not too late to try. I’ll be sharing them in order to hold myself accountable.
My first is “It’s Never Too Late….to learn to Ballroom Dance!†To that end, I signed Tony and myself up for beginner ballroom dance lessons which we began 4 weeks ago and we’re having a great time. We are learning the Waltz and the East Coast Swing. We won’t win any competitions but I’ve always been a very self-conscious dancer and it’s amazing what a few classes can do to your confidence.
The book has nothing to do with real estate but if I had read this book 22 years ago, I might have said “It’s Never Too Late….to Begin a New Career!â€. I have been so enriched by my 2nd career in real estate and have so many of you to thank for it. It’s not been 22 years of work but 22 years of joy (most of the time😊). Stay tuned for what else it’s not too late for!
Wishing you a Happy Fall!
Best,
Kate

There’s a palpable excitement in the market as the spring selling season nears. The Fed may have kept rates on hold, but the market is expecting interest rate cuts in the near future. After two years of 15–20% pa declines in transaction volumes, there could be a big rush if mortgage rates drop significantly.
