Katie Soules Real Estate at William Raveis

🏡 The days of homes flying off the market are behind us.
The Berkshire real estate market is shifting, and one of the biggest indicators is Days on Market.
According to the Q3 2026 Berkshire Market Watch, here’s how long homes are taking to sell on average:
📍 North Berkshire: 92 days
📍 Central Berkshire: 95 days
📍 South Berkshire: 145 days
We’re no longer in the market where every home sells in a weekend with multiple offers. Buyers are taking their time, considering their options, and being more selective.
What does this mean for sellers? Pricing correctly from day one is more important than ever. Presentation, marketing, and understanding your local market make all the difference.
Homes are still selling, but patience and strategy are key!

🏡👠 Get to Know Katie — Week 4!

The not-so-glamorous side of real estate! 😂

After 20+ years in this business, I've ruined more pairs of shoes than I care to admit!

People think real estate is all beautiful homes, pretty pictures, and SOLD signs. But let me tell you, there's a whole lot more that happens behind the scenes!

💩 Sewer scopes? Yep!
🛋️ Moving furniture? Absolutely!
🥾 Muddy yards and dusty basements? More times than I can count!
🔨 Tracking down contractors and solving unexpected problems? Just another day!

And somewhere in between all of that, I actually sell houses! 😂

But that's what I love about this career. No two days are ever the same, and sometimes you just have to roll up your sleeves (and sacrifice a good pair of shoes) to get the job done!

It's not always glamorous, but it's never boring! ❤️

Get to Know Katie | Week 3 ❤️

How did I end up in real estate? Well, it actually started with a catalog and flamingos (IYKYK)! 📬🦩
Before I ever sold a house, I worked for a company called Color for Real Estate, one of the premier real estate marketing and printing companies at the time. Where are my 1990 agents??
And when I say times were different, I mean DIFFERENT! 😂
Agents would actually MAIL us their headshots, property photos, handwritten or typed descriptions, and order forms. No online ordering. No uploading photos. Just good old-fashioned snail mail!
But here’s where things got interesting…
Every day, I’d listen to agents talk about their listings, clients, negotiations, and “adventures” in real estate. And I kept thinking, That sounds like so much fun!
Then one day, a local REALTOR®, Nancy K, came in to explain what being a real estate agent was really all about.
That was it. I was hooked!
I signed up for the classes, got my license, and more than 20 years later, here I am!
Funny how a job you never expected can lead you exactly where you’re supposed to be. ❤️
And I guess some things haven’t changed. I still love the marketing side of real estate just as much as I did back then!
Next week: My Days as a REALTOR®!

Get to Know Katie | Week 2 🇫🇷

Before real estate, there were passports, sailboats and a classroom full of French kids! ✈️⛵️
I spent my junior year of high school in Nancy France through Rotary International’s youth exchange program. An incredible experience! (I highly recommend contacting your local Rotary Club if your kids are thinking about a year abroad!) So incredible that I went back after college to teach English to elementary schoolers in Orléans!
Living in France and getting to explore Europe was pretty amazing. Looking through these old photos makes me want to book a flight!
There was a Florida chapter, too! After graduating from Lee High, I headed to Jacksonville University to study International Studies and French. I also joined the sailing team - the perfect excuse to spend more time in the sun and on the water! ☀️
Two years in France and so many great memories. But you know this Berkshire girl eventually found her way home… ❤️
Next Tuesday: back to the Berkshires! 🏡
