A spooky Saturday

10/28/2026

At an annual appreciation rate of 4.3%, a property would increase in value by approximately 23% over five years.

But here’s the distinction: historical averages are not forecasts.

Real estate appreciation isn’t linear. Some years bring gains, others are flat, and some bring declines.

For homeowners considering selling an underperforming home, waiting one more year is unlikely to produce double-digit returns.

The question isn’t simply how much your property might appreciate over time. It’s whether the potential appreciation justifies the cost of holding it.

Real estate decisions aren’t purely financial. Sellers may be postponing a relocation, a lifestyle change, or an opportunity to put their equity to better use.

SATURDAY SABBATH.

One day a week, I make a conscious decision to step away from work and spend less time on my phone.

Even my mother knows I protect my Saturdays. It’s my day to play piano, spend time with Teresa and Loulou, and now, enjoy precious moments with Ada.

The older I get, the more I realize that time is our greatest luxury. And protecting just one day a week for the people and things I love means more to me than anything.

The goal isn’t simply to sell your home. It’s to achieve the highest price the market will support.

That requires understanding buyer psychology, market conditions, and how to position a property to generate the greatest interest.

Because in real estate, timing and perception can be just as important as price.
