📈 Market Move:
From Slump to Surge
Get ready for what could finally be the big bounce back in home sales. Predictions are in for 2025, and the outlook? A potential 9% rise in existing home sales, with an even bigger jump in 2026. After a two-year sales slump that’s felt like trying to climb a greased pole, next year might bring the market back to life. Expect mortgage rates to settle around 5.5% to 6.5%, while a steady job market and a slight boost in inventory add some buyer confidence. It’s cautious optimism, but if the stars align, real estate could have its best year in a while.

📚 Book Recommendation:
"The Thank You Economy" by Gary Vaynerchuk – Alright, let’s talk about a book that breaks down how to build a business on one thing that almost no one thinks scales: gratitude. Gary Vaynerchuk’s The Thank You Economy dives deep into how actually caring about your customers (and showing it) can be a game-changer. In the age of social media, people know when they’re just a number, and they’re tired of it. Vaynerchuk argues that those who lean into genuine relationships — even if it’s “just” a thank you note or a quick reply on Twitter — will have an advantage that no amount of paid ads can replicate.
This book is like a blueprint for old-school values, redefined for the digital world. It’s a great read if you want to stand out and grow a business based on something priceless: loyalty.
