Kicked off the weekend with a little Spooky Season fun 👻🎨 Loved spending the morning with MYP & Big Brothers Big Sisters at the Desoto Boys & Girls Club!

One quote that really stuck with me today was: “I enjoy helping these kids become the best version of themselves.” 💕 The space was amazing, and the kids made it even better.

We even got challenged to a game of knockout… and let’s just say the boys gave us a run for our money 🏀😂 Already looking forward to the next one! ✨

Thinking about buying or selling in Bradenton? Here’s what the numbers are showing us..

📊 August Snapshot:

🏡 Median sold price: $344,000 (down about 6% from last year)

📈 Manatee County overall: 852 homes sold with a median around $415,900

🏘️ New listings: ~366 hit the market in August

⏳ Median days on market: around 100 days (North Port–Sarasota–Bradenton metro)

💡 What it means:
Inventory is building and prices are softening a bit. Buyers are getting more choices, and sellers need to price competitively to stand out.

⚡ Whether you’re a buyer looking for options, or a seller wanting to time the market, now’s a great moment to get clarity.

Saturday wisdom with Marshall Goldsmith…✨

What is the one quality that differentiates truly successful people from everybody else?

“Truly successful people spend a large part of their lives engaging in activities that simultaneously provide meaning & happiness. Truly successful people have Mojo.”

“Mojo is the positive spirit - toward what we are doing - now - that starts from the inside - and radiates to the outsides.”

The payoff of having Mojo? Morning meaning. More happiness.

What were you doing in 2000?

Downloading LimeWire tracks?
Flipping through a Blockbuster DVD?
Worrying about an 8.2% mortgage rate?

Funny how quickly we forget what “normal” used to look like.

Because now?

Everyone’s panicking about 6.8%.

But here’s the truth:

→ 6.8% isn’t a crisis.
→ 2.7% was the anomaly.
→ And waiting for perfect rates is how people get stuck.

Buyers who win don’t wait for the lowest rate.
They act when it makes sense for them.
