**UNDER CONTRACT in Rolesville!**

So excited for my clients who are officially under contract on this beautiful 5-bedroom new construction home by Ashton Woods at The Point!

With a mid-December closing, what a perfect way to head into the holidays — a brand-new home to call their own!🎄🏠✨

Next up: design selections! I can’t wait to see the finishes and personal touches they choose to make this home truly theirs.

Congratulations to my buyers! 🥂 I’m looking forward to watching 272 Marvel Drive come to life over the next few months.

Thinking about buying a new construction home? Don’t walk into the builder’s sales office without someone in your corner. From comparing communities and builder incentives to negotiating the details and guiding you through selections, inspections, and closing, having your own representation can make all the difference.

📲 If a brand-new home is on your wish list, send me a DM before you visit the builder. Let’s make sure you have an advocate working for YOU from day one.

Coming soon! With all the local development, I’ll still miss the old Fuquay Varina; the farms, the horses, trees and fields, but I know someone out there is excited they won’t have to drive as far to get to a Target. 🎯

The Town of Fuquay-Varina is pleased to announce the first round of future tenants for the Gold Leaf Shopping Center:

Alpaca Chicken
Mezeh Mediterranean Grill
Firebirds Wood Fired Grill
Super Chix - Chicken and Custard
Paris Baguette
Nothing Bundt Cakes
First Horizon Bank

Construction is anticipated to start this fall with businesses opening summer 2027. The Gold Leaf Shopping Center is located at 2901 Wallace Adcock Blvd and is anchored by Target (opened March 2026). Additional tenants will be announced in the future.

Why settle for someone else’s choices when you can build a home designed around the way YOU live? Now for the fun part!

New construction gives you the opportunity to choose your own style—from flooring and cabinets to countertops, fixtures, and finishes.

And don’t let all those choices intimidate you! You don’t have to figure it out alone. I’ll help you navigate the process, ask the right questions, and understand your options every step of the way.

✨ Your style. Your choices. Your home.

Curious about building new? Let’s go explore what’s possible!

It’s true, that what he said! 🤷‍♀️

The Triangle housing market isn’t crashing — but it IS changing.

The latest July numbers from Doorify MLS tell an interesting story.

📈 **Inventory is up 8.3%** compared with last year.
⏰ **Homes are taking longer to sell** — averaging 29 days compared with 24 days last year.
💰 **Home prices are holding steady**, with the overall median sales price remaining at $400,000.

And here’s one number that really caught my attention: inventory for homes priced **$470,000+ is up 13.6%** from last year.

So what does all of this mean?

1) Buyers have more choices. They may have a little more time to make decisions and more opportunity to negotiate.

2) Sellers have more competition. Homes are absolutely still selling, but pricing, condition and presentation matter more than ever.

I wouldn’t call this a weak market. I’d call it a more balanced and selective market— and that can create opportunities on both sides of a transaction.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling in Cary, Apex, Raleigh, Holly Springs, Fuquay Varina, or the surrounding Triangle, let’s talk about what’s happening in your specific neighborhood and price range. 🏡

There is nothing like a friend who knows you… I mean REALLY knows you. My dear friend sent me this mug today in the mail. And I’m just going to say it—Holly Springs really does have the best Marshalls! Who is with me?

She gets me. 😂❤️
