What’s Happening in the Neighborhood?
In Ladd Park, there are currently 5 homes for sale, priced between $785,000 - $1,225,00. Seven homes sold during February, a huge increase over January, and NINE homes have gone under contract since Feb 1st. The average list price for those homes currently under contract is $318/SF with a wide range of $281 - $362/SF. The $/SF is just a rough guide to get started, there are so many factors that go into pricing a home from condition, location, upgrades, and more. If you’re considering buying or selling, I’d love to connect – give me a call!
Ever notice how clutter sneaks up on us? We accumulate things so gradually that we hardly notice. Something new comes in, nothing old goes out, and before we know it, we’re drowning in stuff we don’t need.
Decluttering pros like Marie Kondo and Peter Walsh say the first step is simple: start noticing. Go room by room and take stock of what you don’t truly like or need—but have been tolerating.
· Kitchen: Too many gadgets, expired spices, or chaos in the cupboards.
· Living room: Unused furniture, a dying plant, or that lampshade you keep meaning to replace.
· Closet: Clothes you last wore to an interview in 1999.
Next, grab a big box and start filling it with items to donate. For larger items, call a hauler or a charity that picks up.
Struggling to let go? Take a photo as a keepsake. Can’t decide? Place it in a “decide later” box and store it out of sight. Chances are, you’ll forget about it—and a year from now, you’ll realize you never really needed it.
Once the excess is gone, refresh your space. Rearrange, update, clean, and even paint until it feels right. There’s no magic trick to decluttering, just a lot of hard work and a push to get started.
If you’re selling your home, this is a perfect first step. Call me for a listing appointment, and let’s tackle some of this together!
