Wow, what a crazy week it has been! I hope that this finds you safe, healthy, and in good spirits.
This week's polar vortex was certainly a surprise for me and has left me longing for warmer temperatures – and appreciating the fact that we normally have them! I also remembered the importance of resourcefulness and to have a good attitude even when the conditions are not what I want. It was also good time for me to appreciate the little things I often take for granted …like heat and running water …and watching the pure joy of a golden retriever frolicking in fresh laid snow!
I hope this weekend’s letter brings you good cheer - and I included a few hot drink recipes in case you need one of those, too!

Matt's Market Minute
I'm sure you have heard, but the housing market is BONKERS this year! For much of 2020 we were in a sellers market until the fall, when things tipped even further in favor of sellers.
We are in a historic seller's market. Nationwide, we finished 2020 with only 1.9 months of supply and that has only dropped early this year. In the DFW market, we began February with less than 1 month of supply.
If you are a homeowner and want to take advantage of the market today, reach out to a REALTOR® today by clicking below.
