Get that "Just Moved" Feeling—without Moving!

Many people making real estate moves this spring are feeling a surge of optimism and energy. It’s a feeling that often comes with big life changes. Moving, in particular, is full of possibility and potential—new space, new routines, and new surroundings.
Of course, many of us aren’t moving this spring, but we still want that fresh sense of optimism and energy. What can we do?
There are plenty of ways to create ‘change energy’ in our lives. We can remodel our homes (even rearranging furniture can spark a renewed sense of possibility). Or we can start a new project, take a vacation, or finally buy that sports car (hello, midlife moment). We might start writing a book or volunteer.
The bigger the change, the more energy it tends to generate.
Here’s something interesting: that urge for renewal isn’t random. Neuro- science suggests our brains are wired to respond to new beginnings. When we feel more engaged, our mood lifts. Even the anticipation of change can boost our energy, which is why making plans can be so satisfying.
Making a change—big or small—is a great way to head into spring. And if your version of “something new” happens to involve real estate, let’s talk.

A Mother's Day Tribute
Things I've Learned from my Children
A 3-year-old’s voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.
When you hear the toilet flush and the words "Uh-oh", it's already too late.
Always look in the oven before you turn it on. Plastic toys do not like ovens.
Legos will pass through the digestive tract of a four-year-old. Duplos will not.
Play Dough and Microwave should never be used in the same sentence.

Is It a Town, Row, or Terrace House?
If you've travelled between the US, Canada, and the UK, you might have noticed that a particular type of home looks the same but is called something different in each place. In the US it’s called a Townhouse. In Canada it might be a Row House. And in the UK, a Terraced House.
Each is a narrow, multi-storied home, designed to use land more efficiently. Row House is the most obvious of the names, as the homes are all in a row. Terraced Homes comes from the idea that visually rows of homes sit on terraces on a hillside, like a garden. And the idea of a Townhouse came literally from a time when wealthy country people owned a narrow house in the city; their 'town' house.
