2020 Market Update | December

 As we approach the 2020 holiday season, it feels like we are extra giddy about 

the nostalgia of all of the familiar traditions. I’m sure you noticed that people 

put up their decorations and lights earlier this year, and if you think about it,

I think it just goes to show you that people are all searching for ways to create magic 

and spread kindness throughout their little worlds. 

And it makes sense, right? We all totally were in survival mode for the better part of

the year. We need something familiar like the smell of grandma’s cookies that we bake 

every year at Christmas or the tradition of decorating the tree with our kids no matter 

how old they are. I know that personally, I enjoy playing Christmas music and dancing 

around the house to the songs that have helped me welcome winter for decades. 

Again, it’s the familiarity that brings me such a warm and fuzzy joyous feeling.

I am so proud to be a Dallasite, and a Texan, especially now. We are seeing droves 

of people flocking to our great state looking for what they once had. Texas is an 

entrepreneurial state made up of tech, energy, and dozens of other industries that 

provide jobs and opportunities to its residents. If you are new to our state, please 

remember why you have come here. Also, this is the perfect time to remind all Dallsites 

to shop your local retailers who have struggled immensely throughout this ordeal and 

that need our help now more than ever. 

Looking ahead to 2021, I am choosing to focus on the word inspiration. There are so 

many people I get to meet and see daily that inspire me. Take 87-year-old weaving 

designer Hanne Vedel for example who has been creating rugs and upholstery without 

skipping a beat throughout this pandemic. Her work is mesmerizing and she, like my 

grandmother who is my number one inspiration, loves going to work every day. I really 

would love to know someone that inspires you. Won’t you respond to this email and 

share that story with me?

This new year is also going to be about learning how to be together once again,

and you know that I literally cannot wait. My life’s work as a realtor is made all 

the more meaningful because of my interactions with my wonderful clients that I 

get to also call friends.
