Less but Better Our 2019 Resolution | Benna Mountain Luxury

Happy 2019 to you!

We hope the holiday season and ringing in of a New Year brought peace, love, and time with your families doing the things you enjoy.

Our Christmas season brought about some timely and true realizations that we will carry onward this year. We’d like to share 3 of them with you as they really have made us smile. We’d love to know what you are doing this year to bring joy.

The first change we hope to make this year is one day off per week. For 2 years now, we have worked every single day except for Christmas. We value our clients so much, but we need to take Sundays off every single week to refresh our spirits, and minds and be with our children.

January 2019 – Family Ski Day and Church – Mt. Rose Ski Resort
Getting rid of the excess! We have begun a total tidying-up process at home and have a goal to work through both our home and business. JB started with the kid’s rooms and began sorting through each category and only keeping what brings us joy. We highly encourage checking out the book, “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up,” by Marie Kondo. It’s refreshing and makes life more simple.

January 2019 – Snowman Building – Removing Excess Carrot Noses
Being present in each moment and letting go of past and future. Where we have failed this in the past is in trying to multi-task which results in feeling like nothing is getting done. So here’s to a year of really focusing on being present!

January 2019 – Northstar Ice Skating – In the Moment
December 2018 – Washoe Valley Uplifting Run
December 2018 – JB’s 40th birthday party

Market Observations

An evaluation of the performance of Reno real estate reflects a healthy correction from the meteoric rise in values and velocity in preceding years. The first half of 2018 continued the remarkable, and ultimately unsustainable, trajectory before finding a saturation point in recent months. At its busiest, average days on the market bottomed out at 71 in May, the lowest measurement on record, before returning to a more moderate 95 days by year-end.
