SMALL BUSINESS FEATURE: JULIE MILLER
Amidst the holiday season's joyous feasting, the approach of the new year often nudges us towards seeking a fresh start. If you're considering a healthy reset, Faster Way might just be the perfect fit for you. This month, I'm excited to spotlight my dear friend Julie and her incredible health coaching business, The FASTer Way.
I've personally experienced the transformative impact of this program, and I can't recommend it enough! Julie's expertise lies in guiding individuals through the basics of learning macros, providing efficient 30-minute workouts, and demystifying intermittent fasting.
Throughout the year, Julie leads small groups of women on transformative 6-week journeys, with her next round kicking off on 1/1/24. Even if you're not quite ready to dive into the program, I highly recommend checking out Julie's Instagram. There, she generously shares daily workout tips and valuable insights on achieving weight loss goals. She also offers complimentary consultations if you'd like to chat with her and discuss options. Supporting others on the path to wellness is what she's is all about.
Mortgage rates initially surged but declined through November, yet this drop didn't notably boost housing demand. Higher home prices from a year ago could be a reason for the weakened demand.
The median sales price increased slightly, while the average price per square foot dropped due to fluctuations in the luxury market. Limited supply is preventing a drastic fall in prices. Anticipating more listings in January after a stable supply in December.
December isn't typically a peak month for home buying, so January's second half will reveal more about buyer responses to lower mortgage rates around 7% versus 8%.
