Celebrating Excellence: A Journey to Sterling Society with Coldwell Banker

In 2024, I had the honor of being named among the Sterling Society Award Designation by Coldwell Banker. This recognition places me among the top 12% of real estate professionals internationally within the company. I like to think of this as a true testament to the dedication, hard work, and exceptional service I strive to provide to my clients every day. As a proud member of The Lisella Property Group, which holds over 50 years of combined real estate experience, this achievement is not just a personal milestone but a reflection of our commitment to excellence in the real estate industry.

The Path to Recognition

My journey in real estate has been one of continuous learning, growth, and unwavering dedication to my clients. From the moment I entered into real estate, I was determined to make a difference in the lives of those looking to buy or sell their homes. The Sterling Society award is a culmination of years of effort, countless hours of work, and a passion for helping clients navigate the often-complex real estate market.

Being a founding party of The Lisella Property Group has not only meant that I can shape the way real estate is handled, but also how clients can be helped.

Together, we’ve built a reputation for delivering outstanding results, and this award is a testament to our collective efforts.

The Northeastern US Real Estate Market: A Snapshot

The real estate market in New Jersey, New York, and Cape Cod, Massachusetts has always been dynamic, and 2024 was no exception. These regions saw a mix of challenges and opportunities, influenced by various economic factors, including interest rates, housing inventory, and buyer demand.

Market Trends and Insights

  1. Interest Rates: Mortgage rates have been a significant factor shaping the market. In 2024, rates fluctuated, impacting buyer affordability and influencing market activity. Despite these fluctuations, the demand for homes remained strong, driven by a combination of low inventory and high buyer interest[1].
  2. Housing Inventory: The real estate market continued to experience a shortage of available homes, particularly in desirable areas. This low inventory has led to competitive bidding situations, with many homes selling above asking price. New construction has been a critical factor in addressing this shortage, with builders working to meet the high demand[1].
  3. Buyer Demographics: The market has seen a diverse range of buyers, from first-time homebuyers to seasoned investors. Millennials, in particular, have been a driving force, seeking homes that offer a blend of affordability, convenience, and modern amenities[2].
  4. Economic Factors: The broader economic environment, including job growth and consumer confidence, has played a crucial role in the real estate market. This region of the United States has benefited from a robust job market, which has supported home buying activity[3].

Looking Ahead

As we move into 2025, the real estate market in these areas is expected to remain vibrant. While challenges such as interest rate fluctuations and inventory shortages persist, the overall outlook is positive. Buyers and sellers alike will need to stay informed and work with experienced professionals to navigate the market successfully.
