Happy Thursday!

I hope you had an amazing Christmas, Hanukkah & have a happy & healthy New Year next week. This will be the final 3-2-1 of 2024. With that, I want to say how grateful I am for you. My "newsletter" is far from big, but it's powerful! A whopping 80% of you open this email every week (on average a big newsletter can expect 20-25% open rates on the HIGH end).

I'm a firm believer in the idea of 1,000 TRUE Fans (see KK's original blog post from 2008). TLDR: Having 1,000 raving fans, friends, or followers—whatever you want to call them—is far better than having millions of people only semi-interested in your work.

I have a favor to ask: Since you’re opening this each week, are there any questions I can answer or topics about North County SD or real estate you’d like to see more of?

Is there someone you think would find this newsletter valuable? If so, please consider sharing it with them.

My goal is to make this as valuable for you as possible!

I'll skip the typical 3-2-1 format this week. Here are the market stats for your viewing pleasure! When we get the final stats on 2024 I'll be sure to share the year in review.

1 Tip or Thought

I couldn't leave without sharing 1 thought!

Did you know: Around 70% of gift cards are used within six months, but 10-19% of balances go unused, and 6% of cards never see the light of day (probably in the abyss that is the junk drawer).

​The Economics Of Unused Gift Cards​

You likely gave or received gift cards during the holiday season. Don't forget to use them!

Merry Christmas again & Happy Holidays!
