As 2025 comes to a close, I hope this season finds you feeling satiated and surrounded by the people who matter most. I’m deeply grateful for my clients and community — it was such a joy seeing many of you at our annual holiday market and recent cookie swap. Deep relationships are a constant reminder of why I love this work.
Looking ahead, Compass has released its first-ever Housing Market Outlook for 2026 (link below), and it points to a long-awaited shift toward balance.

After years of volatility, the market is stabilizing: mobility is returning, inventory is normalizing and affordability is beginning to ease as pricing levels out and mortgage rates trend lower. Buyers and sellers are recalibrating expectations — and that creates real opportunity.
With the sunset of 2025, it’s time to dream big for 2026. If you — or someone you know — are thinking about a move, a change, or simply exploring what’s possible next year, I’d love to be part of that conversation. Thoughtful introductions are always appreciated.
As we head into the heart of the holidays, I’m wishing you warmth, rest, and moments of joy with the people you love. Thank you for being part of this community — I’m so looking forward to what we’ll build together in the year ahead.
Warmly,

I cannot wait to market this beautiful home in 2026 -- but here is a little sneak peek for you ahead of the rest. Set in the heart of Bannockburn Estates, on a 1/2 acre lot, this stunner offers offers a wide open floor plan with room for everyone. Imagine light-filled spaces and a seamless flow that makes everyday living and entertaining feel effortless. The kitchen opens to inviting family and dining areas that look out onto a serene backyard, perfect for both lively gatherings and quiet evenings at home. Upstairs, a peaceful primary suite and 5 private en-suite bedrooms provide comfort and retreat for everyone. And it's in my neighborhood so we would be neighbors! :)

"Gitika Kaul is simply the best real estate agent we have ever worked with — hands down. From the moment we decided to sell our home in Bethesda, Gitika was a true partner every step of the way and delivered results that far exceeded our expectations. Before we even listed, she conducted a smart ‘pre-market test’ with her network of top agents to gauge buyer interest at different price points — a proactive step that guided our preparation with confidence."
