🍂 Fall Homebuyer Tips
Look Beyond the Leaves – Beautiful foliage can hide roof issues, clogged gutters, or foundation cracks. Make sure your inspector checks carefully.
Check Heating Systems – Fall is the perfect time to test the furnace or fireplace before winter sets in.
Notice Natural Light – Shorter days highlight how much sunlight a home gets. Pay attention to how bright (or dark) it feels.
Evaluate Insulation & Drafts – Stand near windows/doors. If it feels chilly, you may be looking at future energy costs.
Ask About Fall/Winter Maintenance – Leaf buildup, ice, or snow removal (if applicable) can affect upkeep and HOA rules.
Negotiate with Motivation – Sellers listing in fall are often more serious and willing to negotiate.
Plan Ahead for Holidays – If you want to host Thanksgiving or be moved in before the New Year, start the process early.
Take Advantage of Seasonal Sales – Appliances, furniture, and home goods often go on sale in November.
