A well-kept yard with pumpkins, mums, and maybe a few deer decorations can give your home that warm, friendly feel that gets them buyers interested.
- Movin’ Time for Jobs: Fall’s a prime time for job changes and corporate relocations. People who gotta move for work reasons wanna get it done before the year’s out. That means more potential buyers lookin’ for homes in the fall, dontcha know.
- Market’s as Steady as a Rock: While some folks might think spring and summer are the best, the market can be as steady as a fishin’ boat on a calm lake in the fall.
