Fall Prep, Market Trends & Home Inspiration
As the leaves turn gold and crimson across Missouri, it’s not just the landscape changing—so is the real estate market. Late October marks a unique time for both buyers and sellers. Cooler weather and cozy aesthetics can make homes feel more inviting, while motivated sellers often look to close before the holidays. Here are a few timely tips and insights to make the most of the season:
1. Curb Appeal Counts—Even with Fallen Leaves
Rake up those leaves, add a fall wreath, and keep pathways clear. A tidy yard and pops of autumn color—like pumpkins or mums—create a warm first impression that can help your property stand out.
2. Buyers: Look for Seasonal Bargains
Historically, late fall can mean less competition from other buyers, which sometimes translates into better deals. Keep an eye out for motivated sellers who want to close before winter hits.
3. Sellers: Turn Up the Warmth
Light a fire (or flip on the gas fireplace), bake something sweet, and stage your home with cozy textures. Creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere can make potential buyers imagine spending their holidays there.
4. Don’t Skip the Fall Maintenance
Check gutters, seal drafts, and service your HVAC before the first frost. A well-maintained home not only shows better but also reassures buyers that the property has been cared for.
Whether you’re buying, selling, or preparing your home for the colder months ahead, fall is a great time to take action. 🍁
