OCTOBER NEWSLETTER
Welcome to October!
It's officially Fall, which means that people are motivated to secure their new home or property prior to the holiday season. October is a busy month, with the welcome respite of a long weekend mid-month to reflect on what we’re grateful for and often it's a time for wrapping up projects and planning for new beginnings as the end of the year will be upon us before we know it.
We're looking forward to Thanksgiving and the chance to gather with friends and family to celebrate the bounty of the season and spend quality time together. We appreciate all of those who we've had the pleasure to serve. Your continued support and referrals means the world to us, we never take it for granted, so thank you.
Fall is often called Real Estate New Years. After the usual seasonal slowing of late summer, it is an active market for both buyers and sellers despite what the media may project. The market has adjusted in most segments with most buyers realizing a reprieve from the intense spring sellers' market, and many sellers opting to wait it out. As interest rates settle out over the next few months, we expect that the still low inventory will keep prices in most segments from drastic declines.
Keep reading to review market stats, and helpful articles and information. If you have any questions about the market or would like a review of your real estate investments please do not hesitate to connect as we are here to help you make educated Real Estate decisions.
Integrity... Our name is our promise!

This time of year, we start taking out our winter clothing and that can cause problems with already crammed closets. Here are some tips on how to organize and clean the coat closet for a tidier home.
1. Make sure you are storing off-season items. You probably don't need the bug spray, sunscreen, flip-flops, and beach towels so put those away (under beds is a great place to store those items!).
2. Hang coats by length. That way the shorter items don't get hidden by larger ones.
3. Use the inside of the door to store things like hats, gloves, and even shoes! There are a multitude of over-the-door storage options you can choose from.
4. Use the shoe rack. Often, when you get home, the shoes get kicked off and end up in a pile right in the front entry of your home. Try to get into the habit of storing them on a shoe rack. Bonus - you won't spend extra time hunting for a shoe!
5. Use the upper shelf. Labelled baskets or clear storage bins are perfect to tuck away mittens, hats, and scarves. Make sure you have a step-stool handy if you can't reach those bins easily.
Hopefully these tips will help keep you organized throughout the colder season. If you have other organization ideas, we would love to hear them!
