October finally brings relief from the stifling heat. It is a good time to have a fireplace cleaned and serviced so it is in optimal working order when the temperature dips as we head into fall. The weather is also perfect before the holidays to complete those landscaping and exterior painting projects. Both bring a fresh look and a nice curb appeal to the homes in Deercreek.

Interest rates are in the 6.5% or higher range, so the buyers’ market continues. There are opportunities for sellers by pricing their home right and offering incentives like seller credits for closing costs or interest rate buy-downs to the buyers. Negotiations occur not only in the beginning when a contract is written, but throughout the entire length of the transaction until closing. Being creative may be the difference in a home selling or not.
