Five Reasons to Buy a Home in the Fall

Autumn is known to be the season of cooling-off right between the blazing hot summer and the cold winter. But you can also call it a “cooling-off” for the real estate market. Many people believe the spring to be the best time for buying a home. But in our research, we have found the fall is the best time to buy a home. Here are a few reasons why fall is the best season to purchase a home:

1. Less Competition

It is widely known that in fall, there is much less competition from other buyers. Since the spring and summer are the most popular periods for the purchase of properties, those who are looking to buy a new home face little competition from other buyers and can more easily buy their dream home.

2. More Attention from Real Estate Agents

During the spring, real state agents, lenders, and property insurance agents are extremely busy and may not be able to give your questions adequate time or attention. When the market cools down in the fall, they can better focus on you and have ample time to guide you and help you get the best deals in the market.

3. Motivated Sellers

In the fall, sellers are more anxious as their homes were not sold over the summer, chances are better that sellers will be more motivated to make a deal. With a good negotiation, you may be able to get a better price for your home than in the spring.

4. Best Weather to Move In

It’s not easy to move somewhere in the scorching heat of summer or in the ice or snow of winter. Fall is the best time to move because of the moderate temperatures. Moreover, there are also usually sales on laundry machines, air conditioners, and kitchen appliances in the autumn which may make it less expensive to equip and furnish your home.

5. Low Prices and a Tax Advantage in Fall

The same house you saw in the spring could be 5% to 10% less expensive in the fall. Moreover, at the end of the year, you can take advantage of tax breaks. Thus buying a house in fall, could save you a large amount of money.

Don’t put off your home search until next year. Fall is a great time to find your next home, and you may even save more.

Eight Home Design Trends that Will Rule 2019

Want to know how to improve your personal space with the latest design trends? Interior design has become a large influence on our lives. After all, who would even dare to invite friends over for a dinner party when the venue is not up to par. If you want your house to be the life of the party, read on for the latest design trends for the upcoming year.

Craftsmanship

Choosing well-crafted furniture is fashionable again, as opposed to stockpiling Ikea items just because they’re cheap. Go out and find a local atelier or a neighborhood carpenter, so you can have a craftsman design your own unique piece. It will surely give your interior a personal touch.

Metal makes a comeback

Metal is back from…well, it never really left. Iron, copper, stainless steel and aluminum are all popular in 2019. It doesn’t matter whether you prefer a classical or modern interior; a touch of metal will guarantee to provide you with an edge that will make your interior shine.

Nature as a guiding force

With the trend of valuing natural items, going back to our roots seems plausible. Which is why natural elements like wood and plants is so popular. People want to feel like they can breathe in your home, so crank up that photosynthesis and invest in some green additions or at least a wooden table. You won’t regret it.

Flowers are timeless

Flowers never fall out of fashion. The petals might fall out in due time though, so remember to refresh your flower arrangements from time to time.

Concrete is still happening

Concrete seems like a boring and cold material, but it sure has its benefits. It’s extremely resistant to all sorts of moisture damage and it has an overall sleek look and feel. If you want to create a downtown atmosphere that is reminiscent of a Brooklyn loft, invest in some concrete accents. Success guaranteed.

Vintage accents to counter Minimalism

Last but not least; don’t forget the value of nostalgia. If you want a pleasant atmosphere in your house, invest in some classic items. And to create that authentic feel, don’t forget the vintage pieces like a collector’s Hermes scarf on the coat rack. These historical gems will make any lifeless place come to life in the blink of an eye.

Pattern

Designers aren’t just going bold with color: geometric patterns, abstract prints and nature-inspired motifs like florals, which were emerging trends last year, will continue to be popular in 2019.

A Resort in Your Backyard

Homeowners want luxury hotel amenities in their backyards. They want all the amenities and the look of a luxury hotel and even go a bit further with outdoor home theaters, poolside televisions and pizza ovens from Italy. Another popular feature is artificial turf because it always looks perfect. It can be used in shady areas and does not require water and chemicals to keep it healthy.
