Hello October: The PERFECT Month to Fall In Love With Your Next Home

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty 179530

HELLO OCTOBER! 

WHO DOESN'T LOVE OCTOBER!

OCTOBER IS ALSO THE PERFECT MONTH TO  FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR NEXT HOME!

 

"In the entire circle of the year there are no days so delightful as those of a fine October, when the trees are bare to the mild heavens, and the red leaves bestrew the road, and you can feel the breath of winter, morning and evening—no days so calm, so tenderly solemn, and with such a reverent meekness in the air." 

... Alexander Smith

 

It's October 1st! Doesn't it seem everyone loves the month of October and looks forward to it? When I think of October I think of growing up in New York City and living there for many years of my adult life. I always said it was the most beautiful month of the year in New York... crisp, cool days with blue skies, changing colors in Central Park, the feeling in the air that anything was possible. In October, it's not too cold and it's not too hot... essentially, it's perfect! It's why I love the quote by Anonymous: "my favorite color is October."

 

October is a month that seems to have something for everyone... the beauty of leaves changing colors, Football Fridays, cooler weather to get back into some favorite sweaters, warms days and cool nights, Halloween fun and candy, pumpkin flavored coffee and food, apple and pumpkin picking, Fall festivals, Fall and Halloween decorating, the World Series for baseball fans, scary movies for those who love the genre!

"I remember it as October days are always remembered, cloudless, maple-flavored, the air gold and so clean it quivers."

... Leif Enger

 

October is also a month of lots of tasty days to observe, such as:  National Pumpkin Spice Day (October 1), National Taco Day + National Cinnamon Bun Day + National Vodka Day (October 4), National Orange Wine Day + National Noodle Day (October 6), National Frappe Day + National Chocolate Covered Pretzel Day (October 7), National Pierogi Day (October 8), National Moldy Cheese Day (October 9), National Angel Food Cake Day (October 10), National Gumbo Day (October 12), my favorite: National Dessert Day (October 14), my second most favorite: National Pasta Day (October 17), National Chocolate Cupcake Day (October 18), National Chicken & Waffles Day (October 20) National Pumpkin Cheesecake Day (October 21), National Nut Day (October 22), National Boston Cream Pie Day (October 23), National Greasy Foods Day (October 25), National Pumpkin Day (October 26), National American Beer Day (October 27), National Chocolate Day (October 28), National Candy Corn Day (October 30), and, of course: HALLOWEEN (October 31).

 

October Trivia:

  • Six US Presidents were born in October (more than in any other month of the year).
  • The United Nations was founded in the month of October.
  • Yosemite National Park was established in the month of October.
  • The Statue of Liberty was dedicated in the month of October.
  • Christopher Columbus reached the new world in the month of October.

 

GETTING INTO THAT OCTOBER FRAME OF MIND

 

“I wish that every day was Saturday and every month was October.”

... Charmaine J Ford

 

“I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”

... L M Montgomery (Anne of Green Gables)

 

“October is the opal month of the year. It is the month of glory, of ripeness. It is the picture-month.”

... Henry Ward Beecher

 

“In October, a maple tree before your window lights up your room like a great lamp. Even on cloudy days, its presence helps to dispel the gloom.”

...  John Burroughs

 

October is crisp days and cool nights, a time to curl up around the dancing flames and sink into a good book.”

... John Sinor

 

“October is a symphony of permanence and change.”

... Bonaro Overstreet

 

 

           OCTOBER IS THE PERFECT MONTH TO BUY OR SELL A HOME!

Good morning Nina. Some say the first week of October is the best week of the year to purchase a home. With favorable mortgage rates may this turn out to be trie. Enjoy your day.

Nina Hollander, Broker

Wayne Martin good morning, Wayne... I come from the school of thought that any day in October is a great day to purchase a home.

The weather starts getting really nice here in October as it begins to cool down and the snowbirds start arriving, haha.

Nina Hollander, Broker   October is such a colorful month and with the change in the temps, comfortable for finding the right place to call one's own.

Of course, the colors on the ground are painful.

Oct 01, 2024 05:41 AM

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 good morning, Ed... fortunately I live in a community where those colors on the ground are taken care of for me!

See what she did there....

I love Fall in Florida. For me it means the end to Summer and the hurricane season is soon to be here. We are still in the 80s on average...but the 70s are coming!

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty hi Jeff... we had a week or so with temps in the 70's. It was wonderful. Back up to 80's this week. Hopefully our 70's will be back soon.

If there isn't already snow on the ground I truly enjoy October Nina Hollander, Broker . We are in that area of crazy weather change. Two days ago we shattered the all time high with a 100 degree day but this morning there were frost warnings. 🤪

Bob "RealMan" Timm those kind of extreme changes would make me crazy.

Hello Nina and all great reasons to love October.  I do miss walking through the woods in Pennsylvania and leaves were coming down.

Hi Nina- would you believe my eyes went immediately to National Cinnamon Bun Day!!!  If you're thinking of buying a new home, now is the time. Just think of all of the holiday decorations you could put up. 

Oct 01, 2024 12:32 PM

Kathy Streib hi Kathy... while I like a cinnamon bun now and then... I'm more about the National Chocolate and National Pasta days!

Good morning Nina.  I love this time of year and am loving it more now that we moved. I love seeing the trees lose their leaves and our long driveway turns into a picturesque place of fall colors.  I'm sorry I missed the cinnamon roll day and thanks to Kathy Streib  for pointing it out.  Happy Birthday month to Endre Barath, Jr. - hope it is a great one!  This is a beautiful time of year and a great time to buy.

Brenda J. Andrew good morning, Brenda... thanks for popping by. I agree, there's something special about seeing trees turn colors and drop their leaves. I think you can celebrate cinnamon roll day whenever the spirit hits you! :)
