Overall Minot ND has been blessed with much warmer temperatures this Fall than what we normally receive in August, September, and now November.
While I normally start dreading Winter right after the North Dakota State Fair (near the end of July) I have been learning to embrace Fall. This Fall has been a wonderful blessing giving us ample time to prepare for Winter.
My intent with this post is to give thanks for the wonderful fall weather we have/are receiving and to explain the benefits of this weather to all Real Estate agents, home Sellers & home Buyers that live in the Northern regions of the USA.
This is an entry into the November Active Rain Challenge by Lynn B. Friedman CRS Atlanta, GA 404-617-6375 to give thanks related to Real Estate relationships that we have experience during our careers.
A warm and extended Fall benefits the Home Seller in many ways. As indicated warmer weather and extended Falls allows Sellers to better prepare their home for selling. With potential Buyers entering and exiting their home thier furnace will run less with the warmer weather and potential Buyers will not be tracking snow into the home.
A warm and extended Fall benefits a potential Buyer as it is so much easier to inspect the homes exterior and yard. When I purchased my first home snow had totally hidden the fact that the sidewalk HAD to be replaced (a very unpleasant surprise in the Spring.
A warm and extended Fall benefits the Real Estate professional as both buying and selling activity slow down when the outside temp drops below zero and sometimes even as low as 30 degrees below zero (not to mention heavy snowfall mixed in).
A warm/extended Fall is certainly reason to give thanks for all involved in Real Estate. It is also a blessing for folks like myself who are not in love with our long Northern Winters.
