The Real Estate Buyer's Guide #418- Franklin, NC

Wayah Bald Fire Tower

FALL IS IN THE AIR!

Another Summer is coming to a close, and with that comes my favorite time of the year in the mountains…FALL!! Although our mountains here in Western NC are beautiful year-round, Fall is when they really show off! The transformation that occurs during late September through October is truly breathtaking. Vibrant variations of red, yellow and orange cover the landscape, and coupled with the clear blue skies and cooler temperatures, it makes Fall the best time of the year to get outdoors!

So, I encourage you to get out and enjoy our area this month, and as you do, take time to look at the local real estate market. Homes are still moving fast, so if you see something you like, the time to act is NOW!

If you’re in the market to sell, it’s still a fantastic time to get top dollar for your home or property. By contacting one of the real estate professionals featured in The Real Estate Buyer’s Guide, you’re getting one of the top agents in this area, with the expertise to assist you whether buying or selling.

Thank you for reading our latest edition. Your support of our advertisers month after month makes what we do possible. If you enjoy our publication, be sure to let your agent know you found them in The Real Estate Buyer’s Guide!
