The Real Estate Buyer's Guide #427- Gateway to the Smokies, NC by The REBG

BIDDING FAREWELL TO SUMMER

I’s amazing to think we’ve made it through another summer and fall is just right around the corner. It seems every single year, more and more people are visiting this wonderful area and enjoying all it has to offer. Now, as we transition from river days and laying poolside to leaf looking and cool evenings by the fire, we see just how lucky we are to be somewhere we have the privilege of experiencing four different seasons.

This September & October, while you’re out and about enjoying the cooling weather, make sure to check in with the folks at the Jackson & Swain County Chambers of Commerce for information about the activities going on this fall. From mountain festivals to live entertainment, there’s something for the whole family to enjoy!

Before this summer completely wraps up, take a moment and check out the local housing market. Properties are moving fast, so if you’re still looking for that perfect, mountain getaway you better act now! Get in touch with one of our local real estate professionals in this guide and get all the information you need. And like always, don’t forget to let them know you found them in The Real Estate Buyer’s Guide!

Happy Fall Y’all!!
