Autumn Affairs


This is, in my humble opinion, the best time of year... Autumn. The colours and splendour of the Niagara Region and especially the Niagara Escarpment areas are nothing short of spectacular. Corn, soy beans, grapes, and sunflowers in the fields, and the whole array of reds, browns, and yellows along the tree-lines make for a beautiful backdrop for photos. I also like wood fires and putting that favorite sweater on again, as the nights get cooler. Add to that, as a sports fan, there is a virtual cornacopia of choices - football, baseball playoffs, hockey just started, and basketball just around the corner. My oldest son and my mother were born in October, and we reflect on the blessings we receive from our Almighty God during the Thanksgiving weekend in October. This is the start of the last quarter of the year, and 2009 has been a fabulous year for real estate in Niagara in general, and for me as a real estate sales representative in particular. The home resale market is as brisk as an autumn evening, with all the fear and trepidation of last fall well behind us. With interest rates holding at amazingly low levels, and stimulants such as first time homebuyer rebates helping keep things keep moving, I look forward to topping off this incredible year throughout the last 3 months. Let's go tour some homes, take in the sights, and see if this is the time for you to make your move... with Mulder :)
