Happy Fall, Friends!
It’s hard to believe our beautiful fall weather is already winding down! With colder nights, cooler days, and winter showing up in the forecast, it’s time to start preparing our homes for the snow and freezing temperatures ahead.
A few seasonal reminders for your mountain home:
- Blow out your sprinklers. If you haven’t already now is the time to get your irrigation system winterized before freezing temperatures arrive.
- Put away patio furniture. Store outdoor furniture, cushions, and other items that could be damaged by snow and winter weather.
- Prepare your home if you’ll be away. For those who aren’t full-time residents keep your thermostat set to at least 55°F, open the cabinet doors under sinks to help warm air circulate around the plumbing, and consider shutting off your main water supply if it’s easily accessible. A little preparation now can help prevent costly surprises later!
- Don’t forget your ski passes! This is a great time to lock in your winter plans. Payette Lakes Ski Club season passes for Bear Basin and Little Ski Hill are available at lower rates through Thanksgiving. Tamarack and Brundage Mountain are also offering four-day passes that won’t be available later in the season.
A quick look at the McCall and Surrounding Area real estate market.
Our local market continues to show strength with both prices and the number of sales up from last quarter across our regions. At the same time we’re moving into our typical late-fall season, when visitor traffic slows and some sellers begin adjusting their prices.
For buyers considering a mountain home this can be an excellent time to explore the market. We still have a good selection of inventory and price reductions are creating some attractive opportunities. Whether you’re looking for a vacation home, an investment property, or a place to enjoy year-round, there are some great options worth a closer look.
Looking ahead to winter:
We have plenty of fun events and activities coming up in the McCall area! Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or getting ready to spend more time in the mountains this winter, I’ve included a few upcoming events below to help you plan your calendar.
As always, thank you for your continued trust, business, referrals, and, most importantly, your friendship. It’s a privilege to help you with your real estate goals and to be part of such an incredible community.
I hope you enjoy these last few weeks of fall, get a chance to enjoy the beautiful changing seasons, and are looking forward to another great winter here in the mountains. I look forward to seeing you around town, on the slopes, or out and about enjoying all that McCall has to offer!
Warm regards,
Cory Corbet
