In the market for a new home? Lucky you, because fall is the perfect time to go house hunting. Not only is it an excellent time of year to buy, but it's also one of the best seasons to shop for a perfect property (and not just because you can look at listings while sipping a pumpkin spice latte.) Here are some compelling reasons why fall is the best time to seek a new place:
Even though the 2020 Masters Tournament won't have patrons or guests this year, we're still getting in The Masters spirit -- because, why not? The big event, typically held in April, was postponed to November 9-15 due to the coronavirus. While those who had tickets can't be there in person this year, we can all still be there in spirit. Thank goodness for television coverage of the event.
It's been an interesting 2020, to say the least. The pandemic prompted lots of changes for all of us. At Harbor Club, we had to quickly pivot and conduct business in new ways to ensure that all of our patrons were safe. Operations at The Boathouse Restaurant were no exception. But through all the crazy disruptions and challenges, we're proud to say that because of you, The Boathouse had a great summer season.
Recently we shared a list of the high quality, new construction home standards of our in-house builder, Patriot Builders. It's no secret that many Patriot Builders' standards are considered pricey upgrades by other homebuilders. Having high standards means our new homeowners enjoy a beautiful house that is comfortable, healthy, and energy-efficient. In fact, we're finding that energy performance is increasingly a top requirement for today's homebuyer.
Are you one of the many people pining for a rural escape during the COVID-19 crisis? You're not alone. There's been plenty of headlines and news reports about people fleeing big cities in search of more peaceful environments. It's no surprise, considering the rural suburbs are places where social distancing is a built-in part of life. Especially during the pandemic, people want to be away from crowds, traffic, and mass transit.
Have you used Zoom yet? During the pandemic, many of us are working from home. Zoom, as well as other online meeting applications, such as FaceTime and Google Hangouts, are now common tools for gathering safely -- especially for those working remotely. Just like you would with a face-to-face meeting, you want to be presentable online. But have you put much thought into your background? Not those wonky, virtual backgrounds, but the actual room you're in during the meeting? If you're lucky, you're in a home office or another quiet, multi-purpose space. (By the way, we're seeing a significant uptick in need for rooms like that in real estate.)
