From Peaches to Pumpkins Here comes Fall in Big Canoe!!

On July 10, 2008, Karin Elliott wrote -

 I haven’t been blogging recently due to a rush of house hunters looking to purchase, move,  and get settled in Big Canoe so they can enjoy Fall in the North Georgia Mountains. It seems so strange to me because I just came back from Ellijay with a crate of fresh summer peaches! However these buyers are right on the money! it won’t be long before the Atlanta crowds start coming up for apples and pumpkins. School starts in less than a month, and the stores all have their fall lines displayed. Do I dare to put away my flip/flops and kiss away this practically perfect summer?

When you think about it these customers are thinking ahead and they make perfect sense! The average time it takes to buy a home is 30 days. This includes an average 10 day due diligence period and time for the lenders to process the loans. This does NOT include the time it takes to find the right home. Some people find on their first trip to Big Canoe but others need a few trips to get their bearings in Big Canoe. Adding the 30 days plus about 2 or 3 weeks brings us to almost mid September. Once you move in then it takes one or 2 more weeks to get your furniture placed, any painting or repairs done, and your fridge & pantry stocked. Now it’s October and all you need to do is stock up on firewood, break out the crock pot for chili, and go for a long Autumn hike.

So whether you are looking for a weekender or a full timer, it may be time to start heading up to Big Canoe to stake your claim. Feel free to wear those flip flops while you are looking!!

    When do you think this Real Estate market will go back in a positive direction? Or is it nonetheless too early to tell? We are seeing a lot of housing foreclosures in Altamonte Springs Florida. What about you? Would love to get your feedback on this.
