Fall Maintenance for Homesellers - Cressy & Everett Real Estate

Fall is a time for change and selling your home is one of the biggest changes you can make. If you're eyeing an upcoming date to list your home, you want to make sure the entire property is ready for prospective buyers to view. Hopefully, you've been diligent with your seasonal maintenance tasks. As one of the most important responsibilities that come with homeownership, neglecting the many interior, exterior, and landscaping tasks around your property can lead to inconvenient and expensive problems down the road.

However, even if you have remained on-schedule with your monthly maintenance responsibilities, there are a few others you may want to focus on if you're hoping to list your home for sale in autumn. Our real estate agents share tips to help get your home ready.

Multi-Generational Living - Cressy & Everett Real Estate

When you're looking to buy a home, there are plenty of things to think about. Not the least of which is whether or not you want a home that can accommodate your parents, grandparents, or even your kids years down the road if necessary. We always hope that our elders and children live long, healthy lives, but there are times where they need help from family members.

Our real estate agents understand the challenges to multi-generational homebuyers, so we've put together these five tips for buying with a multi-generational focus.

  1. Why Consider Multi-Generational Living?
    You never really know what's waiting around the corner, but keeping a close eye on what's happening currently with both your family, as well as economic conditions, can help you buy now for later.

    Multi-generational homes have been around for decades, but the market crash of 2008 made them a mainstay in the housing industry. As the housing market plummeted, more and more families were forced into single homes. Parents moved in with children, grandparents moved in with grandchildren, and children moved in with both.

    All of that to say, know what you may be in for based on your family's dynamics.

South Bend Bakeries - Cressy & Everett Real Estate

Homer Simpson has a lot of peculiar ideas, but his love of donuts is one we heartily endorse. Our real estate agents can't wait to celebrate National Cream-Filled Donut Day on Saturday, September 14 with a sweet treat from one of these delectable donut shops in the South Bend area. Which flavor will you choose?

  1. West End Bakery - 414 W. 7th St., Mishawaka 46544
    When a bakery has been in business for more than 90 years, they must be pretty good at what they do. Adolf and Mary Fobe opened West End Bakery in 1928 and their grandson Greg carries on their tradition today, not far from Mishawaka homes for sale. Generations of local families have turned to West End Bakery for apple fritters, chocolate-glazed donuts, and other baked treats as well as their specialty wedding and birthday cakes. Hours at West End Bakery are 7 a.m. - 4 p.m. every day but Sunday.
