We don't know about you, but those of us on The Kable Team are excited about all the fall activities that are going on! Football, soccer, town festivals, art shows, you name it, there is always plenty to do in Jefferson County! Don't forget, the Mountain Heritage Arts and Crafts Festival will take place September 28-30. For hours and directions, you can go to www.jeffersoncounty.com/festival.

With interest rates so much in the news this week, we thought this would be a good time to remind everyone of the importance of securing a mortgage pre-approval before looking at property. Buyers without one are really not ready to purchase and, of course, you don't want to look at property before you're ready to move forward. Though we are experiencing a buyers' market, it is still possible for two buyers to want the same property at the same time. In fact, that just happened to one of our Buyer Specialists! We are happy to report that The Kable Team client's offer was the successful one. We are anxious to work just as hard for you! To get started on the search for your ideal home, please visit www.kableteam.com or give one of us a call today. We look forward to hearing from you!

Enjoy your weekend!

Though we all think of Labor Day as the end of summer, the temperatures this week remind us it's not fall yet. We hope you have had a wonderful summer. If any of you have tales of summer fun you'd like to share with us, we'd love to hear from you!

Real estate in Jefferson County continues to take its twists and turns. Some weeks, offers are abundant and other weeks, they aren't. Perhaps you feel unsettled about your place in the market. That is certainly understandable given the conflicting messages in the news. Our best advice to you is, if purchasing a home feels right to your family, then now is the time. If you need assistance finding a lender to help you work through the financial aspects of your purchase, let us know. We maintain a list of lenders with whom our clients have had success. The Kable Team strives to make each buyer's home purchase as stress free as possible, from identifying a lender to a smooth closing. There is one catch, though. We won't unpack your boxes!

Have a terrific weekend!
