October is the honest month around here. The leaves come off, the light changes angle, the first real rain of the season runs through everybody's yard, and suddenly you can see things about a street that were invisible in July. Buyers touring homes this time of year with an Irongate Inc., REALTORS® agent get a look at the Miami Valley that summer buyers do not get, and most of them do not realize they are getting it. If you are out looking at houses over the next several weeks, here is what the season is quietly telling you.

Bare Trees Reveal What the House Actually Faces

In summer, a mature canopy hides a great deal. Come late October in older sections of Oakwood, Kettering, and Dayton, the same street looks different. You can finally see the neighboring rooflines, the utility runs, the commercial building one street over, and how close that busy road really is. None of that is necessarily a problem. It is just information you would not have had in June.

The start of fall may be around the corner, but that doesn't mean you can't fit in some more last-minute summer adventures around the Miami Valley. You'll find a fun variety of late-summer events, festivals, outdoor activities, and more, perfect for an exciting day out with the family before back-to-school time arrives.
