🍁💖🍂FALL IN LOVE WITH CHATTANOOGA!!! Autumn is officially here — but fall colors, we’re still looking for you. If you’ve been on the lookout for red, yellow, and orange leaves in Chattanooga, you won’t be waiting too much longer. According to Smoky Mountain’s fall foliage predictions, leaves in the Hamilton County area are starting to lose their chlorophyll — the compound responsible for their green color. By the end of September, it shouldn’t be too hard to spot some leaves transforming colors. Here’s an anticipated timeline of when Chattanoogans can expect to see the most colorful foliage: Sept. 30 — expect minimal color changing Oct. 14 — trees should be patchy with color Oct. 21 — more color is anticipated, we’re approaching peak foliage Oct. 28 — peak foliage, this is the prime time for sightseeing Nov. 4 — Chattanooga is past its peak, trees will become increasingly bare If you’re planning to go leaf peeping, you still have time to plan your trip before the leaves fall. There are many places in the Chattanooga area that look just a little prettier decorated in fall colors. The foliage tends to be on full display along the city’s hiking trails. Snooper’s Rock Trail in Prentice Cooper State Forest or Edwards Point Trail at Signal Mountain have been noted for being particularly scenic. Local parks are also great areas to find foliage. You could immerse yourself in nature overlooking Chickamauga Lake at Booker T. Washington State Park or head to Coolidge Park for downtown views enhanced by colorful leaves. Locals often use the foliage as an excuse to hit the road and check out scenic destinations near Chattanooga. Popular spots include Fall Creek Falls, where leaves will land in a waterfall, or Red Top Mountain State Park in Georgia. 👀Article Courtesy of: NoogaToday.com If you are ready to make Chattanooga your home, sweet home, give us a call today!!

Ah, the age old question… What should we be looking out for when viewing a home ? Well, don’t panic! It’s not as daunting as it seems 👌 Here’s your trusty checklist for house hunting this autumn …minus the stress ! Natural Light With shorter days, sunlight is like gold dust. Make sure the rooms still feel bright and welcoming, even on a gloomy day. After all, you don’t want your living room to feel like a cave ! Heating Efficiency Autumn chill got you shivering ? Test the heating system to see if it’s up to the task. Ask about insulation, double glazing, and energy-saving features, because no one likes a drafty house when binge-watching Netflix. Dampness and Condensation Autumn weather is perfect for spotting sneaky damp patches. Sniff out any musty smells or suspicious damp spots, especially in the basement or attic. No one needs surprise mould joining the housewarming party ! Garden Condition Sure, the garden might not be Instagram-ready in autumn, but check if it’s manageable. Does it look like it’ll turn into a swamp with the first rain, or worse, a jungle next summer ? Roof and Guttering Falling leaves aren’t just a scenic autumn sight, they can clog gutters and lead to water damage. Check if the roof looks solid and gutters are clear, so you don’t end up with a surprise indoor water feature. Local Amenities With autumn’s early evenings, proximity to shops, schools, and public transport becomes even more important. No one wants a long, dark walk home when you’ve run out of milk ! Keep these in mind, and you’ll breeze through house viewings this autumn like a pro. Ready to find "the one" ?
