Why September is Prime Time for Real Estate Moves in Central Ohio

Introduction:

September signals the beginning of fall—and for many in Central Ohio, it also marks a shift in focus. With school routines in place and cooler days ahead, now is an ideal time to make a well-planned real estate move.

Whether you're thinking of selling your current home or exploring a downsized lifestyle with better amenities, the early fall market offers balance, motivation, and opportunity.

Why September is a Smart Time to Buy or Sell

1. Curb Appeal is at Its Peak

Autumn brings vibrant colors, crisp air, and cozy curb appeal. A well-decorated front porch with seasonal accents can help listings stand out and evoke emotion in buyers.

2. Less Frenzy, More Focus

Buyers in September tend to be more serious—less window-shopping, more decision-making. Likewise, sellers who list in fall are usually motivated to sell before year-end, making it a win-win for both sides.

3. Closing Before the Holidays

Moving in September gives you ample time to close, settle, and decorate before the holiday season. It’s an ideal window for buyers who want to host Thanksgiving in their new home—or sellers who want to finish strong financially this year.

Top Mistakes Sellers Make in the Fall—and How to Avoid Them
