Top Ten Tuesday – Top Ten Things to do in Western Massachusetts in October

October is my favorite month and a fabulous time to enjoy the beauty of Western Massachusetts!

When I am not busy showing houses, getting houses on the market and doing all things Western MA real estate, I love to get outside and enjoy October in Western Massachusetts.

With that in mind today’s TOP TEN TUESDAY list is the Top Ten Things to do in Western Massachusetts in October:

#1- Pumpkin patch picking. Western MA is rich with farms and agriculture and it seems there is a pumpkin patch around every corner this time of year.  Put on your boots and jeans and head to your favorite farm to wander the field and find the perfect pumpkin.

#2- Take a bike ride.  Western MA is home to several awesome rail trails which make for a wonderful time biking, walking or roller blading.  Here in Westfield we have a gorgeous rail trail, the Columbia Greenway.

#3- Corn Mazes.  There are a lot of great corn mazes in Western MA this time of year.  Some are pretty straightforward while others create an entire theme with scavenger hunts included.  My family and I make an annual trip to Mikes Maze in Sunderland, MA.  This year’s theme is “The Dali-rama”.

#4- Seasonal goodies.  Western MA is also home to a lot of great local bakeries.  This time of year you can enjoy pumpkin and apple goodies in every shape and form.  Delicious pies, muffins, cakes, soups, cider, flavored coffees… you name it!  Don’t blame me if you put on weight!

#5- Apple picking.  Another favorite family adventure is apple picking.  There are a lot of great places to visit, but my favorite apple farms are in Granville, MA.  Nothing beats a crisp apple fresh off the tree!

#6- Leaf peeping.  Just a ride down your town’s main street will give you some beautiful autumn foliage, but if you are in the mood for a leaf peeping foliage drive, there are some amazing fall foliage rides in Western MA.  If you can’t get out you can take a virtual foliage tour with MassVacation.

#7- Granville Harvest Fair.  This is the quintessential small town harvest fair.  Craft show, food vendors, building tours….all set in the bucolic Village of Granville, MA.  Held Columbus Day Weekend.

#8- Hiking.  October is my favorite time to hike.  The crisp fall air invites exercise and the foliage views reward the work.  My family and I especially love hiking at Mt. Tom in Holyoke, Noble View in Russell and Sugarloaf in South Deerfield.  This list of ten great hikes in Western MA was published for the summer, but would be even better in the fall!

These next two are definitely more for the kids in your house, not my favorites, but I know the kids in the area love these!

#9- Fright Fest at Six Flags New England.  Turning Halloween into a season instead of just a day.

#10- Hayrides and Haunted hayrides.  I enjoy the former, not so much the latter, but the kids flock to these haunted hayrides.  There are many in the area to enjoy.

I hope this list of Top Ten things to do in Western Massachusetts in October has inspired you to get outside and enjoy the beauty of this great area!


 

If you happen to drive by your dream home on a foliage ride or decide you need to buy a farm to raise pumpkins, be sure to think of me:

Top Ten Tips for Selling Your Western Massachusetts Home in the Fall by Lesley Lambert, Western MA REALTOR

It’s Top Ten Tuesday and it is also the first day of October!

We are into my favorite part of fall and I wanted to share with you why this is a great time of year to put your Western MA home on the market!

TOP TEN TIPS FOR SELLING YOUR WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS HOME IN THE FALL

#1- IT IS BUSY!
Most people think that spring is the best time to sell their home, but that is not always the case. Very often the fall is our busiest sales time of year.

#2- GREAT TIMING
With the kids back in school and summer vacations out of the way, people can turn their attention to making a move. The weather is nice and Western MA is scenic in the fall.

#3- CURB APPEAL
Fall can be a wonderful time to make your house pop in the curb appeal department. It is said that yellow flowers are the best to use in front of a house for sale, so yellow mums are perfect. You can also use some festive grasses and pumpkins and don’t forget a festive fall themed wreath! I do not recommend that you use a lot of cartoon blowup decorations or extreme Halloween decors. Think classic New England Autumn for the largest appeal.

#4- PRICE
If you get the price right then you should experience a great demand for your Western MA home for sale in the fall.

#5- WEB APPEAL
Curb appeal is important, but so is web appeal! Make sure you hire an agent that knows how to use the internet and social media channels to give your home maximum exposure.

#6- MOVE IN READY
Buyers today want a house they can move into without repairs or major renovations. Paint in neutral taupes and make sure flooring is modern and neutral. Edit any decor that is too extreme in style and remove personal items for a clean, retail look.

#7- SCENT
Fall scents are so cozy and welcoming. Make sure your house smells lovely before a showing. You can bake an apple pie (if you are good that way) or think of pumpkin, spice and other autumn scents.

#8- DEMAND
There are buyers who have been looking all summer and didn’t find the right house. Getting yours on now at the right price and looking great will catch their attention as a fresh option.

#9- LESS COMPETITION
Since most people think that spring is the best time to sell, many Western MA homeowners are waiting until next spring to put their house on the market. That means less competition for you! The buyers are still out there and the rates are holding at all time lows, the demand is there and you will be the supply!

#10- HOLIDAYS
Doesn’t the idea of being in your new home for the holidays sound great? It does to buyers, too! Get the jump on your Western MA home for sale by following these tips and you can make it happen!

If you have a WESTERN MA home you want to sell, I would love to help you reach your goals!
