I am in Chicago this weekend and what a fun place to be. Kelly Karls just wrote a great blog for us.

Fall Fun!

September 1, 2008 · No Comments

Today is Labor Day which officially marks the end of Summer.  For some people this means back to school, and the end of short weeks, and family vacations.  For others, its the beginning of a whole new fun season to enjoy around Chicago land.  Farmers Markets are still in full swing for another 2 months or so, so be sure to check them out, in the city and the suburbs. Fall produce is hearty and brings another fun dimension to your grilling and cooking.  Acorn and Butternut Squash, Apples, Pears, Mushrooms, and Pumpkins, are a few favorites my family enjoys.

Apple and pumpkin picking can be a great way to enjoy a weekend with friends and family, not to mention bringing home some tasty souvenirs.  There are many places around Chicago land that make a day trip to one of these fun country getaways worth the gas.  For a great resource on picking around Chicago land, click here!

And how can we forget Football season?  With the college season underway this weekend, and the Bears beginning their action next Sunday in Indy, there are so many local and state teams to grab the kids and catch a little football action!

Of course, as we begin the home stretch towards the holidays, we mustn’t forget the last flurry of real estate activity.    For the 3rd straight week, interest rates have dropped.  Sales prices are slowly rising, and areas that have been hard hit by plumeting prices are starting to rebound.

With all this positive news and fun to be had, get out there and enjoy the last bit of summer, and welcome Fall with excitement!  To find out about how to take advantage of the real estate market before you settle in for the winter, or if your just want some more fun fall ideas, contact us at kjpremier@atproperties.com.
