It is September. Labor Day has come and gone; however, there are still 3 weeks until the official end of summer. Yes, there is the anticipation and opportunity of the Fall Selling season, but this year I am not quite ready to say goodbye to summer. There are still a few more days at the beach, lingering afternoons by the pool, and one last dinner under the stars. For my Saturday morning farmstand shop, late summer produce like tomatoes and corn are still at their peak. A BLT sandwich with field tomatoes, crunchy field-fresh butterhead lettuce, and salty crispy bacon, all bound together by creamy mayonnaise and sturdy, hand-sliced toasted bread is the perfect September sandwich. I continue my quest for the perfect ear of corn. The "Corn Moon” is the most common name for the September full moon, derived from Native American tribes who used the bright, early-rising moon to extend their harvesting of corn, pumpkins, and squash. But it is after Labor Day…time to shift out of "local summer" mode and focus on the Fall 2025 market.  This year buyer interest seems to be starting earlier than usual, more sellers are eager to get their properties on the market, and everyone is hopeful at the prospect of lower interest rates. The market continues to be challenging. There is the closely watched mayoral race and inflation uncertainty. September always brings a surge of energy…and the Doug Eichman Team is more driven than ever to achieve a successful Fall Season.
