on
If you’ve been watching from the sidelines, now’s the time to lean in.  It’s officially the best time to buy this year.  According to  Realtor.com , this October will have the most buyer-friendly conditions of any month in 2025: “By mid-October, buyers across much of the country may finally find the combination of inventory, pricing, and negotiating power they’ve been waiting for— a rare opportunity in a market that has been tight for most of the past decade .” So, if you’re ready and able to buy right now, shooting for this month means you should see: More homes to choose from Less competition from other buyers More time to browse Better home prices Sellers who are more willing to negotiate Just remember, every market is different. For most of the top 50 largest metros, that sweet spot falls in October. But the peak time to buy may be slightly earlier or later, depending on where you live.

Holiday Home Decorating Tips for Small Spaces in North Carolina

on

You may live in a small city dwelling, or have limited square-footage to call your own, but that doesn’t mean you can’t go big with seasonal cheer! We’ve got you covered this holiday season with tiny space decorating ideas that will fill your home with festivity, from your mantle, to your tree. 

1. Reach your highest potential

When your space lacks width, you can capitalize on any height by handing simple cardstock snowflakes or lightweight Christmas ornaments. 

2. Rethink wreaths 

While we typically think of wreaths as a door or wall decoration, you can go low and use them to jazz up a side or end table. 

3. Simplify your centerpieces 

You may not have room for huge bouquets or glittering sculptures, but you can pull together a dinner table using charming compact centerpieces. Try filling a mason jar with greenery, cranberries, water, and a floating candle.

4. Try a tiny tree

Keep it small and simple with an adorable mini holiday tree. Ideal for rooms lacking square footage. Add a couple neutral color presents, blankets, and fairy lights, and you have your self a classy tiny tree!

5. Go big with you mantle

During wintertime, the fireplace is the focal point of your living room. Give your mantle a holiday makeover that will catch everyone’s attention by decking out with garland, candles, and chic mini trees!

6. Make your wrapping paper part of the decor

You already have presents out, so let them double as decorations! Adding a few springs of festive foliage to brown paper wrapping with twine is a tasteful way to celebrate the seasons’s bounties indoors. 

7. Improves a mantel

No mantle? Consider improvising a sehlf and decoratings with pine garland. What a cherry place to display a stocking!

8. Give your home a holiday scent

Smell goes a long way in setting an atmosphere, and filling your home with holiday aromas can make up for minimal decor! Try boiling cranberries, orange, basemary, and cinnamon.
