Did the Value of Your Home Change Last Month?

It's completely natural for homeowners to feel curious about their property values for a multitude of reasons—perhaps you're contemplating selling, considering refinancing, or simply wondering how much your home has appreciated since your purchase. Just enter your address below   Whatever your motivation, Pam Boyle & Associates is here to offer you a far more precise and objective market analysis than online estimates (i.e. Zillow).  While these online valuations can serve as a useful starting point, they often fail to capture the unique characteristics of your home, such as its condition, upgrades, and other critical factors that can significantly impact its true value.  I can relate to this firsthand; I was surprised to discover that my own home's square footage was inaccurately represented on several automated valuation sites!   If you're ready to gain a clearer understanding of your property's worth, don’t hesitate to reach out for a comprehensi...

10 Tips for October Gardening

                     
  1. Care for your lawn by raking or brushing leaves off the grass. Try collecting them in a leaf bag, which will turn them into useful leaf mould. You can also cut the grass for one last time this year. Make that last cut slightly higher to protect the lawn from winter frost.
  2. Trim hedges so they are crisp and tidy for the winter.
  3. October’s the time for clearing up. Greenhouses, ponds, gutters and water butts may all need cleaning out, wooden garden furniture will need covering or storing for the winter and terracotta pots will need bringing inside.
  4. Divide herbaceous perennials. Plant some back in the ground; take others to pot up and give away to friends in the spring.
  5. In the veg patch plant garlic cloves with their pointed ends up, and spaced 10cm apart.
  6. Plant bulbs for a colourful spring display. Try planting clumps of five or seven bulbs of the same variety through a border for a really effective display.
  7. Plant out spring bedding and biennials, such as wall-flowers, for spring displays. Pots and hanging baskets can be planted with spring bedding, and teamed with bulbs, grasses, cyclamen and violas for a colourful and textural display.
  8. ‘Plant’ prepared hyacinths in vases for winter scent and colour in the house.
  9. Harvest pumpkins for eating as well as carving.
  10. Enjoy the apple harvest! Why not visit an apple day in your area, where you can taste local varieties?
