🎃👻 Spooky Season in Central Texas: Home Tips & Halloween Fun! 👻🎃

Hey everyone, it’s Malcolm with HomeVets Realty. As the ghosts, goblins, and trick-or-treaters come out, I wanted to share a few fun and helpful reminders for all my fellow homeowners this Halloween season!

🏡 1. Keep Your Home Safe for Trick-or-Treaters

Make sure your front yard and walkway are well-lit and clear of any tripping hazards. It’s all fun and games until someone trips over a hidden garden hose or Halloween decoration!

💡 2. Light It Up (Spookily!)

Swap out a few porch bulbs for orange or purple lights — they set the mood perfectly while still keeping your walkway visible. It’s a small touch that makes your home festive and safe.

🕷️ 3. Curb Appeal Isn’t Just for Buyers

Even if you’re not selling, this is the perfect time to show off your home! A few pumpkins, some creative lighting, and maybe a friendly skeleton or two can make your place the talk of the neighborhood.

🎃 4. Don’t Forget Your Pets

If you have dogs or cats, keep them inside and away from the door during trick-or-treating hours. Costumes and commotion can stress them out — and you don’t want them sneaking out when the door opens.

🏠 5. Thinking About a New Home Before the Holidays?

The fall market still has great opportunities — fewer buyers means less competition, and sellers are often motivated before year-end. Whether you’re ready to buy, sell, or just plan for 2026, now’s a great time to start the conversation.

Have a safe, fun, and candy-filled Halloween from your friendly Realtor®,
🎃 Malcolm Davis | HomeVets Realty

Buying a home during Christmas

  Buying a home during Christmas can actually give you several quiet advantages that are easy to miss if you only shop in the busy spring or summer months. For the right family and the right situation, the holidays can be one of the smartest times of the year to make a move. Because tool use is disabled for this reply, the points below come from general market patterns and experience rather than fresh data, so always check current local conditions before acting. Fewer Buyers, Less Competition Most people do not want to move during the holidays. Between travel, school breaks, weather, and family events, many buyers decide to “wait until next year.” That can work in your favor. With fewer active buyers, you may face fewer multiple‑offer situations and bidding wars. You often get more time to think about an offer instead of making a rushed decision. Sellers who stay on the market during Christmas are usually serious, not just “testing” their price. For your family, less competition ca...

  From 2025 to 2026: New Beginnings, New Homes, New Opportunities By Malcolm Davis | Homevets Realty As we close the door on 2025 and step confidently into 2026, the New Year brings more than a change in the calendar—it brings fresh opportunities, renewed goals, and new possibilities in real estate across Central Texas. 2025 was a year of adjustment, learning, and resilience for buyers and sellers alike. Interest rates shifted, inventory evolved, and many families took a more thoughtful approach to major financial decisions. Through it all, one thing remained constant: the desire for stability, ownership, and a place to truly call home. As we move into 2026, that desire is stronger than ever. Reflecting on 2025: A Year of Strategy, Not Speed In 2025, the real estate market rewarded preparation over pressure. Buyers became more educated, sellers more strategic, and transactions more intentional. Gone were the days of rushing into decisions—successful moves were made by those who pl...
