Fall In Love With Peterborough Real Estate! 🎃

As October paints Peterborough in shades of orange and gold, the city comes alive with cozy charm — riverside walks, pumpkin patches, and the faint scent of woodsmoke in the air. But autumn isn’t just about the scenery; it’s also one of the best times of year to make a move in real estate.

🍁 Why Fall Works for Buyers

Fewer buyers means less competition and more negotiating power. Sellers who listed in summer are often ready to deal before winter. Plus, fall weather reveals how a home truly performs — you’ll spot drainage issues, drafts, or roof problems before snow hides them.

🏡 Why Fall Works for Sellers

Peterborough homes shine against the fall colours. Add a few pumpkins and mums to your porch, and you’ve got instant curb appeal. Cooler weather also makes fireplaces, insulation, and energy efficiency standout selling points.

đŸ•Żïž Avoid Real Estate Frights

Before buying a home with an “in-law suite,” confirm it’s a legal secondary unit. Peterborough requires proper permits, fire separations, and egress windows for rental suites — skipping those can turn your investment into a real-life horror story.

đŸ‘» Local October Events

Make the most of spooky season while you house-hunt or prep your listing:

  • Pumpkinfest at Buckhorn Berry Farm – Every weekend in October, 11 am–5 pm (3055 Berrie Rd, Lakefield). Pumpkin picking, mazes, haunted hallway & wagon rides.

  • All Hallows’ Eve at Lang Pioneer Village – Oct 24–25, 6 pm–9 pm (104 Lang Rd, Keene). Ghostly graveyards, witches’ lairs, wagon rides & stories.

  • Paranormal Investigation at Lang Pioneer Village – Oct 17, 6 pm–11 pm. A guided ghost hunt through Peterborough’s most historic buildings.
