Autumn is officially upon us. There are a number of reasons people are fond over the season from hayrides, chilly days with warm soup, and football weekend. You can't forget the plus of enjoying pumpkin flavored anything! But, it's not just the cooler temperature that should get you excited. House hunting can be very successful in the fall, as autumn proves to be a great time to buy a new home in Ohio. So, why is fall the best time to buy a house?
Although there may be a little less inventory, those in the market are serious about selling their home before the holidays, otherwise, they would wait until spring. A motivated seller brings the potential of negotiating offering prices. Fall also brings a lower competition from other interested buyers, giving you an advantage of having first dibs on a home.
Previously mentioned, fall comes with lower competition in the real estate market. This means you will not feel rushed during the home buying process, having more time to look and attend open houses. This also allows an appropriate timing for negotiating a great deal for a price that suits your needs, without the worry of competing against multiple buyers.
Moving during the Autumn often means paying slightly less than usual. Due to it being the off season for real estate, pricing is less competitive as homeowners are looking to sell fast before the holidays. To add to this, homeowners who list their home during the fall and winter months are usually on a timeline, making them a motivated seller.

When working with a smaller sized house, it's smart to be conscious of your space and make use of every square inch. It is possible to be clever and have both a desk and bed co-exist comfortably in an office that is shared as a guest room. If you find yourself not wanting to fully devote your spare bedroom into a single use space, learn how to make this room as functional as possible.
A modern sleeper sofa is perfect to incorporate into an office space, giving a cozy couch appearance by day and functional bed by night. When it's not in use as a bed, the couch makes for a great spot to catch up on reading or taking a break from office work.
If you find yourself with limited space for a sleeper sofa, try a daybed for a less bulky option. A daybed is ideal for creating a casual spot for relaxation due to their low profile design, while still providing guests a space to sleep.
Perhaps you find yourself not using the office space as frequently as anticipated. If this is the case, consider using the space mostly as a spare bedroom with a smaller work area. A twin or full sized bed is perfect sizing for a guest room that has limited space.
