🍂 The Oklahoma Homeowner’s Guide to Fall

Hey friends — it’s Alaina! 👋
I don’t know about you, but once August rolls around, I start dreaming of crisp mornings, cozy sweaters, and pumpkin spice everything. But before we jump headfirst into fall fun, it’s a great time to give your home a little seasonal TLC. 🍁

Here in Oklahoma, the weather can be a little unpredictable (to say the least). One day it’s 95°, the next it’s sweatshirt weather. That’s why early fall is the perfect window to check in on a few key things around the house. Whether you’re thinking about selling soon or just want to keep your home in top shape, these quick steps will help you enjoy the season without any surprise “uh-oh” moments.

1. Give Your HVAC Some Love

Cooler temps are coming, which means your heater is about to clock in for the season. Schedule a tune-up now so you’re not stuck in a chilly house when the first cold snap hits. Bonus: A well-maintained system is a big plus for buyers down the road!

2. Check Your Roof & Gutters

Oklahoma storms can be rough on shingles, and clogged gutters lead to water issues you do not want. A quick inspection now can save you major headaches later — and it’s way easier than trying to fix a problem in the middle of a November rainstorm.

3. Cozy Up Your Curb Appeal

Fall colors make everything feel extra welcoming! Swap out summer flowers for mums, add a fresh wreath to the front door, and maybe even a pumpkin or two. Little touches go a long way in making your home feel like “the one” to future buyers.

4. Test Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detectors

With more baking, candles, and heaters running, it’s extra important to make sure these are in working order. It’s quick, easy, and keeps your home safe.

5. Prep Outdoor Spaces for Cooler Nights

Clean the grill, sweep off the patio, and get those fire pits ready. Fall evenings are perfect for s’mores and stargazing — and a well-kept outdoor space can help buyers picture themselves living there.

Fall is such a cozy, wonderful season here in Oklahoma, and keeping your home in tip-top shape helps you enjoy every minute of it — whether you’re staying put or planning your next move.
