As we gear up for the weekend, a gentle reminder: this Sunday, March 10th, marks the time to “spring forward” and set our clocks ahead by an hour. While we bid farewell to sixty precious minutes of sleep, let’s welcome the promise of brighter evenings and the joys of extended daylight.
1 – Home Projects – If you are wanting to start a backyard project, paint a spare bedroom, or do some DIY furniture projects, then this extra hour of daylight in the evenings might be just the thing you need to get it done. If you are considering selling your house, KALEO agents always tell their clients to talk to them first before embarking on a big renovation project. If you are doing repairs/remodels in the hopes of selling for more money and recouping the cost, then you and a KALEO agent definitely should talk! There is not always a one-to-one relationship between remodels and your return on investment when you go to sell.
2 – Neighborhood Safety – With more daylight in the evening, there may be more runners, walkers, joggers, and kids playing in the neighborhood. Make sure to drive slowly and be aware of your surroundings especially in those first few days after “Spring Forward” when you might be a little sleep deprived.
3 – Community Events – The return of Farmer’s Markets and community events are a great way to enjoy the spring and summer. Downtown Glendora has their annual Wine & Beer Walk on Saturday, March 16th, and the San Dimas Farmer’s Market starts up again in April. What’s your favorite local event?
4 – Real Estate activity heats up – As temperatures rise, so does real estate activity. The longer days often bring a surge in buying and selling homes. Pro tip: consider making your move before the Spring rush to capitalize on favorable market conditions. While COVID may have reshaped the real estate landscape, early Spring remains an opportune time to list or make offers.
