Articles about Fall or Autumn

Autumn, also known as Fall in North American English, is one of the four temperate seasons.

Outside the tropics, autumn marks the transition from summer to winter, in September (Northern Hemisphere) or March (Southern Hemisphere), when the duration of daylight becomes noticeably shorter and the temperature cools considerably.

Day length decreases and night length increases as the season progresses until the Winter Solstice in December (Northern Hemisphere) and June (Southern Hemisphere).

One of its main features in temperate climates is the striking change in color for the leaves of deciduous trees as they prepare to shed.

5 Heating-Season Checks Worth Doing Now Heating 5 Heating-Season Checks Worth Doing Now
 
Heating season has a way of exposing the little things that were easy to ignore all summer. 🔧
 
Five checks worth doing now:
 
1️⃣ Check or change the filter — if your heating system has one, follow the replacement schedule in the owner's manual
 
2️⃣ Book service if it's due — it's better to find a small problem during a routine visit than during a no-heat call
 
3️⃣ Find the drafts — doors, windows, the attic hatch, anywhere pipes come through a wall. Weather stripping and a tube of caulk go a long way
 
4️⃣ Review the thermostat schedule — make sure it still matches when you're home, asleep, and away
 
5️⃣ Reverse the ceiling fans, if yours have a winter setting — clockwise on low helps circulate warm air back into the room
 
A short check now helps your heating system work the way it's supposed to all season.
 
Which one is still on your list? Let us know in the comments.

When Selling Is Simply the Better Move If you've When Selling Is Simply the Better Move

If you've been weighing whether to keep the house and rent it out, it's worth hearing the other side: plenty of the time, selling is the clearer call.
 
You need equity. If the down payment on the next home depends on this one's proceeds, that usually settles it. Stretching to carry two mortgages is where this decision goes wrong most often.
The numbers don't work. Rent that doesn't cover the carrying costs, with no strong case for appreciation, is a monthly subsidy to a house you no longer live in.
 
The house needs work. Deferred maintenance, an aging roof, old systems. Tenants don't defer those costs — they surface them.
 
Your home sells well right now. A softer headline market doesn't mean your specific house is sitting.
 
You don't want the job. Being a landlord is ongoing work, not a one-time decision. Plenty of owners run the numbers, see a decent hold on paper, and sell anyway because they'd rather have a clean break and a simpler life.
 
Keeping the house isn't a free option. It just doesn't come with a monthly bill that makes the cost obvious.
