Fall is in the air, and that means fun for everyone—including our real estate agents. That's right: It's time for some of the most brilliant fall foliage anywhere in America!

Upstate New York has acres and acres of forest for leaf peepers to tromp through in search of the perfect fall foliage. From one corner of the state to the other, you'll find plenty of parks to choose from. That includes state, national, and even some wonderful city parks.

In upstate New York, the peak of the fall foliage season varies slightly:

• Adirondack Mountains and Catskills: Last two weeks of September.
• Allegheny Region: Last week of September and the first week of October.
• Finger Lakes Area: First two weeks of October.

Exact dates can vary from year to year, but the best places to enjoy the show remain consistent.

Our real estate agents understand that buying a home can be a complex process. It becomes even more complicated when your plans involve buying a home in a faraway location.

When you purchase a home in a different state, you might have very limited opportunities to tour the neighborhood or even visit the property itself.

Still, many people have found themselves in the position of moving to a different state in a hurry because of a changing job situation. It's often the case they have less than two months to handle all the preparations and move forward – which can be challenging if there's also a house to sell.

It might seem intimidating, but there's a method to the madness! Use this approach and you'll simplify the process of buying property in a different state:

1. Visit the Area
   At least one trip to the area is essential. Without it, you simply don't know what you're getting into. Once you've made your initial trip, contact a real estate agent to discuss your home options.
