Whether you’re exploring local events, getting your home ready for the cooler weather, or searching for your next dream property — there’s something for everyone this season.

🌆 Fun October Events Around NKY & Cincinnati

There’s no shortage of fall festivities to enjoy this month. Here are a few local favorites worth adding to your calendar:

🍂 BLINK Cincinnati – The city’s signature art and light festival takes over 30+ city blocks with glowing murals, projections, and music. It’s one of the largest light shows in the country and an absolute must-see!
🔦 America’s River Roots Festival (Oct 8-12) – A celebration along the Ohio Riverfront with live music, food trucks, and culture stretching from downtown Cincinnati to Northern Kentucky’s river towns.
🎃 Fall Festivals Galore – From hayrides to corn mazes, the NKY & Cincinnati region comes alive with local farm events, pumpkin patches, and Trunk-or-Treats. Check out community favorites like Neltner’s Farm, Country Pumpkins, and Cincinnati Nature Center’s Fall Foliage Hikes.
👻 Halloween Happenings – Neighborhood block parties, haunted tours, and historic walks pop up across Boone, Kenton, and Campbell Counties all month long.

Fall is about connection — and these community events are a great way to enjoy local life while exploring the neighborhoods you love (or might soon call home!).

🛠️ Fall Home Maintenance Tips for Sellers & Buyers

Cooler temperatures make this the perfect time to check off some essential home tasks before winter sets in.

For Sellers:
If you’re planning to list or keep your home market-ready, these updates go a long way:

• Clear out gutters and downspouts to prevent water buildup and roof damage.

• Inspect your roof for missing shingles or leaks — buyers (and inspectors) notice.

• Seal any gaps around doors and windows to improve efficiency and comfort.

• Refresh your curb appeal — rake leaves, tidy the lawn, and add a few mums for color.

• Have your furnace serviced and test smoke/CO detectors. A “move-in ready” impression can make all the difference.

For Buyers:

• When touring homes, take advantage of the season — you’ll easily spot drafty windows, roof wear, or drainage issues.

• Ask sellers for maintenance records to understand the home’s care history.

• Plan your first-month checklist: change filters, inspect weather-stripping, and clean the fireplace before use.

• Focus on properties that show pride of ownership — fall upkeep reveals a lot about how well a home’s been maintained.

A little preparation now means fewer surprises later — and a cozier winter ahead.
