Fall 2007 home and land sales going strong in the Black Hills of So. Dak.
October 22, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Hello everyone,
I was just thinking about the great Fall weather in our part of the USA. I actually moved away from California and New Mexico because I missed the 4 seasons. Well, the leaves are changing color, the air is getting nice and chilly and I am hoping for a nice long Autumn before the Winter settles in.
Here in the Black Hills, the “mountains” and the millions of pine trees make this part of South Dakota a regular “banana belt” where the snow may come, but it will be gone in 3 or 4 days, unlike the prairie part of the state where snow can stay for weeks and months.
Our real estate market stays strong in the Fall and Winter months as well. Buyers continue to buy homes and land at a rate just under the Spring and Summer months. This may be because of our mild Winters lately. Little snow and abnormally warm temps, probably due to global warming.
Come and experience the tranquil beauty of the Black Hills. If you have never been here, you will enjoy it immensely. If you are returning………….welcome back.
