Buying a cottage in fall
- Fall viewings show you what spring photos hide: how the property drains after rain, how much light reaches the cottage once the sun is lower, and whether the road is being maintained.
- Ask the seller when the cottage was last opened and closed for the season, and who did the work. Winterizing records tell you a lot about how it has been cared for.
- Many sellers who listed in summer and did not sell are open to offers now, before they pay another winter of carrying costs.
