Connexa Real Estate May 8, 2025
The first day of summer is just around the corner, June 20th to be exact! Here in Harrisonburg, that means longer days, warmer nights, and front porch sitting with sweet tea in hand. But summer isn't just for pool days and backyard barbecues, it’s also a great season to think about your home, whether you’re planning to buy, sell, or simply settle in for the sunny months ahead.
Here are a few things to keep in mind as we head into the heart of summer in the Friendly City:
If you’ve been on the fence about putting your home on the market, summer might be your perfect window. Curb appeal peaks when lawns are green, gardens are blooming, and natural light is pouring through your windows. Plus, families often want to move before the next school year starts.
At Connexa, we know the Harrisonburg market inside and out, and we can help you make the most of that summer magic. Whether it’s staging your front porch or scheduling showings when your home looks its best, we’ve got your back.
Summer is a great time for a little TLC around the house. Small updates like pressure washing your siding, refreshing mulch beds, or adding a few pots of colorful flowers can go a long way. And if you're not moving anytime soon? A cozy hammock, new patio lights, or a fire pit might be all you need to turn your backyard into your own personal retreat.
Summer is a busy season in real estate, but that also means more homes are hitting the market. With our rolling Blue Ridge views and walkable neighborhoods, Harrisonburg has something for everyone, from downtown condos to family-friendly cul-de-sacs.
Pro tip: Go to open houses in the evening to get a feel for how a home “lives” during those long summer nights.
One of the reasons we love helping people find homes in Harrisonburg? This town comes alive in the summer. From Friday night music at Court Square to local produce at the Farmers Market, summer is when our community truly shines.
