Planning on looking for a home in the summer heat?

Here are the Top 3 ways to beat the summer heat while looking for a home:

1. Schedule Early Morning or Evening Showings

Avoid the peak heat by booking tours before 11 AM or after 5 PM. Not only is it cooler, but homes show better in softer natural light, and you’ll stay more comfortable while walking through properties.

2. Dress Cool and Comfortable

Wear light, breathable clothing and comfortable shoes—especially if you’re walking through multiple homes, yards, or even new construction sites without air conditioning. Don’t forget sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen.

3. Bring a Cooling Kit

Pack a small cooler with cold water bottles, damp towels, and even a handheld fan or mini mister. You’ll stay refreshed between showings and keep your focus on what matters, finding the right home, not fighting the heat.
