It’s almost Halloween, so here are our top five Rochester horror stories.

Parking at the Public Market on a Saturday. Abbott’s flipping to closed for the season. The sun leaving town every November. Wegmans when snow is in the forecast. And pothole season.

If you live here, you felt that. If you’re thinking about moving here, consider this fair warning with a side of charm.

Tell us the one we missed.

Comment FALL and we’ll send you our free 2026 Rochester Fall Guide, which is the antidote to at least two of these.

We’re Chelse,MK, Ben & Adam with The Homebodies Team (The Homebodies Team | Rochester NY Real Estate Agents), your Rochester real estate team laughing at the things that make this place ours.

🥧 Consider this your official pie warning.

Something sweet is coming to your inbox, and no, it’s not another real estate market update. 😉

We’re getting ready for our annual pie giveaway as a little thank-you to the people who make what we do possible: our past clients, our referral MVPs, and everyone who’s trusted us to help their people find their way home.

And if you’re wondering whether there’s still time to make the list? Absolutely.

When you send a friend, family member, or coworker our way for their real estate needs, you’re helping our business grow in a way that means the world to us. We never take that trust lightly.

So keep an eye on your email, spread the word, and stay tuned for the sweet details.

Around here, referrals are sweet. Pie is sweeter. 🥧

Love,
Your Homebodies

P.S. You’ll also be supporting Special Touch Bakery. Do good, eat good.

You don’t need the perfect house. You need the right first step.
The perfect house gets you started and stalls you there. The one at the top of your budget feels fine until month six. The house that checks every box usually misses the few that matter.

What you want is a place that fits the life you’re actually living, and a plan that leaves you certain and informed instead of rushed.

We’ve been in enough Rochester living rooms to know which real estate advice has aged badly.

So we ranked three pieces we still hear all the time. Fix everything before you list. Price it high so you can always come down. Wait until the market is perfect.

Each one sounds reasonable. Each one costs people time or money. Swipe to see why.

Save this for the next time someone at a family dinner offers a strategy.

We were told to keep these to ourselves. We lasted about a week.

Chelse and I are the friends who text each other the good stuff before we’ve even finished our coffee. A c***r spot with fire pits. A cruise at golden hour. A planetarium show on a Saturday night. We can’t gatekeep. It’s a medical condition.

So here’s what’s happening in Rochester this weekend, Oct 9–11:

🍂 Riverie Cruises, c***r & donuts by day, skyline at sunset
🍎 Blue Barn Cidery in Hilton, with fire pits and live music
🎃 Wickham Farms Fall Harvest Festival (stay for the 4:30 candy cannon)
🧸 The Strong Museum, with sensory-friendly entry Sunday morning
🌌 RMSC Planetarium
🎻 RPO plays Peer Gynt at Kodak Hall
🖼 A slow Sunday at the Memorial Art Gallery
🎶 Cordancia Chamber at First Unitarian

Swipe through for dates, times, and addresses. Save this one so you have a plan for the weekend.

And this is only a sliver of what’s coming. Our full fall guide has the rest of the season: the spots, the events, and the things we’d rather not tell everyone about.

DM us, and we’ll send it your way. ↓

Buffalo gets a lot of hype, but Rochester has the stuff that actually makes people stay.

It’s the porches on Park Avenue built for sitting, a Saturday at the Public Market that doubles as your weekend plan, and a commute that barely counts. Details you’d miss within a week of leaving.

You can compare two cities on paper all day. Living here makes its own argument.

Swipe through for the reasons Rochester wins this one for us.

And if you want even more local spots and seasonal plans, we’ve got a bigger list ready. Comment FALL and we’ll send you our free 2026 Rochester Fall Guide with local events, seasonal favorites, and things worth adding to your calendar.

We are Homebodies Team: Chelse, MK, Ben + Adam (The Homebodies Team | Rochester NY Real Estate Agents), Rochester real estate agents sharing the places, routines, and little things that make living here so good.

What a Senior Real Estate Specialist in Rochester, NY Actually Does

Selling a home you have lived in for thirty or forty years is not the same transaction as selling a starter home in Gates. The house holds more equity, more belongings, and more history. The decision usually involves adult children, sometimes a financial advisor, and often a timeline set by health rather than by the market. A senior real estate specialist exists because that combination deserves a different process, not just a different brochure....

What an SRES actually does in Monroe County: senior tax breaks, capital gains rules, and the sequence that makes a senior home move manageable.
