Happy Friday everyone! Like us, you are probably in the chaotic throes of going back to school this week, we are definitely feeling it here at the Scoop! This hot weather still has us in a summer haze, holding onto the last few weeks. Before jumping into the real estate reports, here are a few happenings in the neighborhood.

The last Movie on the Green for the season is tonight! The featured movie is ‘Wakanda Forever” and will be played on the South Green (29th Ave & Roslyn St).

If Movie on the Green isn’t your thing, check out the drone show tonight (8/18!) in celebration of FlyteCo Tower’s One Year Anniversary! Guests can view the aerial display from the Central Park Athletic Fields.

Back to School hours are officially in effect at the pools. Make sure you soak up your remaining pool time through Labor Day.

Thinking of selling this Fall or over the winter? Quick reminder to take your exterior home pictures in the next month while still things are looking amazing!  When we list homes in the winter with snow on the ground and everything is grey, our amazing exterior shots from warmer months with green trees and grass pop off the screen! At Focus Real Estate, we pride ourselves on helping our owners prepare their homes for sale and then we invest in the highest quality pro photos, 360 tours, social media tours and amazing drone footage so your home will stand out. Reach out if you are considering a move!
