Can you wear white after labor day?  According to Emily Post here is their advice.

 

Then

Back in Emily’s day—the nineteen 00s, 10s and 20s—the summer season was bracketed by Memorial Day and Labor Day. Society flocked en masse from town house to seaside “cottage” or mountain “cabin” to escape the heat. City clothes were left behind in exchange for lighter, whiter, summer outfits. Come fall and the return to the city, summer clothes were put away and more formal city clothes donned once more. It was an age when there was a dress code for practically every occasion, and the signal to mark the change between summer resort clothes and clothing worn for the rest of the year was encapsulated in the dictum “No white after Labor Day.” And it stuck

Now

Of course you can wear white after Labor Day, and it makes perfect sense to do so in climates where September’s temperatures are hardly fall-like. It’s more about fabric choice today than color. Even in the dead of winter in northern New England the fashionable wear white wools, cashmeres, jeans, and down-filled parkas. The true interpretation is “wear what’s appropriate—for the weather, the season, or the occasion.”

So the bigger question is can you buy a home after Labor Day?

Of course you can.  After Labor Day might be one of the best times to buy a new home.  There is less competition in trying to buy because most people like to be into their new home before school starts.  More inventory in the market as well.  Prices could be less expensive because most people like to move in the summer time when they have more time off to search, pack and than move.

If you are considering buying a new home now, make sure to get yourself pre-qualified.   You can contact me, Bruce Singer of Vision Home Mortgage at 702-217-5525 or you can click the link on this page.
