Happy National Coffee Day on September 29, 2025! This day celebrates our love for coffee with free brews from places like Dunkin' and Starbucks, plus a nod to sustainable practices. But did you know coffee shops also perk up the real estate market?

In 2025, the U.S. housing market is cooling slightly, with mortgage rates around 5.5% and flat home sales. Inventory is low, but buyers have more negotiating power. Here's where coffee comes in: homes near coffee shops often see higher value increases—up to 96% over time—because they signal vibrant, walkable neighborhoods.

So, as you sip your latte this National Coffee Day, consider how that cozy café could boost your property's worth. What's your favorite coffee spot? Share below or Send me a text @ Erica Lawton, Epique Realty, Realtor. 715-495-0456
