eing the season when the weather starts to cool, animals stock for hibernation, and farmers harvest, autumn has drawn an interesting range of meanings and symbolism. Some of these symbolic meanings of autumn include maturity, change, preservation, abundance, wealth, reconnection, and balance.
October celebrates many holidays. Yom kippur, landing on October 5th, the holiest of holidays in Judaism. Observed on the 10th day of the lunar month of Tishri (in the course of September and October), when Jews seek to expiate their sins and achieve reconciliation. Famous for its beautiful melody, the Kol Nidre is a declaration annulling all vows made during the course of the year.
Diwali, or Dipawali, celebrated this year on October 24th. This is India's biggest and most important holiday of the year. Diwali literally means a row of Lights. It is a time filled with light and love; a time when Indians all over the world rejoice. The festival gets its name from the row (avali) of clay lamps (deepa) that Indians light outside their homes to symbolize the inner light that protects.
Celebrated on October 31st, Halloween. The tradition originated with the ancient Celtic festival when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. All Hallows Eve, also now known as Halloween is amongst the most recognizable American festivals globally. Adults dress up for costume parties, and children enjoy trick or treating and can carve their own Jack-O-Lanterns. Many Halloween-themed events, festivals, and haunts are held throughout the month this kicks of the first of many treasured and fun holidays to celebrate this time of year!

Financial and real estate markets have run in cycles for at least hundreds of years. Though varying in their details, causes, and effects, there are many similarities in how they plan out, providing greater context to how markets work over time.
Many economic, political, demographic, and environmental factors play roles in real estate markets, including interest rates, inflation, financial markets, new wealth creation or destruction, housing affordability, employment demographic shifts, governmental economic interventions, national and international crisis, financial product engineering and manipulation, runaway speculation, regulation and risk management, tax law, debt, natural disasters, and as we have recently seen, even pandemic.
