Who doesn't love a relaxing weekend drive? Whether you've got a car packed full with family or you're taking your motorcycle on the open road, cruising around the Beavercreek area is the perfect way to get some fresh air and discover the hidden gems around town. Here are a few drives near Dayton that our REALTORS® think you'll enjoy on a sunny, Sunday afternoon.

• Miami & Erie Canal Scenic Byway
  A 50-mile stretch running north to south, the Miami & Erie Canal Scenic Byway can be enjoyed starting in Piqua and heading north to Delphos. One of the highlights of this jaunt is passing by Lake Loramie State Park, a perfect place to pull over and rest for lunch. We love this route because it offers an opportunity to explore fantastic off-the-beaten-path places like the city of St. Marys. Because the route was constructed parallel to the Miami & Erie Canal, there are plenty of opportunities for boaters, nature-lovers, and fishermen to enjoy the waterways surrounding the byway.

As you're preparing your home for sale, you'll need to make sure it's in good condition for potential buyers. Your roof will be inspected before the sale, so if it has problems, it's easier to detect them in advance and decide what to do about them. In some cases, repairs won't be effective enough and your roof might need replacing this summer. This could make your home much more attractive to potential home buyers, since they're unlikely to want to buy a home with roofing issues compared to other Beavercreek homes for sale.
 
Our REALTORS® suggest looking for these five signs your roof might need replacing this summer before you put your home on the market:

1. Your roof is near the end of its lifespan.
   With proper installation, care, and maintenance, a roof can last for decades. However, even under the best of circumstances, it can't last forever. Your roof's longevity depends partially on the material that it's made from. Asphalt shingles, for example, last about 20 to 25 years if it's the only layer of roofing material. If it was installed over an existing layer of shingles, it should be replaced at least every 20 years.

Some homeowners relish house cleaning. It can be invigorating and a good way to clear your head. Other homeowners prefer to ignore the dust bunnies and pretend the oven is self-cleaning. But every homeowner could use a system to determine what areas need cleaning and how often they need care. Washing dishes or vacuuming seem fairly easy, but there are some cleaning chores that should be done regularly, if not as often. If your home is to stand out among the Beavercreek homes for sale, open your calendar and find a spot for the following chores on your schedule soon. 

1. Launder your living room. If your throw pillows have removable covers, remove and clean them according to the directions on the label. Remove the couch cushions and vacuum up any dust or crumbs that may have fallen between the cushions. Inspect all upholstery for stains. The University of Missouri Extension office has a guide to stain removal for all washable fabrics. Spot clean rugs and carpets. You may also wish to rent a carpet cleaner.
