July 2013 Steve & Jack's Home News

We hope your summer has been going well. You have probably heard and/or read by now that the real estate market is RED HOT! We have certainly seen that to be true on the north side of Indy as well, which is why we have been slow in getting our July newsletter out. Due to increased demand and very low supply, some houses are selling in HOURS. There are many factors influencing which houses sell that quickly while others do not, but if you or someone you care about are curious about the housing market, please give us a call so we can consult about your options.

In July, Brigid and I took a vacation we had been planning for 3 years to celebrate our 10-year wedding anniversary. Jack & Mary Anne watched Ana & Talia so we could truly relax. Thank you, mom & dad!!! We chose to spend 5 days and 4 nights in Montego Bay, Jamaica at a Hilton all-inclusive resort-using HHonors points we had been saving. While I had visited Jamaica long ago as a kid, we went to a totally different area of the island and Brigid had never been before. Neither of us had been to an all-inclusive resort before, either.

Needless to say, it was a fantastic time and we had amazing weather! We enjoyed the pools, live bands at night, laying out on the beach, and I read my first 'enjoyable' book for the first time in years. We ate dinner at 8:30-9:00PM each night and dined al fresco. The stars were amazing and the water crashing onto the beach was therapeutic-so was the couples massage in which we indulged ourselves one day. The staff at the hotel were absolutely amazing and all were very intent on making sure we were having a great time.

I surprised Brigid with a 10-year anniversary ring, which she absolutely loves. My plans to re-propose to her on the beach were washed away with the high tide, so the beach chair had to suffice. We would highly recommend going if you get the chance.

I'm curious, what all-inclusive resorts have you visited and would you go again? Please let me know as we would love to go again down the road.

In next month's newsletter, I will share our very scary return home-something we have never before experienced and hope to never experience again...

Enjoy the rest of the summer, cool though it may be, and THANK YOU for your continued business and loyalty. We are truly grateful!
