Happy Halloween! It is hard to believe it is almost November and the Trick-or-Treaters will be here on Monday. We hope you have had a fun Fall season so far and are looking forward to the upcoming holidays.
Jack and Mary Anne are doing well. Mary Anne just had surgery earlier this week to remove her parathyroid glands. She is recovering well and the doctor feels that she will be pretty much back to normal next week.
Steve's nephew Caleb has had a rough go of it lately with breaking the growth plate in his ankle and having to have surgery. He is home recovering, but will be missing over a week of school as well as soccer. His Aunt Mary arranged to have Indy Eleven player Duke Lacroix visit Caleb at home to lift his spirits. Duke was extremely gracious with his time to Caleb and even brought his jersey signed by the entire team! Thank you, Indy Eleven and Duke for your grace and generosity! What a class organization!
Did you go somewhere for Fall Break? If so, we hope you had fun and were able to relax and enjoy time with family. As many of you know, Jack and Mary Anne take Steve & his family as well as Michelle and her family on a trip each year to one of their timeshares. This year they took Steve & his family to Orlando and spent a week at Disney. Disney is one of our favorite places to go, but it is no relaxing vacation, that is for sure! The crowds weren't bad and the weather was fantastic! This is our favorite time of the year to go due to the mild weather, lower crowds, Food & Wine Festival at EPCOT, and Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. What a blast!!!
Steve & Brigid also took the Backstage Magic tour for the first time and went behind the scenes at EPCOT, Magic Kingdom, toured the laundry facility (very impressive!), toured the costuming building, went through one of the prop houses as well as the maintenance facility and also walked through some of the Utilidor tunnels (very cool!). We HIGHLY recommend this tour if you have time the next time you visit. Kids are not allowed as secrets are revealed, but that was the favorite part of the trip for Steve & Brigid.
Kylie has exciting news to share in that she just purchased her first home last month & is pregnant and due at the end of March!!! We are so excited for her, but will dearly miss her while she is on maternity leave. We are looking for someone who can fill in for Kylie until her return in May as that is our busy season. If you know of someone who has a real estate license and would be willing to fill in for 8-weeks, please let Steve know-Steve@Welcome2Indy.com.

October during a presidential election year is always slow for real estate and this year is no different. However, our market is still heavily in a sellers' market. Typically, we have a slow October and then we have a busier-than-usual winter. If you or someone you care about are thinking about moving, please call us, so we can learn more about your situation and offer customized advice to help you make the best, most informed decision possible. Below are some stats from MIBOR comparing September 2016 to 2015:
New Listings-UP 6% to 3,617 houses
Pending Sales-UP 0.1% to 2,695 houses
Closed Sales-UP 14.7% to 3,196 houses
Median Sales Price-UP 8.4% to $159,900
