December Steve & Jack's Home News

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

We hope you are able to take some time off to spend with friends and family and reflect on everything for which we have to be thankful. It is easy to complain about what we don't have instead of being grateful for what we DO have.

Our family is traveling to Williamsburg, VA to meet up with Brigid's family to celebrate Thanksgiving. This will be the first time we have all been together for Thanksgiving in many years and Williamsburg is a central location for everyone. It is so beautiful for Christmas and we are looking forward to visiting Colonial Williamsburg again. Jack & Mary Anne will be staying in Indy with Michelle and her family and will celebrate together.

THANK YOU to all of our clients who came out yesterday to enjoy Photos with Santa!! We had a great turnout and almost everyone enjoyed sitting with Santa and sharing with him their Christmas list. A couple kiddos weren't quite sure about Santa yet! For those of you who attended, we will be sending out those photos via e-mail later this week. We hope you can join us again next year.

Have you RSVP'd to Kylie (Kylie@Welcome2Indy.com) for our 5th Annual VIP Client Appreciation Movie on Saturday, December 2nd? If not, please do so today with the number of adults and number of children in your group so we can plan accordingly for our food. The fun starts at 8:30AM with registration and continental breakfast. The movie will start promptly at 9:30AM and we should conclude around 11AM. We are back up at the Hamilton 16 IMAX theater at Hamilton Town Center. The movie this year will be the just-released Disney film Coco. Check out the trailer here.

Due to our Photos with Santa and Client Appreciation event as well as the holidays, we will not be hosting our monthly Happy Hour for November or December. We will pick back up again in January on the 17th from 5-6:30PM at Matt The Miller's. The official e-vite will be sent out again next month. We hope you can join us!

Housing numbers for October haven't been released yet, so we will send those out with next month's newsletter. Generally, however inventory is still extremely low and activity in the under $300,000 price range is still brisk, relatively speaking. Historically, our market slows down a bit for the holidays and then picks back up for spring the weekend after Super Bowl (mid-February). There are still quite a few buyers out there looking for houses, so if you are on the market, we are recommending staying on the market over the holidays due solely to higher-than normal demand in a market with historically-low inventory. Call us if you have any questions at all.

Finally, we just launched the first installment of 10 in our New Construction video series. We interviewed 10 different builders from all price ranges and broke down the building process into 10 easy-to-follow interviews (steps) in the building process. We will be adding a new video approximately every month. Feel comfortable sharing these with people you care about who are thinking about building a new home and aren't sure where to begin or how the process works. As always, we are happy to answer any questions at any time. Here is a link to the first video in the series. Please let us know what you think!

Check out December's newsletter here. There are some very interesting and entertaining stories in store for you this month, including one about Warren Buffett. Don't miss out!
