Happy Independence Day!!!
We hope you are planning to enjoy some fun festivities over the next week. With the dry weather, it is making personal fireworks' displays more and more dangerous. Should you decide to enjoy some personal fireworks at home, PLEASE be extra careful since the grass is so dry, it can ignite with the smallest of sparks. Have a hose and bucket of water nearby.
We always enjoy attending the Carmel Parade, fair and fireworks show each year. It is always well-organized and has so many entrants in the parade it lasts about two hours! With the heat, it will be interesting to see how long we last.
It goes without saying how thankful, grateful, and appreciative we are of our servicemen and women who have fought for our freedom we have enjoyed for over 200 years now. Freedom certainly isn't free. Thank you to everyone who has sacrificed for each of us to live as we do-servicemen and women, their families, and their friends. We are forever grateful and could never adequately convey that gratefulness through any words, so THANK YOU will have to suffice...
Our family is anxiously awaiting the start of the Olympics. We enjoy watching it every year. What a fantastic show of true sportsmanship and coming together as a global community to support our athletes and nations.
Brigid just finished a HUGE project in re-finishing a dresser and bunk bed for Ana. She didn't just re-finish it, but also added bead board, trim, and decorations. In addition, she built, yes built from scratch by herself a desk for Ana complete with a bookcase, drawers, and a hutch over the desk with lighting, bead board, trim, and routed all of the corners. It looks amazing!!! I am so proud of her!
Ana and Natalia are attending summer camp at Maple Glen this year and they both absolutely love it!! It is a great program and we have been so pleased with how well-organized it is. As an update to Natalia and her potty training, she is pretty much potty trained and has very few accidents. We are so excited and appreciate all of the suggestions you sent last month. Thank you!!
As for the market, it continues to improve. Indy was named again as the Most Affordable City in the Nation! Our Hamilton County Schools are all ranked in the Top 10 in the state. Closed sales are up 15.8%, pending sales are up 9.1%, new listings are down 1.7%, median sales price is up 6.1%, % of original list price received at sale is up 0.3%, months supply of inventory is DOWN 20.3%!! Every single one of these statistics is OUTSTANDING! Interest rates today for a 30-year fixed conventional loan is around 3.687%! If you have a rate in the 4.5% or higher range, you would do good to talk with a lender to see if it makes sense to re-finance. If you needs some names of some great lenders in the area, please let me know.
