Welcome to Fall!! We love this time of year with cooler temperatures and the beautiful colors (although our summer has been very mild)! We can't forget about football!! Our Irish and Colts are faring quite well so far. We hope you are having fun at some festivals and enjoying nature's pallet changing as well. We have some family traditions during this time of year we would love to share with you. What are your Fall traditions? Here are some of ours:
Headless Horseman at Conner Prairie-Adults are $10-$14 depending on the day, except if you are a member and then admission is FREE! In addition to the feature attraction of the haunted hayride with the headless horseman (non-scary version from 6:30-7:30PM and scary from 7:30-11PM) 10/16-10/19 and 10/23-10/26. There are lots of food tents as well as the Apple Store (our favorite) full of delicious apples and the amazing gourmet apple! There is a catapult launching various things, costume contest, karaoke, mad scientist tent, scary movies being played, play ground is open, slide, instrument play along, and the famous Steven's Puppets Legend of Sleepy Hollow (a must-see, trust me). Hayride time slots usually sell out by 7PM, so get there by 5:30PM at the latest and stand in line until the gates open at 6PM.
Pumpkinfest in Zionsville on 421-open every weekend in October. Tickets are $10/adults and $9/kids. We have gone every year for the past 10 years. The great thing is that almost everything is included in your ticket price, except for food, of course and the pony rides, which are only $5. There is live bluegrass music, a huge slide, milking & lassoing areas, face painting, corn kernel box, petting zoo, hay rides, pumpkin patch, corn maze, a craft and farmer's market, blacksmith & wood carver, trikes, train, and a free pie pumpkin you can take and decorate in the tent. Of course, the absolute BEST thing to get is the famous apple cinnamon donuts! Yum!
Oktoberfest at Traders' Point Creamery-only open one day (last Saturday). Tickets are $8/adults in advance and kids 10 & under are FREE. They have live bands (Polkaboy is outstanding!!), games and crafts, a Biergarten, Sun King truck, Artisan market, hog roast, hayrides, pony rides (extra $), and live milking demonstrations. Very fun!
Renaissance Faire-This is held one weekend in October (the 4th & 5th this year) in Saxony in Fishers and is the largest single weekend event of its kind in the nation! Tickets are $10/adults & $4/kids in advance. There are costumed denizens wandering about, tons of tents with all kinds of period wares to sell, puppet shows, acrobat acts, live music, jousting, sword play, lots of food booths and lots more.
The real estate market continues to change with strong movement in sales price and trailing closed sales. New listings have declined along with pending sales. Sustained job growth, lower mortgage interest rates and slow rise in homes for sale appear to have unleashed some pent-up demand. It is encouraging to see second quarter GDP growth revised upwards to a 4.2 percent annualized rate and stronger-than-expected job growth. Improvements are still needed in wage growth and consumer confidence, but recovery continues. Figures below are taken from MIBOR's August 2014 Market Overview Report:
• New listings DOWN 5.8%
• Pending sales DOWN 0.8%
• Closed sales DOWN 2.9%
• Median sales price UP 5.8% to $146,000
• Average sales price UP 6.7% to $183,433
• Percent of original list price received at sale UP 1.1% to 93.8%
• Total active listing available at month end UP 0.8% to 13,921
• Months supply of inventory UP 4.4% to 5.8 months
Finally, we are so excited to bring back two of our favorite events from last year. You should have already received a postcard in the mail regarding our extremely popular Colts' Ticket Giveaway. We are drawing one lucky winner for 2 Colts tickets 4 rows from the field!! The tickets are for the final home game of the season with division rivals the Houston Texans on December 14th at 1PM. The drawing will take place on December 1st. If you are interested in being entered, please e-mail or call us at Steve@Welcome2Indy.com or 317-573-1880. It should be a great game and fantastic seats!! Good luck!!
Our second event is our annual VIP Client Appreciation Event. Last year was a HUGE success and we are doing it again. You will be receiving a Save The Date card in the next few days and an invitation next month. We are renting out Hamilton Town Center movie theater again on Saturday, December 6th where we will be showing the newly released The Penguins of Madagascar. Our donut & juice bar will open at 9AM followed by the movie screening at 10AM. This is a fun, family-friendly event, so bring the entire family and enjoy a hilarious movie on us. Please RSVP to Steve by December 1st with the number of adult and child tickets requested.
Both of these events are our way of saying THANK YOU for being such fantastic clients, business partners, and referral sources over the years. We are extremely grateful for you and know we wouldn't be where we are without your continued support.
Enjoy the rest of October and we hope to see you at the movies on December 6th and wish you the best of luck in the Colts' tickets drawing.
