Happy August and the impending end of summer. We hope you have enjoyed some time away and maybe were able to take a vacation or two.
Thank you to everyone who attended our Happy Hour last week at Matt The Miller's!! We had a great turnout and everyone had a good time-free drinks and food certainly didn't hurt! If you haven't been able to attend, please make plans now as we would love to see you. The next Happy Hour is Wednesday, August 19th from 5-6:30PM at Matt The Miller's in Carmel. Look for your Evite soon!
We have had a fantastic registration for the Colts' tickets! As many of you noticed, there was a typo on the postcard in the e-mail address to register. The correct e-mail is Kylie@Welcome2Indy.com. If you haven't registered yet, you still have time, so don't delay and do it today! The tickets are fantastic seats, so be sure and register for your chance to win!
Steve, Brigid, Ana, & Tali took their summer trip to Acadia National Park in July along with Brigid's brother Jim and his wife and daugher. We had an amazing time! Acadia National Park is located on Desert Island in Bar Harbour, Maine. We stayed in cabins that were only 1-year old with a toilet, sink, and shower with hot water. For this Eagle Scout, that is not really camping, but 'glamping', as I call it. For Brigid, it was seriously roughing it! She did great and cooked her first meal over a fire. We enjoyed riding our bikes and hiking in the park, walking around downtown Bar Harbour, going on a lobster/seal cruise, sea life cruise, and whale watching cruise. The water was a cool 55-degrees, so we didn't swim, but it was worth it.
We stopped by Penn State where Ana wants to go to school as they have the best broadcast meteorology program in the nation; the flagship LL Bean store, which was massive and most impressive; and then also Kennebunk, Maine for a couple of days, which is adjacent to Kennebunkport, where the Bushes live. We rode by their impressive compound and saw Bush senior was there and watched the fireworks on the beach. While not a warm, beach vacation, we would highly recommend going as we saw some amazing vistas and wildlife.
The real estate market has been hot in some areas and slow in others. It just depends on area and price range. Here are some stats:
New listings-UP 3.7%
Pending sales-UP 8.1%
Closed sales-UP 17.6%
Median sales price-UP 5.3% to $158,000
Average sales price-UP 3.1% to $194,259
% of original list price received at sale-UP 0.6% to 94.9%
Total active listing available at month-end-DOWN 5.9%
Months' supply of inventor-DOWN 12.3% to 4.9 months
As you can see, our market, as a whole is very strong and in a sellers' market. If you know of anyone thinking about selling their house, please give us a call with their contact info, so we can consult with them about their options.
Have a great rest of the summer and good luck in the Colts' ticket drawing!
