We are one month closer to spring!!! Apparently, the real estate market has gotten wind of this and has started 2018 with a BANG! We hope you are staying well, which this year, it seems is more of a challenge than ever!
Thank you to all of our friends, clients, and referral partners for attending our monthly Happy Hour last night at Matt The Miller's. We had a great time and always enjoy seeing you. Please join us for our next Happy Hour on March 21st from 5-6:30PM. We are looking for some sponsors this year as well, so if you are looking to get some additional exposure for your business at a very low cost, please let us know. We are filling spots now.
Our biggest and most exciting news is that we have an addition to our family! We are proud to announce that Julia Hayes has joined our team as a buyer/seller specialist. Julia has helped us several times when we have been out of town and has worked in our office for some time. She worked previously for a builder, so she is acutely aware of the building process and will be a great asset to our clients. Julia grew up in Carmel and swam for their record-setting State Championship Girls Swim Team and then also was a scholarship swimmer for IUPUI. Julia brings so much talent to our team and we are excited to have her helping us deliver an even higher level of service to our clients. Julia lives in Fishers and has two children. Please welcome Julia as you connect with her. Her e-mail is Julia@Welcome2Indy.com.
Kylie is simply amazing and keeps our team running so smoothly. She is the most organized person I know and our clients love how she keeps things on track. She is doing well and so are both of her boys, who keep her busy while not at work.
Jack and Mary Anne are doing great and we are so proud to announce that Mary Anne's knee replacement surgery was a complete success! She is recovering well and has exceeded all of her PT goals. She is walking around pain-free, but still has more work to do on healing before she is back to 100%. She would appreciate any continued thoughts and prayers.
Steve & Brigid are keeping busy, as usual. Brigid is very busy with work, not only doing pharmaceutical sales, but also is her region data analyst for her regional manager, which takes her out of town more often and adds quite a bit to her workload. She enjoys it and the opportunities it is providing. Ana and Tali are both doing great in school. Ana is enjoying singing in the Indianapolis Children's Choir and preparing for their next concert in March. She is also preparing for her 3-week European Tour this summer and has to learn 17-songs on which she is diligently working! Tali has continued to excel in gymnastics with several first-place finishes and is looking forward to going to her first out-of-town meet next weekend. We are all looking forward to a short vacation to Disney leaving today. A little sun and fun will go a long way!
The market is white hot right now with inventory at an all-time low. If you or someone you care about are thinking about moving, please call us. There is a lot of information we can share to educate you about your options, so you make the best decision possible. Check out the January stats from MIBOR comparing January 2018 to January 2017:
New Listings-2,483 units-DOWN 3.8%
Pending Sales-2,216 units-UP 3.1%
Closed Sales-1,901 units-UP 5.3%
Median Sales Price-$158,000-UP 10%
Average Sales Price-$192,732-UP 5.6%
Percent of Original List Price Received at Sale-94.7%-UP 1.3%
Total Active Listings Available at Month End-7,070 units-DOWN 18.4%!!!
Months Supply of Inventory/Absorption Rate-2.3 months-DOWN 20.7%!!!
Look at those last two lines above. Those are HUGE declines in inventory. We need more! Now is the time to sell before interest rates continue to go up. They have increased 50-basis points since January to 4.687%, the fastest increase since January 2006.
Thank you to all of our clients for your reviews on Angie's List!!! We have once again been honored for the 3rd consecutive year as a Super Service Award winner. We have also been honored for the 5th consecutive year as a 5-Star Real Estate Agent. Those are both the Top 5% of agents in the city. Thank you for your reviews and your trust and confidence in us. We will continue to work hard to earn it! Be on the lookout for a new referral-reward program for some cool new prizes!! So, send in those referrals. :-)
Do you like to golf? We are Corporate Partners with Heritage Place, which is a not-for-profit organization that services seniors through education and activities. We have been on the planning committee for the golf outing for 3-years now and sponsor a hole as well. We need more golfers! It is at Broadmoor Country Club on Thursday, June 28th and the fun begins at 9:30AM. It is a scramble, so more fun than serious. This is a private course, so if you have wanted to play, now is the time. Please contact me if you would like more information.
