Back to school. Whether you have kids or grandkids going back to school or know someone who does, you know this is a busy time of the year for families coming off of an ever-shorter summer and trying to get back into the swing of the school year routine. We hope that you have been able to take some time off this summer to enjoy family and friends and find some downtime to recharge.
Our family is no different. Ana is back in school as an 8th grader and just started back with Indianapolis Children's Choir for another year. If you haven't ever seen a concert they have hosted, consider making some time this coming season to take one in. It is probably the best value you will get. These kids are simply amazing and are probably one of the very best children's choirs in the world. Check out their website here and some cool videos. Ana is also taking up ballet and seems to really enjoy it. After the Indiana Ballet Conservancy made a guest appearance at a concert earlier this year, she has been entranced.
Natalia is still neck deep in competitive gymnastics and has moved up a level this year. She is practicing several times/week still to master her apparatuses and she would practice 7-days/week, if we let her!
Both girls joined Brigid's parents at their home in St. Pete, Florida for a week just before school started. They had a great time and we were able to enjoy a date night every night of the week, which was so nice.
Brigid & I are still staying busy with work. Brigid continues to take on more and more responsibility at Merck, and, although challenging, she loves the opportunity. We are so proud of her!
Jack & Mary Anne enjoyed some time in Tennessee playing golf and taking in the beautiful scenery as well as a couple of shows. They love it down there.
Kylie is in Vegas for the week at a family wedding. We hope she enjoys some much-deserved time off and has some luck with her at the slots.
Julia has been neck-deep in back-to-school activities with her kids as well. She continues to be such an asset to our team in helping our clients.
We have encountered the usual back-to-school slow-down in the real estate market. After a white-hot spring and summer, we are seeing a significant reduction in buyer activity, which leaves sellers frustrated after the unreal activity just a few short weeks ago. This happens every year, but is frustrating nonetheless. Below are some stats from MIBOR for July 2018 vs. July 2017.
New Listings-UP 8.0% to 4,473 units
Pending Sales-UP 24.9% to 3,765 units
Closed Sales-UP 7.0% to 3,702 units
Median Sales Price-UP 6.3% to $180,254
Average Sales Price-UP 6.2% to $222,246
Percent of Original List Price Received at Sale-UP 0.9% to 97.2%
Total Active Listings Available at Month End-DOWN 19.8% to 7,720 units
Months Supply of Inventory-DOWN 21.9% to 2.5 months (this is up from 2.2 months in May)
