4 Real Estate Sales This Week!

As I have mentioned on this blog before, good weather in the winter brings out the buyers. In conjunction with amazing interest rates, this trend should continue in the weeks to come. Our sales were in Meridian Kessler (2), Carmel and Downtown Indianapolis.

Real Estate in Indy is Open for Business!W

What a wonderful job our city did in hosting the Super Bowl! And the game couldn't really have been any better-two great teams and a great matchup. But now, the focus in our fair city will undoubtably turn to real estate. Mortgage rates are below 4% for 30 year loans with Tier 1 credit and even better for 15 year mortgages. FHA loans are also in this territory. Call us today to set up a Client Gateway, or real estate search!

No Open Houses Today, But 4-6 Next Weekend

With the Super Bowl in Indianapolis today, there doesn't seem to be much point in hosting open houses. But look out next weekend because I expect the MacGill Team will host 4-6 homes open next Sunday, the 12th. Barring a blizzard, we will have some great new listings and they should all be open both in Washington Township and Clay Township.

Real Estate May be Helped by This!

Here is some good news from the New York Times!

U.S. Economy Added 243,000 Jobs in January; Unemployment Dips to 8.3% The United States economy gained momentum in January, adding 243,000 jobs, the second straight month of better-than-expected gains, the Labor Department reported on Friday. The unemployment rate fell to 8.3 percent. The promising jobs numbers came as various economic indicators have painted an ambivalent picture of the recovery’s strength.

Happy Groundhog's Day!

Apparently, Punxsutawney Phil came out of his burrow and saw his shadow. If you believe in this sort of thing, it means that there will be six more weeks of winter. This seems a little dubious since the temperatures have been in the 50's all week in Indianapolis. We have been talking to quite a few prospective sellers lately and we expect to be listing a fair number of properties next week-both in Hamilton County and in Marion County.

Great Weather Should Normally Bring the Buyers Out!

This fabulous weather our fair city is experiencing is a welcome respite from the winter. And, it is also welcome for the Super Bowl fans who are converging on Indianapolis, but it is not translating into buyer activity for home purchases. It appears the city is enjoying the fanfare of the Super Bowl and I would expect to see a lot of appointments for showings on homes next week.
