Month of May....Racing into Real Estate Sales





I’ve been a little busy which is a GOOD THING! In addition to selling houses, I ran and finished my second EVER half-marathon the Indianapolis Mini-Marathon (13.1 miles!!) on May 7. The weather was actually perfect running weather and it was actually pretty painless this year. Next year, I promised my fiancĂ© that we can go to the Kentucky Derby instead (they usually fall on the same Saturday in May). The mini marathon is actually the kick off to all the May festivities leading up to the Indianapolis 500.


The month of May is always very busy in Real Estate. I have been very busy w/ buyers and sellers. You may be hearing on the news that the prices are down compared to one year ago. That is true BUT the inventory is down as well…a lot! In fact, inventory is down double digits in some areas. I can certainly attest to low inventory. I have been out with buyers and we are having trouble finding what we are looking for. For sellers, it’s still considered a buyer’s market…low rates, lots of deals, etc. BUT with a well-priced home that is staged/merchandised well – your home will sell!! I have also been running into multi offer situations…which is lovely and a sign of an improving market. When inventory or Supply is down, prices should go up….we are hopeful that rising prices are right around the corner. IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW IS THINKING OF MAKING A MOVE – CALL ME –THE TIME IS NOW!!!
