We are in a price war and a beauty contest. I want you all to know we’re still selling homes quickly and right on the money. Full price offers…the whole bit. We got almost 90 buyer leads last week! People are buying houses! That’s good news. Keep in mind that our market is intolerant of a home that’s difficult to show ("Can you come tomorrow? Today isn’t a good day for me to show the home…") or improper pricing.

Please read the lastest article in Journal and Courier where the media asked me for some candid comments on the real estate market in Greater Lafayette. I linked to it below. We got to talk about the market, new construction and more. Let me know if you have any questions!

Here’s what’s going on!

Today, Greater Lafayette has 26 new homes on the market! 20 price reductions today (ask me if you want details) and 16 sold. We currently have  267 listings under contract and pending to close! I sent out 28 messages today for my personal clients alerting them to new homes on the market fitting their needs. If you’d like to get in on our market updates, custom tailored to your specific criteria, let me know. It’s free of charge! We want you to know what’s going on in your town

As always, email or call me with any questions. We’re ready to go to work for you whenever you need us!

Hi everyone! This is going to be an awesome week…our office transaction coordinator Jasmine Duran commented earlier that "we are now officially busy"! This is true. Our phones are ringing, our inboxes are full of messages. We’re really moving! This is the time when all home buyers are really out in full force, wanting to get moved by Spring/Early Summer.

Today we closed 11 homes so far, put 10 new homes on the market, price dropped 6 homes, and we have 250 homes under contract. This is twice the number we had pending in recent weeks. People are buying homes in Lafayette!

I get asked every day what the market is like, how are values? Are home prices going down? How long are homes on the market? What’s my home worth? Is now a good time to sell? I hope these quick updats give you a couple things to think about, and if you have any questions, hit our websites (some I will post below), or give me a call or email!

Hi everybody Here’s what’s going on today…our local market has 50 new listings, 20 price reductions and 215 deals pending. People are buying homes! As usual I’ve met with lenders and builders and many people are talking about the changes coming up for the year.

We have builders we work with everyday who are offering some fantastic deals on new homes. Quick build times and easy to work with closing arrangements…many people think you have to be 6 months or more out if building is a good option for you. Not true. You can move into a new custom ordered home this summer no problem. AND we can help you get fantastic pricing on this.

Lenders are talking of course about the revamping of some typical lending programs. You really want to work with a Realtor who knows the ropes these days…for real guys. We don’t want to see your deal go south just because someone doesn’t know what they’re doing. Work with a top team who knows who to call and how to work deals with you, so you get solid financing you can depend on.

We’ve noticed a sharp increase in all our web traffic. Many of you may know that we have several sites to help you with all your home buying and selling needs. Use them! We’re here to help in any way we can…I’ll post links to some of the most popular ones below.

Happy Monday everyone! This year is going to be awesome . So in the last 7 days, our market has put 102 new listings on the market, 50 price reductions and sold 32 homes. Things are moving! Let me know if you have any questions. Anyone wanting to move in the spring/summer is now out actively looking. We’ve noticed a sharp spike in traffic to all our websites. People are searching for homes in Lafayette and West Lafayette. AND, more importantly, people are buying homes…we now have 182 homes under contract.

Let me know if you have any questions about your real estate needs. Me and the team are ready to go to work for you! Have a great week.

Please read this article, with quotes from Lafayette Board of Realtors
president. She comments aptly on how the Lafayette market compares to
what’s going on around the country. Indiana real estate used to be
towards the top of the list on foreclosures. We hear bad news about
real estate everyday. Does this mean it’s bad here too? If you look at
the numbers, Lafayette real estate is solid, we’re not in a bad market.
Again, I just wanted to share this article with all of you. Let me know
what you think!
