jeffersonville: Southern Indiana Home Prices & Sales 1/3/09 - 01/08/10 01:53 AM
This is the first snapshot (officially anyway!) of the year. We finally caught up after a few weeks of holiday stuffing! Before we get to the stats, I just want to say how excited I am to see what 2010 will bring. You have those who think the market will recover and those who think we’ve still yet to see the bottom. Count me as one of the optimists! I think things have already started turning around and I think this year will be better than last. Don’t get me wrong now. I’m not saying it won’t be a challenge. I’m

jeffersonville: Southern Indiana region gets hit with remnants from Ike. - 09/15/08 11:01 AM
This past Sunday blew me away, almost literally. What was leftover from Ike blew through the area yesterday for something we weren't used to here in the Midwest. Strong straight-line winds, which were reported to reach up 75 miles per hour by the local news affiliates, ripped through Kentucky and Indiana. As of this morning, it was reported that around 300,000 people are without power and it could be the end of the week before they get it back. I experienced the wind first hand at home. I had just reached the office and was preparing to go work an Open

jeffersonville: Foreclosures Down 48% - 05/18/08 08:44 AM
I received an email from my CEO the other day. He likes to send out industry news or announcements etc. Anyway, his message on Friday was filled with excitement and surprise. The first part of his message was discussing an article he saw in the USA Today Newspaper. The article was about foreclosures rising 65% in the month of April. I know what you are thinking, how can that be good news? Well the good news didn't come from there. That same day, Louisville's Courier Journal reported that foreclosures were down 48% for the month of April in Louisville and the

jeffersonville: What is a Buyers' or Sellers' Market? - 05/01/08 10:54 AM
If you ever read much about real estate, chances are you might have heard the term monthly absorption rate or current monthly inventory. If you haven't heard those, I know you've heard Buyers' Market or Sellers' Market. I'm going to explain how they determine what type of market it is. I think most people who listen to the news know that nationally (and I hate to do that because there really is no such thing as a national market), we are in a Buyers' Market. Sellers are having a harder time selling their homes than they have in years past.

jeffersonville: Jeffersonville Indiana Market Report - October 1, 2007 - 10/02/07 06:43 AM
Using the stats above, the monthly absorption rate for Jeffersonville is over thirteen months. The monthly absorption rate is the time it would take to sell the entire inventory that's on the market currently. Typically, anything over 6 months is considered a "buyer's market" and anything under 6 months is considered a "seller's market". As you can see, we are in a buyer's market at the moment. Couple that with the fact that interest rates are still low, and you will see that now is a great time to move. If you are on the fence or you have questions, please contact
