What kind of single family home can be resold most easily in Munster, Indiana?
Here is another client question that I thought might be of interest to others in NW Indiana. 1. What kind of single family home can be resold most easily? i.e.: 4 bedrooms with price of $150,000-$200,000 or $250,000+? Because I am not sure how long I can stay in this area. 2. If your listing price is $200,000, how much can I usually get it for finally?

In my dealings with buyers for homes in NW Indiana it has become apparent that not everyone understands just how the GNIAR multiple listing service works.

Look out Bambi Man is at it again!! While I am not a hunter I do understand the need to control the population of our wild animals-so ok. My issue is not with the hunting of deer but with living with them. I live in NW Indiana just south of Chicago and it is in no way a rural area. Going to and from my office I drive a strip of road that is two lanes with two turn lanes making it a four lane road. Over the last several weeks I have had to stop to let assorted deer cross … (2 comments)
