It’s amazing how things change and stay the same. The real estate market continues to be more of a challenge than it has been in many years. But it’s not that homes aren’t selling; it’s that some homes aren’t selling.
You want to sell your home, and you want it to go quickly and for your asking price. Sound like it’s too good to be true? The reality is that how fast your home sells and what you get for it does depend on the market and how well it’s marketed, but it also depends on you. For example, when people look for a new home, they are far more attracted to homes that need no work and that show very well, even when the specs are the same as a run-down house that just doesn’t “wow” them.
Thinking of buying a home? Regardless of the news reports, people are buying and homes are selling. Is it time for you to start looking, and if so, why would you want to work with a licensed Realtor®? You can search for millions of homes online, so using a realtor isn’t about finding a home – it’s about the buying process. If you can’t comfortably answer the following questions, you should be serious about seeking out the right real estate agent to help you through the process.

Word on the street is that the right houses always sell. But what’s the right house? Simply, it’s the one that’s priced right and shows well.
So – it’s been five years or more that you’ve been hearing that the housing market is up, that home prices are increasing but there are more homes available. That means as a seller, this could be a great opportunity! Or is it? Should you wait to see if the market turns around again?
Five decades ago, Roy Carpenter launched a little real estate business on the south side of Indianapolis and hired recently returned Vietnam veteran Tom Prall as his first full-time agent. Prall quickly discovered real estate was a solid fit for him, and eventually purchased Carpenter’s business.
