It's been a crazy year. Grateful we could represent our clients through the multiple offer situation to get a home!   "We are very thankful to Jeff and Grace Safrin for the incredible work they did in helping us find the perfect home in Munster, IN. For family reasons, Munster was our only choice for a home, and for good reasons, finding the right home in Munster was a challenge from the get-go-because many in the nearby Chicago market are looking to get out of Illinois but stay in the metro area. Jeff and Grace said it may take time, but we will find you a home you will love. We were prepared to wait up to a year, but Jeff and Grace found us the perfect home in less than 90 days, which was an incredible accomplishment given the popularity of Munster, as well as the crazy housing market...

 Recently we represented relocating buyers who purchased a home in Munster, Indiana contingent on them selling their home in Illinois.Now these were repeat clients.

    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?   To answer your questions I have run a report on homes sold over the last six months in the areas of Schererville, Munster and St.John in NW Indiana.      Answer 1)-Statistically you are asking for the most popular and salable home on the market.  The attached chart shows that 259 total homes sold.  Of those 125 where 3 bedroom homes priced between 201,000...

   Just a quick update for those looking for a home in NW Indiana. The property taxes on homes at the end of the year will be capped 1.5% of the sales price of the home and in 2010 , they will be even better at 1%. Alot of things have been put in place to help this economy along. The 8000 Dollar tax credit has really helped the 140k and under market in real estate. I think that the cap will really help the 200k and over market. Maybe we could nickname it the Cap of Clunkers,lol

 Well good news on the Real Estate front. The National Associations of Realtors has shown that Pending home sales have gone up 6.7% and the most important thing about that, is that it is the third consecutive increase in more than 2 years. With home values down some 30% from their peak about 3 yrs ago , the market is showing good signs of life.

If you want to attempt to install your own ceiling fan there are two things that you must be comfortable with first. Working on a ladder is difficult sometimes and you must not be afraid of heights. Second and most important, you need to take the necessary precautions to work with electricity safely. If you are not up for those two things, please call a professional, like the expert craftsmen of Handyman Staff LLC. Whenever possible, you should work on this project with a partner. If anything happens to you, you'll need someone present to seek medical attention, and...it's always nice to have a helper while you are up on the ladder. Begin with turning off the electricity at the breaker box. You can use two-way radios, cell phones, or even a baby monitor if you can't hear one another whi...
