Local Real Estate Industry and Coronavirus

Indiana is up to 30 cases of the virus and 2 deaths. Gov Holcomb has ordered all bars and restaurants to offer only carryout or delivery for the foreseeable future. Everyone is taking extra precautions in these uncertain times. The real estate industry is no different.

Reality of Real Estate Right Now

Locally, there will still be people who are confident about their job security — or moving for job offers that haven’t evaporated. There will be others making room for new family members, marrying, divorcing or looking to be closer to older ones who may need care.

Everyone needs someplace to live. Here is another thing that will probably not change: In many areas, the housing inventory for sale will be more attractive than what is for rent.

Much of the inventory has to come from people who are moving up or on and will themselves need to buy a new place. It happens everyday and is continuing to happen, currently.

New listings for homes for sale are continuing to pop up daily. Our website and App will keep you informed so you can be ready to go at a moments notice.

Showing Houses

In an effort to adhere with social distancing, we ask that you shop online, first. Really look at the photos, videos and the homes’ information provided so you can make a short list of homes you truly want to consider.

With that list, our agents will make appointments for showings. We are keeping disinfecting wipes, hand sanitizer and other measures in our vehicles to keep both our clients and the home sellers safe.

Selling Your Home

Likewise, if you are one of our sellers or getting ready to list with us, please know your best interests are at the heart of our actions.

Our photographer is taking extra measures when photographing your home. We talk with showing agents to be sure they will also take precautionary actions when showing your home.

Video walk-thrus, virtual showings and more can be put in place to still help get the word out and show your home!

As the World Turns…

Even as the near future with the virus is uncertain, believe it or not, real estate continues – people need places to live, and some of them need it quickly due to life events. Others need to sell now to prepare for their next step. It will continue to happen…

Rest assured that you are the heart of our actions and our business. Please give us a call if you have any questions or concerns. We’d be happy to speak with you!!
