March Madness

Posted to Boone County Indiana, Stacy Shoup

March is here and that means College Basketball and like they say “in 49 stated its just a game” In Indiana, it is LIFE for many people. This year the Men’s NCAA Basketball Final Four is going to be held for the first time at Lucas Oil Stadium in Downtown Indianapolis. As a life-long Indiana Resident, I am VERY Excited for March Madness and the Final Four. Indianapolis also is home to the NCAA offices and museum as well as historical Hinkle Fieldhouse, located on the Butler University Campus…very cool if you are visiting or thinking of moving to the area. My Final Four Picks for this year are: Kentucky, Syracuse, Villanova, and Ohio State.

As always, I am always available to assist you in all your Real Estate needs, I also make a pretty good tour guide of the Metro Area. Call me at 317-339-6141 or email sshoup@callcarpenter.com.

Selling your house during the Winter months

Posted to Boone County Indiana, Jeremy Page

The real estate market here in Boone County, Indiana and the surrounding counties is continuing to be active. Though we are headed into the seasonally slower time of the real estate market we anticipate the market will continue to stay strong throughout the winter months.

This time of year is actually a prime time to sell your house. Typically, there are fewer showings but the showings are to more qualified buyers. As always you have the option to deny showings during those holiday get together times. Another benefit to listing your house this time of the year is that there are not as many houses on the market so your competition declines. Are you thinking it would be nice to have a bigger, smaller or different house to have Christmas in next year? Give me a call today for a no obligation market analysis on your house. You can reach me on my cell phone at 317-413-5311.

The seven day long Boone County 4H Fair

Posted to Boone County Indiana

We have just finished the seven day long Boone County 4H Fair. County residents come out for a local social experience of friends and neighbors they haven’t had time to visit with lately. Conversations range from the national presidential campaign to the 4H Fair Queen campaign. Children, teens and young adults bring their workmanship of animals and crafts to compete against each other’s skills of doing it better. One teenager was entered in the photography competition. She wanted more photos of the local perspective so she and her mother contacted me to take interior photos of the historic Boone County Jail which I have listed for sale. She went into the barred cells and photographed the numerous drawings on the walls and ceilings. Most people feel it's very creepy to walk through the cell block halls never mind going into the cells. She got her photos for her 4H project but she and her mother received a new appreciation for living on the right side of the law.

We also had a booth at the fair which I enjoy passing out Carpenter Realtors bags and Homes Magazines. Everyone wants our opinion on the housing crisis right now, so you always have someone seeking your insight. I’ve visited with many current and past clients who wonder by the booth. I tried to do a photo opp with a county councilman in front of our booth but he wouldn’t go for it because he is also and agent at one of our competitors. Usually politicians jump at every photo opportunity.
