Let's Talk About It

The Report, found online at www.IndianaIsHome.com, is the first-ever county-by-county comparison of existing singlefamily home sales in Indiana. IAR obtains the data directly from the state’s 23 largest Multiple Listing Services (MLSs) and the Broker Listing Cooperative® (BLC®) in central Indiana. October’s Report includes Clinton, Greene, Union, Rush, Fayette and Franklin Counties for the first time*, bringing the Report’s representation to 98% of the housing market statewide.

I found the perfect solution to a problem I have had.

I need a new office chair and my wife wants to loose some belly fat but not diet or work out any. Here is the perfect solution to both problems.

Here is another take on our solution.

The first time homebuyer tax credit has been extended through the end of June, 2010. It has also been expanded to include move-up buyers buying a new home.

For first time buyers, nothing has changed. If you have not owned a home in the past three years, you would qualify for a tax credit of up to $8,000.

For move-up buyers, you must have lived in a home for five of the past eight years. You would qualify for a tax credit of up to $6,500.

Income limits were also raised allowing more buyers to qualify for the credit.

In both cases, you must have an accepted contract by April 30 and close the transaction on or before June 30, 2010.

...only to the next 25 customers, buy one get two free, 60% off, zero percent interest, if you act before midnight tonight, I will double the offer...

No, I am not talking about one of my listings for sale, I am poking fun at some of these silly TV commercials hawking anything from cars to windows to carpet to vinyl siding to Veg-O-Matics. I won't name any specific companies, but I think you know some of them.

I personally feel like they are insulting my intelligence by making some of the stupid and outragious claims and sales pitches they do. I guess it gets under my skin a little more than most people since I am in the customer service industry and I must follow very rigid laws and a stringent code of ethics in all of my business dealings, especially my advertising.

I personally won't buy anything from these hawkers. I will ask others about an item or service, who did they buy from and how was their experience?

Act quickly, only 52, no, 51, well, make that only 50 left. Now it is 49...
