I ask you, are you fulfilled and satisfied by the work you get accomplished or the tasks that you tick off?

What if by making a slight shift in how you relate to and fill your calendar could change your entire experience of your day, yourself, and what you are capable of? * Begin by filling your Calendar with Happenings that get at the source and heart of what you're after in life - at work, at home and at play. When you write them, do you have the experience that they will alter your behavior when you act upon them? (most ...

How to Stop Foreclosure If you are in a bind and unable to make your mortgage payments, you may be in danger of foreclosure.   Sell Your Home. You can sell your home to an investor or regular home buyer. Selling your home will eliminate your financial problems and take away your responsibility for making the mortgage payments.   Consider a Short Sale. A short sale is a good option if you owe more on your home than it is worth. The short sale may negatively impact your credit, but it won't be as bad as a foreclosure. You can also negotiate to get your lender to cooperate on the short sale, a process considered "pre-foreclosure redeemed."   Sign a Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure A Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure is when you deed the home back to the lender. This process occurs when the homeowner ...

Since foreclosures are such a hot topic right now, I thought I would share a few statistics about the Indianapolis foreclosures market: - There are currently 587 foreclosures and bank owned homes for sale. - The average asking price for these is $69,291. - There are currently 336 pending foreclosures with an average asking price of $53,877. - In the past 12 months, 3117 bank owned homes have sold in Indianapolis. - The average sales price for the past 12 months was $53,877. As you can see the foreclosure market in Indianapolis is substantially below the average for the rest of the Indianapolis real estate market. Another factor that is not considered here is Indianapolis short sales. A short sale is when the owner has fallen behind on the mortgage and they owe more than the house is wo...

Here is look at what happened for homes in Pike Township Indianapolis under $500,000 for December 2008:   2007 2008 % Change Active N/A 627 Homes Sold 56 60 7% Average Selling Price $121,670 $85,043 -30% Days on Market 91 93 2% Price Per Square Foot $67 $50 -25% It looks we have a case where a single month can be misleading. The average sales price was down by far the most this year, posting a 30% decrease over last year. In addition, the number of homes sold appears to be up 7% over last year. Both of these numbers are contrary to what has happened the rest of the year in Pike Township real estate. At the year’s end, we saw an average of 17% fewer homes being sold and an 8% decrease in average sales price since last year. As you can see, December’s numbers are way off the averages for...

The number of homes sold was, predictably, down considerably over last year while the average sales price was down by a larger than normal margin. Overall, it was not a great month for Lawrence Township real estate. Lawrence Township is a very hard township to report numbers on because you two distinct areas in Lawrence: Geist homes and southern Lawrence Township. As you can see from my last post, some subdivisions in...
