At the end of the day, I lay my head down on the pillow and know I've done the best I can....    Recently, we represented a repeat buyer wanting to downsize to a condo from their single family home. Simple enough you may think? We listed their home and negotiated an accepted offer. A problem we encountered was that the listing inventory on the MLS in the specific area our buyer desired was very low. The few Condominiums that were for sale did not meet our clients criteria of size and number of bedrooms. The current COVID-19 Pandemic has affected the Real Estate Inventory in NW Indiana in that Home Owners maybe somewhat hesitant to list their property for sale on the market at this time with infection rates still climbing. Economics and Law of supply and demand impact new listings = If p...
