NorthWest Indiana Real Estate Blog: Indiana: Crown Point

Last week we closed on one of our short sale listings in Northwest Indiana, Lake County, Crown Point 46307.

Total market time was 115 days. Day 60 we received an offer and after counter, on day 64 we submitted the  offer/package to the lenders short sale department and received an approval letter within 30 days per Indiana law.

19 days later we closed.

Crown Point, IN Short Sale SOLD - Only 49 days from Accepted Offer to lender Approval to Closing Table!

Not all short sales are the same.

 With unemployment and financial hardships, many look for a REALTOR who is experienced in successfully listing and closing short sale properties.

List with Tucker.

There is a significant difference.

Only 47 days on the Market and No For Sale sign in the Yard! Northwest Indiana Homes For Sale that are priced right and in good condition are getting offers despite the national news reports!

Location, Location - Across the Street from a Park, Playground and Soccer Field, this home has much potential.

 We've successfully Listed and SOLD/Closed Short Sale properties in NW Indiana.

Short sales are not a game!

Because some buyers sometimes are missing the boat on how to have their offer successfully accepted and proceed with due diligence so that their short sale property purchase will close...

The patient buyer who is ready, willing and able to proceed with the requirements in a timely fashion according to contract deadlines in this non-traditional real estate transaction, can successfully purchase a property subject to lenders approval of a short sale.

If you have questions on this short sale property, give us a call.

We've blogged about Moving to Crown Point Indiana before on our Northwest Indiana Real Estate Blog.

The City of Crown Point is the county seat of Lake County, Northwest Indiana near the Illinois border and approx. 44 miles from downtown Chicago (Map)

The History of Crown Point is interesting and Hollywood has even filmed a movie on site here :)

With close proximity to the Windy City, award winning schools, and a more affordable cost of living (less sales and property taxes than the bordering neighbor state), many of those who are employed in IL, chose to commute by car or train and pick Crown Point as their Home Sweet Home.

Recently we listed a Beautiful, Newer, Sprawling Ranch Home For Sale in Crown Point, IN 46307 on 2.8 Acres.

A private country like setting, this home's location is close to the Hospital, Fairgrounds and Town Square!

On the way to our appointment, we had dinner on the square at a restaurant that has been around for years!

The square was busy -  Car shows every Thursday night  in summer where you can see owners of vintage or unique models proudly display their collections...even a band was playing on the ol courthouse steps!

Light-post Banners around the square proudly displayed that Crown Point hosted the LPGA Futures South Shore Championship Golf Tournament

at White Hawk Country Club. If you are considering a Move to Crown Point, IN give us a call to represent you in your Real Estate transaction!

Reminder of a Public Hearing that will take place

Thursday, February 18, 2010 at 7:00 PM, Crown Point High School auditorium,

1500 S. Main Street in Crown Point.

On the Proposed Illiana Expressway - a Tollroad  that would connect I 65 in Northwest Indiana with I 55 near Joliet, IL.

There have been pro's and con's to this for several years to the point it is now a topic indexed on WIKEPEDIA

Here's a link to the Final feasability Study with maps of the Area that would be affected.

More Roads and better infrastructure & therefore connectivity with our neighbors to the West in IL is needed to relieve congestion and support the expansion and growth our counties in NW Indiana are experiencing - not sure about the public / private partnership part of this proposal ?

more will be reveled after this meeting for sure as the news media and blogs will certainly offer editorial comments.

 Just as we have the choice of who we want to do business with - so do our clients!

There is an old saying" the greatest friend of truth is time :)

Our repeat business continues to grow from clients "moving up' or "downsizing" from properties in which they used our representation previously.

Friday, we closed on a home listed in Crown Point, IN in which we represented the buyers in several previous real estate transactions over the past decade.

The fringe benefits of our business are priceless...to be able to see their little one grow, to be invited to their summer barbeque's, to even stay in touch by social media!

We never bring gifts to closings anymore. Waiting and making a personal visit to spend time with people face to face is, for us, the best way to say we appreciate them choosing us as their REALTOR.

People don't care how much you know...until they know how much you care.

There are thousands of REALTORS on our local board to chose from. We're humbled at the opportunity to serve and wish our clients blessings for many years to come in their new Home Sweet Home!
