Thanks for Making Key Associates of Santa Claus #1

in Spencer County and Christmas Lake Village for 2008.

Congratulations to Key Associates Organization for being #1 and #2 in Spencer County. For your real estate coverage needs, see Key Associates of Santa Claus (#1) for North Spencer and Key Associates of Rockport (#2) for Spencer County.

Currently, in the Rockport, Indiana and Spencer County, Indiana real estate market, home sales remain steady. In fact, business has increased over the past 3 weeks. Financing remains available, a buyer just needs a minmum credit score of 580 and 3% down. 100% financing is available, but the requirements are stricter in regards to credit score. Overall, however, this area has not seen a downturn in either activity or home values, and the current market would have to be categorized as good.

Please see the update for our market. We do not see alot of foreclosures in our area, job loss has not been an issue as of today and we have not felt alot of price erosion yet but we have seen alot of slow down in showings and houses moving in the past month due to the economic issues that the whole US is currently facing this past month.

Purdue Scholarships for Spencer County Residents

As a Purdue Alumni and use of this scholarship, I thought I would blog this important fact to potential home owners looking at moving into Spencer County.

All residents of Spencer County students are given a scholarship call the Berkshire Scholarship if they attend Purdue University and are from our county. The amounts vary depending on how many students goto Purdue from the county a year. In addition, you are given scholarship funds every year that you attend Purdue upto four years. A mininium GPA is all that is required to keep the scholarship every year. If you do not keep the min. GPA you can loose it and not qualify for it as you continue your education at Purdue.

Thanks to a Spencer County Alumni that set this fund up. I was very thankful for its use and thousands it saved me over the years at Purdue. I thought I would get the message out because it can make a difference in home selection if you have students getting ready to attend college and you are debating if you want to live in Spencer, Dubois, or Perry County.

Call for more details.

Hail, Hail, to Old Purdue.....
