November ‘22 Newsletter
hello holidays :) - November recap
We are thankful for you! Thank you for supporting us and being the best friends, family, and clients-turned-friends. We love each & every one of you!
It's the BEST time of the year. Air is crisp, food & drink a-plenty, friends and family returning home. Plus, I feel like Keller & Corbett's brand colors really hit their aesthetic peak around the holidays.
This has been a wild year in real estate, no doubt. The insane seller's market has balanced out and buyers have gained more leverage in price & term negotiations. On the flip side, buyers are combating higher interest rates. Different market conditions, however, create opportunity! For example, if you are a cash buyer, the lower prices make this a great time to buy. If you are a buyer that was less competitive in the past few years (inability to provide cash for appraisal gap, non-conventional loan, did not want to provide inspection terms etc.), it is a great time to buy & refinance in the future!
Reach out if you have any questions on how this current market could be advantageous for your situation!
We hope everyone has a happy and joyful Thanksgiving! Enjoy your holiday and well-deserved time off. And when you convince all of your friends & family to move to Indy over the holidays, please pass along our number :).

ABC’s of Indy
This November is ‘D’ for Daddy Jack's & Diavola..
Daddy Jack's (not pictured)
A family establishment (in fact, owned by a relative of Kate & Clare's), Daddy's is the place to be on a northside Friday night. Conveniently located at 96th & Meridian, Daddy Jack's is part of a trio: Kona, Après, & Daddy Jack's. Daddys is the 21+ portion, Konas is a Fish Market & Sushi Bar, while Après is the after-dinner & private party venue. Great vibes, food, & they pour ‘em strong. The bar has big Cheers energy & the best warm atmosphere for the colder months. Make sure to try Kate & Clare’s great grandmother's lemon cake for dessert! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Diavola (pizzas pictured above)
YUM. Neapolitan pizza and red wine, say less. The 54th street favorite is a good alternative to Indy-favorite Napolese, with a bit more laid-back atmosphere. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What to …
- Book your tickets for Winterlights @ Newfields
- Enjoy your holiday with family & friends
- Refer your friends & family to Keller & Corbett for any & all of their real estate needs <3
