Spring is here!

The Spring Real Estate Market is thriving, and we are seeing a significant increase in demand for homes in Voorhees, especially from millennials.

In fact, the current absorption rate in our area is only 3 months, which means that if no more homes come on the market, we will only be able to sustain the current demand for up to 3 months.

This is great news for anyone considering selling their home, as the high demand can lead to a boost in your bottom line.

If you are thinking about selling your home, now is the perfect time to do so. To get started, it's essential to focus on your curb appeal, which can significantly impact the value of your property. That's why we've put together a helpful checklist to help you get started.

Friendly reminder: Before you make a repair, be sure to check with a real estate agent to make sure it is worth your return on investment. Feel free to Book A Call with me if you have any questions or want a free consultation!

Welcome To The Virtual Seller Seminar Library

Learn the latest and most up to date marketing and sales tactics

to sell your home for top dollar.

The Pre-Market Test

"Will your home pass the test before going to market?"

  • ​First impressions matter—curb appeal, cleanliness, and staging can greatly impact your home's value.

  • ​Preparing your home with updates and deep cleaning helps you sell faster and for top dollar.

Pre-Market Timelines

"Let's talk about the timelines before listing a home with us."

  • Smart marketing and pro photos help your home reach the right buyers.

  • Clean, stage, and repair your home to boost value and attract buyers.

Home Valuation

"How do I know what my home is worth?."

  • ​Home value depends on size, condition, location, and how it compares to similar properties.

  • ​Buyers ultimately decide value—pricing must reflect market realities, not emotions.

What to Disclose

"What should you disclose when selling your home?"

  • Disclose known issues like leaks, pests, or repairs to stay legally safe

  • When unsure, disclose—honesty protects your sale.

Receiving Offers

"What happens after you get an offer on your home?"

  • ​A skilled negotiator helps you choose the best offer and terms.

  • ​Smart strategies can lead to stronger deals and faster closings.

Negotiations

"Why Sellers should never negotiate alone?"

  • ​Sellers should avoid talking directly to buyers—it can hurt the deal.

  • Skilled agents use strategy to protect your money and outcome.

Zestimate

"Zillow is an Algorithm"

  • Zillow guesses your home’s value without seeing it.

  • A local expert gives a more accurate, personalized price.

INSPECTIONS

"Should you get a home inspection before listing?"

  • Pre-listing inspections reveal hidden issues early and prevent costly surprises.

  • Knowing your home's condition gives you pricing power and peace of mind.

CONTINGENCIES

"Understanding contingencies in Real Estate contract"

  • ​Contingencies are contract conditions that must be met to close the sale.

  • Sellers should understand them to avoid delays or losing the deal.

The week ahead in Bloomington, October 19 to 25, 2026: Halloween events, the farmers' market at Showers Common and a day trip to Brown County State Park

What's Happening in Bloomington This Week? October 19-25, 2026

October 17, 2026•2 min read

This is a Halloween-heavy week in Bloomington. There's a free ghost-story night in Bryan Park, a downtown trick-or-treat walk, Halloween at IU Auditorium, and one of the last outdoor Saturdays of the farmers' market season. If you want to get out of town, Brown County State Park is one of Indiana's best-known fall color drives.

Lesa Miller is a REALTOR® and broker in Bloomington, Indiana, who helps buyers and sellers across Monroe County and the surrounding towns. Here's what caught my eye this week.

What's happening midweek?

Wednesday, Oct. 21: Dennis James Hosts Halloween, IU Auditorium, 7:30 p.m. IU Auditorium lists it on its events page.

What's happening Friday?

  • Downtown trick-or-treat walk on the square, 5-8 p.m.

  • Festival of Ghost Stories in Bryan Park, 7-8:30 p.m. It's free and presented by the Monroe County Public Library and the Bloomington Storytellers Guild.

Both are from WFIU's roundup of Halloween events in town, which lists even more, including trunk-or-treats.

What's happening Saturday?

  • Bloomington Community Farmers' Market, 9 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at Showers Common, 401 N. Morton St. The city says the market is outdoors there through October and moves indoors to the Switchyard Park Pavilion in November, so this is one of the last outdoor Saturdays of the year.

  • Bloomington Pumpkin Launch, Monroe County Fairgrounds, 11 a.m.-2 p.m., $10 per car, per WFIU's roundup.

  • My Hero Academia Live in Concert, IU Auditorium, 7:30 p.m.

Where's a good fall day trip?

Brown County State Park, east of Bloomington on State Road 46 near Nashville. Indiana DNR calls it "Indiana's largest park" and "a traditional fall color hot spot," with nearly 20 miles of tree-lined roads, scenic overlooks and a 90-foot fire tower. It's nicknamed the "Little Smokies." Check the DNR page for entrance fees before you go.

Lesa Miller, Broker|REALTOR®

I work with buyers and sellers across Bloomington, Bedford, Ellettsville, and the surrounding south-central Indiana communities. Some are downsizing. Some are relocating for work at Cook, Novo Nordisk, IU, or Crane. Some are parents buying a place for their student at IU. Some are first-time buyers trying to figure out where to start. What they have in common is they want a straight answer and a plan that fits their situation, not a sales pitch. Since 2001. JD/MBA.
