Indianapolis Real Estate Report
I have had repeated requests to post some data on a regular basis from our friends at Real Estate Research Corporation. You may already know that we have partnered with RERC to improve their DataCenter, it’s fulfillment, and it’s marketing efforts. The DataCenter offers paid access to an extensive library of investment criteria at a variety of custom subscription levels. You can check them out at the link in the blogroll or give us a call here for more information.
I intend to make an attempt to post updates from RERC on a quarterly basis for the Indianapolis Metro and National markets. The data will be top level indicators for the Capital Markets and a snapshot of the data available at the DataCenter. Please call me with questions or clarifications about the data.
BlogLaunch
After being asked multiple times to start a blog, we have finally decided to charge headlong into that effort. I asked an open Linkedin.com question as to what topics might be best for our blog and am currently considering the answers. Please feel free to suggest topics for discussion or updates that would be beneficial to you or your organization. I am hoping this will be a timely, interactive, and useful resource for your commercial real estate needs.
