We like to check out the annual Griffith street fest - that's a fun time to be in Griffith :)

yep - Culligan is a great option for water filtration systems

@TonyAnczerRE I remember the water tasted like it came from a glacier from a house with that system.

Both are great towns. Valpo has more of a "downtown" that is an area attraction - St. John doesn't have much of a "downtown" if that matters to you. Crown Point also has a cool downtown (but much less grand than Valpo). off peak traffic, St. John is about 50 minutes from downtown Chicago. Valpo could also be about 45 minutes from downtown if you take the skyway bridge which has a $7.20 toll each way

@@Femboy_Bunny-HLL thanks for the comment! do you have different rating data that I should use for future videos?

@TonyAnczerRE unless you are doing a video on the neighboring town of Landing, Illinois then no

@@thedennihue hi! Thanks for the note! Glad to hear the video was helpful. Hope your flight was great! ✈️

this area of the midwest is about as chill as it gets regarding tornados or devasting weather. as for any home, youd want to keep your eye on drainage to make sure the drainage in the area is correct so that when the 100 year storm come, that water gets conveyed properly.

@@ChildOfTheTrueOneKing Illinois also has a 5% income tax too 😬

@@Orthodox-Man-98 first I heard of Hobart being a drinking town 🤔

It’s no more of a drinking town than most towns in the US. The worst part of growing up there was a lot of racism, that’s my personal experience.

@@Am_Eliais it still like that?

Great??? Griffith is a filthy cesspool! If you like backward azz drunks then this is the place for you!

It sure does have that 'small town feel'!

Hello! if your agreement has language that your buyer is required to pay you $1000, and the seller is only willing to pay $800, then technically your buyer is responsible to pay through balance $200. But, you’d want to make sure that your buyer understood this on the onset when signing the agreement. I usually tell my buyers something like “Ms. Buyer - after the July 2024 NAR legal changes I know have to have you sign a buyer-broker representation agreement before I can show you homes. The form has a line that list what my brokerage’s profession fee is as a percentage of the home purchase value. The seller typically pays the buyer agent commission, and in our offer we will ask the seller to pay the buyer agent fee. I’m going to fill in the fee amount as 3.0 %, and most sellers will pay in the 2.0% to 2.5% range, and some will pay 3.0%. I’m OK with 2.0-3.0% (or whatever range you are OK with), but if the seller declines to pay that amount, then we will have a discussion on how to proceed. Legally, I can come down from what we write on the form, but I can’t go up, so that’s why I put 3.0%, and if it ends up being a lesser number then we will revise the form to go down to the amount the seller agrees to pay” Hope that helps. Feel free to call me at (708) 608-3000 to talk through as my text response may not capture your exact situation.

@@rm617 I agree!

@@Richard-d9p thanks for the feedback! Other than the annoying music - was the video helpful?

I didn’t notice Luchios 🤔

It looks like it did. I think a School of Rock style music school would be great for the area

@@bufordmaddogtannen5164 lol - I haven’t heard that term for Cedar Lake in a while.

@@KiyaAldridge-q5j the voucher program changed such that as long as you are an Indiana resident, and your income is sub $200,000+ then you qualify. Whatever the school would provide would be what services you get. As it relates to additional state services outside of what a school offers - I don’t know that info. 🤷‍♂️

Sure thing! Glad it’s helpful 😁

@@Usama_arm welcome! Thanks for the comment 😁

@@samrodriguez9653 we like it! Are you in the NWI region?

@@TonyAnczerRE Next door, in Highland.

@@samrodriguez9653 nice 👍 we are in St John. One of my clients chose Highland to buy a home as he commutes to the city and loves that quick I 80 access.

@TonyAnczerRE Born and raised in Indiana, best state in the Union 🇺🇲

@@charliemcafee1446 I’ve heard just bits and pieces of this. I was wondering why the project was cut short from the original schedule. 🤔

@@beergeek123 nice! LOFS is a cool area. I love how you can drive golf carts all around there.

@@joejazzy3588 yeah - that’s too bad. That was a fun hangout spot

@@TonyAnczerRE the peop;e that purchased it want to many $$$$$$$$$$$$$ for it, loved it had many parties there, 394 blow out your cars engine of all carbon build up,

Originally called Lincoln Fields. Matt Winn who promoted Kentucky Derby built track.

@ that’s a fun fact to know! Thanks for sharing

@@paulcarter996 it is a great program. And the terms have gotten better since I recorded this video - the tracts are gone, and the income limits have been increased significantly.

@@terence4427 as a “production builder” opposed to “custom builder”, that’s not uncommon to hear

@@terence4427 thanks! I appreciate your viewing!

@@redman7538 St John has definitely developed a ton through recent years. And it just keeps going with all the NW Indiana housing demand

@@TonyAnczerRE what moved in the K-Mart building

@@redman7538 90% sure it is still vacant.

@@Tim_Gravy interesting 🤔

@@53GOSSAMER it is wild how much the region has developed over the years. And it just keeps developing with all the NW Indiana housing demand 🤯

@@markodeen4105 whenever I pull up a map of the region - the lake is the first thing I look for to get my bearings for the same reason. 👍

@@dr.traplord1227 that’s beyond my expertise, but I don’t think so because the main point of the projects is to get the feet of sludge off the bottom of the lake, of which, I don’t think that muck has much beneficial biological value

@@TonyAnczerRE also beyond mine, all I know about the subject is aerobic bacteria consume ammonia and nitrogen to turn them into nitrates and oxygen. They could also be removing anaerobic bacteria which takes the same nutrients to feed but produce CO2. You're right, they're doing it with good intentions. Most likely would be the latter then

@@MdNuralamIslam-dv9ot thanks for the note and for watching!

@@oldfarmshow thanks for the comment!

@@Sam-Taylor88 sure thing! Please send me an email to Tony@Anczer.com and I’ll send to you

@@waimeagavin808 the Illinois taxes are driving a lot of Illinoisans to Indiana! Many areas of Illinois just had the tax reassessments and I’ve had a surge of Illinois residents reaching out to explore moving to Indiana.

@@TonyAnczerRE can’t move there until my wife finishes school in a few years do you have any speculation on how much home values will go up?

@@waimeagavin808 we are seeing 5%+ per year currently

@@dawnstraughen755 the sludge dries out (often called thickening) and then can be disposed of or worked into soil (I’m not sure of the plan for disposal is - depending on the soil characteristics you would do different things with it)

@@dawnstraughen755 neat to know about the ice harvesting!

Actually, it was sewage lines that ran from all the houses, cottages and hotels that were built there from about 1880-1920. No processing or filtration. They turned a beautiful, crystal clear, spring fed lake into their sewer, back in the day. That is the reason that lake suffers from extreme algae blooms every year, like pea soup…

@@kanoawai I think most of us northwest indiana people would be glad to be in Hawaii too! 🤩 The wife and I went to the big island and Maui some years ago. The road to Hana was pretty wild. Have you done the road to Hana?

@@TonyAnczerRE I’m Hawaiian my dad was military I’m from Hawai’i Moku O Keawe ( Big Island) moms pure Hawaiian my dads polish/ Italian born and raised in Hawai’i til 6 than after my dad got out he wanted to move up to the mainland around where he was raised.

Will there be a swim there at 73? 🤔 We used to jet ski there (I still would, but sold off the jet ski)
