Oh, and this is a great time to buy in Bloomington.

$200,000 is the magic number right now. Things below that price are "starter homes" and are attracting buyers with that massive tax credit. These houses are moving and moving quickly. Two houses sold on my street this fall in under a month.

Above $200,000, houses are sitting on the market for months and years. There aren't a lot of people in my position who are "upgrading" right now. We seem to be in the sweet spot where we are moving from a hot price bracket to a not-so-hot price bracket.
