There's a lot of talk about the best way to buy and sell a home in today's environment, but the source of the data, the backbone of your real estate experience is the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Take a look at NAR's Consumer Guide to learn more about the MLS and what it does for buyers and sellers.

We’re proud to celebrate a major win for housing in our community. 👏
Thanks in part to the advocacy efforts of IURA's Government Affairs Committee, the Bloomington City Council approved the Hopewell project—helping pave the way for nearly 100 new affordable homes in the City of Bloomington.

A new chapter for Bloomington begins: Hopewell’s first homes are officially on their way. After unanimous support from both the Plan Commission and City Council, Mayor Thomson has signed off on the neighborhood’s first plans.

That means nearly 100 new homes are coming soon, designed for a wider range of residents and stages of life and expanding attainable homeownership opportunities in our city.

This progress reflects years of teamwork and vision from city staff, community members, and local leaders—all of whom we thank for helping make this vision a reality. Look for the first homes as early as 2027!

We have the chance to have housing at a starter home price point in the heart of Bloomington. This is a well thought out project, with a great deal of feedback from local industry professionals. It has also been very successful in other communities; South Bend Indiana is one of them. Please consider signing this petition to encourage the city council to allow this development to move forward.
