Member Account Information

At MIBOR, we understand that a booming housing market is good for all of us. Not only does our economy benefit from a high volume of high-value real estate transactions in central Indiana, this trend also helps steer your business toward profitability.

As wages and the number of jobs in the region increase, so does the demand for quality housing. Higher demand means higher home values, and in some cases, more homes.

MIBOR knows that this growth is a benefit to our local economy, as well as the personal and professional gains of our members. To help both, MIBOR works with organizations that bring quality employers to central Indiana and encourage the growth and expansion of existing businesses. MIBOR provides funding and market data to these groups to help support this positive growth, and encourages MIBOR members like you to participate and hold positions of leadership in these collaborative organizations.

Some of these partners include:

• Local chambers of commerce
• Local economic development organizations
• The Indy Partnership
• Indianapolis Convention and Visitors Bureau
• Indianapolis Downtown Inc.
• Indianapolis Coalition of Neighborhood Development
• Center for Urban Policy and the Environment
• Polis Center
• Indiana Business Research Center

Healthy communities are valuable communities — and valuable communities are good for the housing market and your business. MIBOR understands that many factors affect economic vitality and community wealth, including transportation, schools, planning and zoning, infrastructure, taxation, housing, crime, the environment and recreation. MIBOR works to inform policy makers on our members' views on these critical issues through one-on-one meetings, public hearings and large-scale events like the Central Indiana Housing Summit.

As a MIBOR member, you can be personally involved in putting your business on the road to profitability by helping direct central Indiana's economic growth and development. We will provide you ways to get involved in local organizations; local, state and federal government; your chamber of commerce; and in your industry's leadership and policy development at IAR and NAR. We will provide the opportunities — what you chose to do with them is up to you!
