Keeping It Grand

GJ REAL ESTATE MARKET IS SIZZLING!

The real estate market in Grand Junction is “hot” – not only have three of the largest homes in town—the former Slininger’s funeral home building on East Main Street, the Watts property on the end of East Main, and the former St. Brigid’s rectory on East Hager Street—just sold, but no less than 4 realtor signs have popped up on the lawn of 406 East Hager! Holy multiple listings—Polking, Peckumm, Iowa, and Town & Farm realty companies are looking for a piece of the action on this one! It’s testimony to the level of the ladies in Greene County real estate as the four signs bear contacts for Linda, Linda, Laura and Karen. Update! Now there is a fifth sign on the property—Midland Realty with contact information for realtor Al Rowedder. That’s five!.. Fresh off their successful runs at the Greene County Fair, two of the Gunn sisters—Brittany and Hannah—brightened up the GJ Laundromat with a nice mural on the upper west wall (above the bank of dryers) this summer. Their artwork depicts clothes hanging on the line. Very nice—fresh and breezy. …Marty and Linda Hoffman are building a family room addition to the back of their home on Herron Street….A new sidewalk is gracing the 12th Street side and a bit of the Hager Street corner of the Ross residence on the northeast corner of Hager and 12th… Dennhardt Construction of Jefferson finished up a pavement project for the driveway and parking area at the northeast corner of the high school/middle school just before school started on Aug. 25. The new paving begins at the entry to the school property at Kelley and 13th Streets and extends to the wing that houses the art and ICN rooms and adjacent parking areas.
