Discovering Luxury: Fort Wayne’s New Porsche Showroom And The Transformation Off Illinois Rd
Among the standout features of the new facility is the delivery room, which Ed Bean (Globally Certified Porsche Brand Ambassador) described as one of his favorites. “We will stage sold Porsche’s in a large well-appointed delivery area for each client’s reveal. There’s a big TV where we can put their name and a special message to them. There is music and a thrilling intro video. For example, if you’re getting a Porsche 911, it’s a video of a Porsche 911; if it’s a Cayenne, then it’s a video of a Cayenne.” He added that this personalized touch enhances the excitement of receiving a new vehicle.
In October 2025, The New Porsche Gen 5 Location Is Open For Business

Reflecting on their experience, Caroline shared “Julie mentioned that many people without allergies or restrictions love to visit the shop and enjoy the ice cream and treats as well. This ice cream shop is for everyone in the community to enjoy, and that’s one of the reasons we found it so special!” Eager to try everything from the perspective of a family without allergies, the Britt’s were impressed by how all items are made in-house with natural and organic ingredients, allowing them to truly taste the difference. “We loved the flavors of everything we had,” she continued. “The kids did not notice or mention a difference from regular ice cream, but savored each bite.

Fall Housing Market Snapshot: Steady Prices, More Inventory & New Listings
The market continues to show signs of stabilization rather than runaway growth: statewide median sale price is around $238,009 for homes sold over the past 12 months, according to a recent overview. Property Focus Sales activity has remained somewhat muted with inventories growing, giving buyers somewhat more options and less intense competition. For example, statewide listing activity is up and homes are spending longer on the market relative to the frenzy of the last few years. At the same time, while prices are still rising year- over-year, the pace is modest and buyers may have a little more room to negotiate compared to the tightest peaks of the market.

Success doesn’t come from wishes or hopes — it comes from putting in the work. 💪
It’s about showing up again and again. Putting in the work, even on the days when motivation fades. Choosing the harder path when the easier one is right there. Growth comes from the quiet effort, the early mornings, the late nights, and the moments no one sees. That’s where real progress is made..🙌
Every step forward, no matter how small, brings you closer to your goal.
