The Avon Indiana real estate market actually improved year over year for the month of December. More homes sold, although only by a few, the price increase is very positive, especially for homeowners who are tracking the market and want to sell their home this Spring.

I was interested to see how the numbers would pan out after November's deluge of first time home buyers closed. Remember, the original deadline was November 30th for first time homebuyers who wanted to take advantage of the $8000.00 incentive, so many were already scheduled and closed in November.

 Will this become the normal? It is really anyone's guess, but the year over year report for all home sales in Avon looks like the trend is starting to balance and move upward. Most of the 2009 home prices were below the average for 2008. The average price of homes in Avon has increased over the last few months. It's interesting to note there were only 7 homes sold in Avon in 2009 over $400,000. This is also a trend in housing; not only in Avon, but around Indianapolis and the country.

As we look at the trending line in each of the graphs, we see the gap is starting to open up towards the end of the year. As we move into the new year, it will be interesting to see how homes sales in Avon compare to 2009.

Foreclosure Activity in Avon

In 2008 there were 832 homes sold in Avon with 168  sold as distressed property, which is 20.2%.

• In 2009, there were 753 homes sold in Avon with 166 sold as distressed properties, which is 22%
• We currently have 403 homes for sale in Avon and 63 distressed properties.15.6% is a much lower number to start the year with.

With 403 active Avon homes on the market, the current absorption rate is 8 months, which indicates it is still a buyer's market. We'll see that number reduce as we approach Spring. Average days on market and absorption rate will vary by price range.

As always, if you have any questions about the values of homes in your Avon Subdivision or neighborhood or just want to talk real estate, you can email me or call me.

Parks at Prestwick in Avon offers some of the most beautiful land in Hendricks County. Scenic tree lined and sloping hillside lots sitting above the Prestwick Country Club. On either side of the custom home lots are paired ranch maintenace free communities. I've always been a huge fan of these communities. No yard work, no shoveling snow, no exterior maintenance! Okay, so it's really a huge benefit for my husband, but still, if he's not busy maintaining all these items, I could create another honey - do list :) I mean honey-please list.

Last year the largest builder of maintenace free homes in Indianapolis went out of business and the communities are in foreclosure. I have been working with the Receiver of the homes at Grant Park and after a few months of getting all the details in place, I now have some of the homes at Grant Park listed and ready to sell. We will be adding additional homes to the inventory soon.

Although not officially bank owned, we have been given the liberty to price these homes to SELL.The price represents a savings of 25-30% off what the builder had these homes listed for.

My favorite model is the Majestic with the optional bonus room. We just happen to have one available. With over 2900 square foot, you would never know you are in a condo. This model home features a  double sun room with a wall of windows overlooking the pond, hardwood flooring, fireplace and custom upgrades throughout.

I will be there on Sundays from 1-4 with all five models open, plus four additional homes. We have some homes which can be finished to specifications. Come by and check out this beautiful community. I'll see you there!

You can see more detail, floor plans and photos at GrantParkAvon.

Brownsburg, Indiana gained national attention when CNN Money named it the 33rd best place to live in the country. Although traffic was named as a a detractor, the advantages of living in Brownsburg far outweigh the negative impact traffic has been for the city.

Job growth, schools and quality of life were factors in determining the best places. Other factors considered were: Crime, financial purchasing power, leisure and culture, access to amenities, weather (guess they didn't visit this week) and taxes. Real estate tax data was not available for Brownsburg when the numbers were reported.

For those of us familiar with the western suburbs of Indianapolis, Brownsburg is a great place to live. As a matter of fact, my daughter and her family recently moved to Brownsburg; they love it!

Traffic congestion can be a bit of a pain. I imagine that's true of any town or city where people want to live and the quality of life is above average. Congratulations to the town and community of Brownsburg!

Recently, I was asked to provide some data about the state of foreclosures in Indianapolis and how it is affecting the economy. It was an eye-opening excercise, but certainly not surprising.

While the data reveals the state of foreclosures in Indianapolis (Marion County), the depth of what the statistics doesn’t reveal is mind boggling. The far reaching effect of foreclosures in many areas of Marion County will probably not be known for several years. I certainly have opinions about how we reached this point, which I’ll write about next; first I’ll show you the statistics.

*2009 data through 6/30/2009      *YonY = year on year % increase

Although I’m not a big gambler, I’m willing to bet the % of foreclosures in Indianapolis was less than 2003 or close to the same percentage. Back then we ranked in the top 10 states for % of foreclosures, often in the top three. Right now, we rank #13. Staggering………….

Family - Friends - Horses

There's room for eveyone here. Located in the Brownsburg - Danville area of Hendricks County is this perfectly maintained, updated home.

This is one of those homes where memories are made. Not only will you enjoy coming home at the end of the day -  family gatherings will always be a special occasion.

What I love about this home is the neighborhood and land. Timberbrook is a small enclave of homes sitting on wooded front lots. Most builders today remove all the trees to build in custom neighborhoods. When the homes in Timberbrook were built, they left the trees in tact and the homes were built back from the street. It's a beautiful, serene and peaceful view from the front porch or looking out from any window in the home.

Inside is a beautifully updated home with tile, hardwood floors and space for everyone.
