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.

Avon- December 2009	#Homes Sold	Average Price	Days on Market
2008	47	$161,732	74
2009	50	$173,849	84
% Difference	+6%	+7%	+12%

 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.
