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. Read More......

*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………….

Chapel Glen in Indianapolis

Chapel Glen is an established neighborhood of homes in Indianpolis on streets lined with mature trees and large grassy lawns. Chapel Glen has long been a favorite community of people moving to Indianapolis west side.  The neighborhood consists of single story, two story and tri-level homes built between 1964 and 1977. The homes range in size from about 1400 square foot to over 3000 square foot.

I recently had the opportunity to tour several homes in the neighborhood and my clients eventually decided on a 1700 square foot single story home which had been updated. The family room had a full wall fireplace with a hearth, great for a cold winters night. They have a four season room and large deck, a bricked front courtyard and a large lot. The beauty of an established neighborhood like Chapel Glen is evident in homes such as this one.

 

Chapel Glen Elementary School is located in the center of the neighborhoood across from the Community Center and Park. A serene walk through the neighborhood provides a view of the water fountain and paved walking trails. The park has basketball court, picnic and seating areas, great for a relaxing afternoon or watching the children at play. The community pool will keep you cool in the summer.

The current homes available range from a 1460 single story for $149,900 to a 2600 single story for $187,500.

Real Estate provides an opportunity to meet people from all different walks of like with specific needs and wants in their Indianapolis home.

I often encounter those who want to try their hand at flipping properties. As long as they know what they are getting into and have adequately considered both the renovation and holding cost, I will be their real estate scout.

Others, want to buy something low and fix it up themselves, also known as "sweat equity". I admire, appreciate and applaud those who are able to do the work themselves. Their goal and dream is to have a home they have created. My goal is to help them achieve their dream.

I also have clients who are weighing the cost of remodeling their home or adding on vs. selling and moving into something new or bigger. This is often a task which involves serious conideration since you are living in the home while it is being renovated. A homeowner also does not want to put more into the home than the potential resale value.

Then there is always a person. like myself, who dreams of remodeling and renovating one of the Historic, Victorian homes in Lockerbie Square. Now, that's a project!

Each of these scenarios has their own advantages and disadvantages. My advice is "always consider the true cost of taking on such a project". I often find those who have underestimated the cost of a project end up losing much more in the end, if they have to sell before finishing the project.

 

My recommendation is to seek an expert in the field of remodeling and renovation. Having expert advice beforehand can save you thousands later. One such renovation company in Indianapolis is Renovation Resources.  Jeff Echols is a Renovation Consultant who has experience in determining the cost involved in remodel and renovation of properties.

 

Jeff's experience includes:

• An architect by training in the residential market for the past 10 years and more varied markets the 5 years prior having worked on everything from corporate headquarters to preserving historic covered bridges and firehouses.
• He has very strong ties to the construction field having worked in just about every major trade.
• His current projects range from a second floor addition, a master suite / pool house / summer kitchen addition, a complete home renovation, to an exterior facade renovation of a small but prominent condo building downtown.
• Evaluates properties that clients are considering purchasing for the renovation / remodel potential.

Contact Jeff Echols before you begin the project. You'll save time and money.
