fishers homes for sale: October Tips for Homeowners - 09/27/10 07:46 AM
I write a monthly newsletter each month; and one of the features is the Homeowner's Corner.  It is where I suggest things that a homeowner should do for that month to maintain their home. 
So I thought I would share some of those tips with my Fishers Real Estate readers here.
Clean all of your gutters once the leaves have fallen; otherwise when snow arrives and melts, it may cause leaking into your home.  At the same time, it is good to trim tree branches and other vegetation away from your house/gutters. Care at the end of the gardening season will … (2 comments)

fishers homes for sale: Fishers Real Estate by Google - 09/24/10 07:46 AM
In July of 2008 I wrote my first blog on Fishers Real Estate, and for the last two years I have been writing almost twice a week to cover Fishers neighborhoods, hot spots and what sets me apart from other Fishers REALTORS. 
I write for many reasons.  I write to ensure I have my pulse on the Fishers Real Estate market with the monthly market reports and to know the details of various neighborhoods in terms of price per sq ft and days on the market with the neighborhood reports. 
I love selling homes in Fishers because they almost sells themselves.  It has been … (0 comments)

fishers homes for sale: Fishers Realtor gives Top 3 Search Tool Secrets - 06/05/10 08:29 AM
I am beginning to see signs of buyers reentering the Fishers Real Estate market after a 30 day lull from the tax credit expiration.  Some of this is the normal Spring time "I want a bigger or smaller house" buyers and some of it may be due to the lower interest rates, they were 4.75% last week on a 30 year fixed!
Many of you who read my blog know that I was an Accountant for St. Vincent Hospital before I became a Realtor many years ago.  So I feel compelled to tell you that the difference between 4.75% and 5.00% … (1 comments)

fishers homes for sale: Top 3 Picks for Fishers Bargains, Deals and Steals - 05/25/10 03:38 PM
As the tax credit fades away, some buyers are still looking for a bargain, steal or deal in their home purchase.  Your Fishers Realtor keeps track of those and can actually set you up to see them as they come on the market also.
There are twelve "distressed properties" currently on the market and 11 of them are less than 60 days on the market; they go quickly.  I did not pull the "Possible Short Sale" ones because they are so iffy...
My number 1 pick for a deal is 7549 Meadow Ridge Drive in Berkley Grove.  This is one of … (0 comments)

I have been so busy with people relocating to the Fishers area; it reminds me to be thankful we have such a great community to share with others.
I have many doctors, professors and even one couple that wants to move here from New York because they have read so much about Fishers, Indiana.  This couple is selling their home in New York and moving here to find jobs and buy the home of their dreams.  I took them on a tour this past Saturday.
We definitely looked at some homes for sale in Fishers, but also I took them by … (1 comments)

It doesn't look like good news for the Fishers Real Estate market as we begin 2010, the number of units sold is down 12% from last year at this time.  The percentage of distressed property or new home construction in Fishers is consistent at about 20% of the inventory sold for these categories in both 2009 and 2010.
I can provide some good news though in analyzing this data.  The average price per sq ft and the days on market both saw significant improvements.  When I do this analysis, I look at everything that sold that was less than $500,000 because those … (0 comments)

fishers homes for sale: Should I have my home Inspected? - 01/17/10 01:57 AM
Most of my clients want an inspection but every so often I get this question.  It usually comes from someone who is fairly handy and does a good job of looking at the home prior to buying it.  However, I still think an inspection is one of the cheapest ways to ensure you are getting a good home and not a money pit.
I recently was watching an episode of Income Property on HGTV and during the episode, the contractor found so much mold and about a dozen dead birds in one of the basement closets.  I had to ask myself, … (7 comments)
