Leasing vs. Buying a Home in Brownsburg, IndianaOK, I just can't help myself. I am obsessed with statistics, as you well know if you've ready any of my blog posts here. This is a comparison I've been wanting to do for a while. I've known that for many years, leasing a home (not apartment) in Brownsburg on its face costs more than buying. I wanted to see if I could determine just how much.Yes, there are many factors to consider when comparing these two things. I also routinely point to one of my favorite saying when it comes to statistics:"If you torture the data long enough, it will confess to anything." -Ronald CoaseHaving said that, I would like to present a couple of graphs I created based on our local market. It probably over-simplifies things, but you should get the general idea of... 08/31/2016

Lots and New Home Builds - BrownsburgAfter my post a few days ago about the inventory free-fall in our area, I got a comment asking about the number of lots for sale here, and how that might be another good indicator of choice for home buyers. There is some data in the BLC regarding lot and new home sales, but you have to keep in mind that not all new construction or lot sales are reported. Many of these sales happen outside of the BLC. With this in mind, however, I was able to pull what data is available. This should give a pretty decent overview of new construction activity here. Check out these graphs:      Considering having your next home built in Brownsburg or the surrounding area? Be sure to have a REALTOR® on your side. Remember, the home builder's sales rep works for the builde... 08/17/2016

 Well, that’s a bit of a misnomer. Unless you reside along the shore of one of Metro Indy’s three reservoirs, pickin’s here are pretty slim. In fact, most lakes in these parts are between five and fifteen acres in size and look a lot like this:Something that often seems to confuse real estate agents around here is what the difference is between a lake and a retention pond. For local purposes, a body of water that follows the geographic contour of an area, and could be natural or man-made, by damming a stream (as shown in the picture below to the left) is a lake. A retention pond might be natural, but most here are of the man-made variety as a result of creating subdivisions (below right).  Living on a retention pond is not the same thing as living on a lake. I repeat: LIVING ON A RETENT... 12/01/2015

You’re about to close a deal to become a tenant in Brownsburg. The landlord seems like a straight shooter and the place is a joy: immaculate and welcoming. Now all that’s left is to wait for the landlord’s okay after an evaluation of you as the new Brownsburg tenant, right?  Well, not quite. Just as the landlord should check financial or job references as part of their due diligence, you have some to perform for your own benefit. It’s up to you to assess the landlord’s system to determine whether this rental arrangement is the good fit you hope it is. Only by asking pertinent questions can you decide whether the landlord’s management style and expectations align with your needs. 1. Do you offer emergency maintenance services? When a plumbing leak becomes uncontrollable or the heater goe... 10/29/2014

  When the American Institute of Architects reports on emerging trends, sooner or later they’ll be showing up in the Brownsburg listings. That’s been true of one trend the AIA started reporting in 2010: the move to ever-larger square footages. But now a more interesting finding is developing. It’s one of the principal findings in the AIA’s 2014 Home Design Trends Survey—one that falls into the category of “emerging home characteristics”—one likely to become more commonplace in coming years. Combining several different attributes, it is best summarized by the single term “accessibility.” “Residential architects report that the most significant trend in home layouts is improving accessibility,” writes Kermit Baker, the AIA’s Chief Economist. With a large segment of the population reachin... 07/29/2014

Shout Out to the Lady Bulldogs! It's high school basketball tournament time in Indiana once again, and the Brownburg High School Lady Bulldogs are looking to make some noise this year. Sectionals, which got under way this week in town featured a matchup between Brownsburg and their tourney foes for the past three seasons, the Ben Davis Giants. Brownsburg had lost seven of the last eight meetings with Ben Davis, and were ousted from sectionals three years in a row by them. Last night was different as the Lady Bulldogs dug deep and, behind the leadership of North Carolina-bound and Indiana Miss Basketball candidate Stephanie Mavunga, rallied to defeat the Giants 40-39. BHS is now 19-3 on the year after their wins over Southport and Ben Davis. They will face Pike in the sectional champions... 02/08/2013

Never in our History has there been such a great time to buy a home.  Buyers of Real Estate can get so much more for their money.  More square footage, better quality, more amenities, lower interest rates and of course lower mortgage payments.  Buying a home now seems to be the best time ever to buy your dream home in the Hendricks County Indiana area.  The experts are saying by the end of the year that interest rates will increase to perhaps as high as 5%.  One percent means an increase of 10% in your mortgage payment. In 1981 home owners in the Brownsburg, Indiana area were spending 36% of their income on house payments but in 2009 they were paying out only 15% of their income towards mortgage payments.  If you have a job and you have a credit score of at least 620 its fairly easy to ... 01/28/2011

The Window of Opportunity for Home Owners here in Brownsburg, Avon and the Indianapolis area to Sell their Home is now.  Foreclosures all over the State of Indiana and across the nation have been pulled out of the market because of the current Foreclosure freeze.  Talking to a local REO Broker in Brownsburg (unnamed)said that out of the 78 listings they had listed, 29 were pulled.  Thats 37% of the Brokers Foreclosure inventory off the market.   The statistics vary but if this is correct then a large portion of properties that were on the market are not competing with current Home owners trying to sell their property.  Speaking with this broker the Broker agreed with me that this is a great opportunity for the Home Owners wishing to sell their Real Estate because all of the competing fo... 10/19/2010

Thank Goodness its Friday just doesn't count in the Real Estate business.  This weekend I have a possible Real Estate listing in Mooresville and will be showing property to a Real Estate Buyer in Avon and Brownsburg.  The phone never stops ringing and the e-mails keep coming from buyers or other Realtors asking questions about my Listings or other listings other Realtors have.  I'm not complaining because I love what I do and it all comes with being a Realtor but my husband when he comes home is done.   I am not. I have to admit I am a bit envious that he can put it all away but then I know that even if I could, I would then be looking for something else to do.   Sometimes I think, just a few hours to shut it off would be nice, sometimes you get that window but most times you don't.  Th... 10/15/2010

A Short Sale can take an unbelievable amount of time.  This Short Sale started back in April and we literally pulled it off of the court house steps.  We got an offer in just days before the sale but didn't actually find out til the day after the sale if it had been pulled.  The days before were spent making phone calls and making more phone calls.  Being put on hold is the way of life in the process of a short sale so I happily spent hours on the phone trying to make sure they new that the property had a legitimate offer.  Well its now Oct and we just got an accepted offer from BOA.  The buyer is thrilled and boy am I.  Everyone envolved is very happy that this file is coming to a close. A short Sale is a patient game but can be worth it in the end.  Short Sales can be a happy beginnin... 10/04/2010

  The numbers for the Brownsburg real estate market are somewhat baffling for October 2007.  The number of homes sold stayed the same while the average sales priced drastically reduced. In October 2007, 41 Brownsburg homes sold with an average selling price of $169,918. The average home took 86 days to sell and received 95% of the asking price.  October 2006 saw the exact same amount of closings, 41, with an average selling price of $195,382.  In October 2006 the average home had 65 days on the market and received 96% of the asking price.     As you can clearly see the number of homes sold remained unchanged over last year, while the average selling price dropped just over 19% from October 2006.  There are currently 384 homes in Brownsburg for sale with an average asking price of $201,... 11/06/2007
