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!

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………….
In a recent post, I told about my trip to Lockerbie Square. This is an area of Indianapolis which has undergone revitalization. Most of the original homes have been refurbished, restored and updated, while retaining the original historic quality of the neighborhood. These older homes and neighborhoods have become popular for home buyers in Indianapolis.
Lockerbie Square is the oldest surviving neighborhood in Indianapolis and one of the nation's pre-eminent examples of Victorian restoration.
I met one of the homeowners while she was out trimming her gardens. I was amazed by the pristine condition of her home, which you could tell has been lovingly cared for. She showed me around her gardens; we talked about some of the history and changes she has observed in the 17 years she has lived in Lockerbie Square. I like knowing the scoop, so told her I would check back for an update.
Here's a look at her home:

Real Estate is my full-time profession. As a professional, I spend time educating myself about the current trends in my local market, ensuring my clients receive the most up-to-date information available to help them make informed decisions. Education to me is not just a one or three day event, but an ongoing process. It's the continual pursuit of both formal and informal training which translates into a greater understanding of what buyers and sellers want and need in a real estate professional. With the rapid change in the assimilation of information, staying informed provides a greater advantage for my clients.
When you are considering a professional to assist you in your real estate decisions, I would appreciate the opportunity to apply for the position. I don't take advantage of a contract to gain your trust and confidence. I intend to prove my value by my work ethic and performance.
Selling Your Home
When you are selling your home in Indianapolis, I understand your home may likely be your largest financial investment. My first goal is to gain an understanding of you, your home, and your expectations. Evaluating your goals and timeframe assists in determining the best approach for marketing and pricing of your home. If time is your motivating factor, my advice and marketing strategy would be different than if obtaining top dollar were your highest priority. Often times, with a bit of work and minimal cost, you don't have to sacrifice one for the other. Since no two homes or their owners are alike, I do not presume to know what you need until we meet and evaluate your situation and your home.
Once your needs are determined, we will start the process for getting your home on the market. With approximately 85% of buyers starting their search online, you need a marketing plan which optimizes the strength of the internet. As an e-Pro agent, I am specifically trained in the use of the internet and technology as it relates to Real Estate. I am one of only 24 agents in Indianapolis who are e-Pro certified. Combining my internet experience with traditional marketing, my extensive marketing plan is designed to maximize your homes visibility and the return on your investment.
Contrary to popular belief, marketing your home is not the most important task I perform. Protecting your interest in the contract, disclosures and inspection process is my top priority. You will be kept apprised of all pertinent information and receive expert advice and consultation throughout the process. Some of the important issues you may encounter:
You will always be kept up to date on changes affecting your home with frequent market updates.
Buying a Home
When you're ready to invest in a home in Indianapolis or the surrounding area, you will undoubtedly have questions. As a professional, I am dedicated to helping you obtain the best home for you. As an Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR), I am trained in the specifics of representing buyers.
There are some very definate issues you will want to consider.
How much are the taxes? If a new build, are the taxes based on improvements?
Are there any special assessments or planned assessments?
Is there a Homeowner Association? If so, what are the fees? Are the fees mandatory or voluntary? Are there any special assessments planned for the community? What is the financial strength of the HOA?
Is there a well or septic on the property?
These are just a few of the issues which can ultimately affect the real cost of ownership? The inspections and fees can equal a substantial amount, both in upfront fees and monthly costs.
There are many forms, documents and disclosures involved in every real estate transaction. Each year there is a new law which affects the way in which the transfer of real estate is conducted. What used to be a one page contract is now enough paperwork to fill a binder.
Professional advice in the real estate transaction is just the beginning of becoming a well educated homeowner. You can start gathering information by downloading these complimentary books. If you have additional questions, please contact me.

"The entire experience was surprisingly pleasant."
We are very lucky for having found this place and for having you as a selling agent. The entire experience was surprisingly pleasant. Based on hearsay, I expected a lot of obstacles in buying a house which of course did not occur at all--thanks to you.

"You always feel like you're #1 with Paula."
Paula Henry is not your typical Real Estate agent who just wants to help you sell or purchase your home. She is someone with character and integrity, who takes time to sit down with you, get to know you and your family, to find the qualities you want in your future home, your likes and dislikes, the goals you want to reach and with all of this in mind and heart, will get the job done! You always feel like you're #1 with Paula.
She keeps you updated on all the latest information and/or listings of new homes which have the qualities YOU are looking for; not just any old house that comes on the market. She will keep you updated when your house is in escrow, will answer any questions and concerns, and will talk you through any moments of stress you face when buying or selling a home.
