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.

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%.
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.

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!
Have a question about neighborhoods or real estate taxes in Brownsburg, contact us.

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 sellingyour 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 90% 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.
My commitment to Client Care and service is backed by the referrals of my previous clients. If you would like a list of contacts, just ask me.
"We have full and complete confidence..."
Our experience with Paula was exceptional on both selling and buying of our homes. Her professionalism and passion is unmatched. Paula was available at any time to show or look up a home for us. In searching for our home we became quite picky and we knew what we wanted and where. Paula never missed a beat when it came to what we wanted most. We have full and complete confidence in her opinion and trust in her ability. Our experience was fulfilled to the utmost and Paula got us the best deal for our home and then found the perfect home for us live in.
-J. Doyle & Y. Morales
You have been a wonderful Realtor; we just want to say thanks for going above and beyond.
-S. & M. Thorpe
"She truly cares about her clients..."
Paula was my aunt's Realtor, both in the sale of her condo and purchase of a new home. Paula has many fine qualities, she truly cares about her clients and is always looking out for their best interest. I would highly recommend Paula for handling the purchase or sale of your home.
-D.Henderson
Many thanks for all your help with my house. Thanks for arranging for the repairs-that was so helpful and thoughtful.
-N. Israel
"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.
-M. Dang
"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.
