There are nearly 700 homes for sale in Carmel Indiana and I'm working my way through all of the neighborhoods.  Did you know that you can actually search by neighborhood in Carmel; if for example you wanted to live in Williamson Run after reading this post! Williamson Run is an older neighborhood built mostly in the early 90s.  It is located just east of Keystone on between 96th and 106th.  There are 186 homes in Williamson Run and currently there are no active listings.  There have only been 8 that have sold since 3/1/09 through today 2/23/10 which shows the level of transition is very low. Typically a home in Williamson Run is at least 3000 sq ft with a basement.  The garages are split fairly evenly at two and three.  There are many homes with three full baths and sometimes five bedro... 02/25/2010

Kim Schaus with Staging Spaces By Kim Schaus, sent us a few helpful tips in home staging that we wanted to share with our readers. Look at each room in your house by standing in the doorway.  Buyers make fast judgments, and how a room looks when the peek threw the doorway will determine if they walk into the room or not.Paint walls a neutral color.  Buyers have trouble seeing themselves in a space that is decorated to YOUR taste – no matter how beautiful!Clean your home the way you would detail your car to sell it!. Buyers WILL look inside your refrigerator and your closets. They all need to be organized and VERY clean.NO clutter anywhere! Buyers today can be very picky.  If they cannot see the room they can’t see THEIR things in it! Look at it as helping you get packed early! It will m... 02/23/2010

Carmel Indiana home builders pulled 280% more permits in January 2010 that they did in Janaury 2009. This is great news for builders and the market as buyers continue to take advantage of the first and second time buyer tax credit.  In January 2009, which seems to be around the bottom for builders in Carmel, builders pulled 10 new homebuilding permits.  That compares to 38 new permits pulled last month. Most production builders and a few custom builders had the ability to sell a new (from the ground up) home in Janaury and have it finished before the tax credit expires in June.  Some builders still say they can sell and complete a new home in Carmel house in enough time.

Today, there are 683 active homes for sale in Carmel Indiana and 5% of 33 of those are short sales.  Whilte this is not a huge amount in terms of percentage, it is one of the more sought after type of homes in the market.  Many buyers or investors are looking for a deal and short sales sometimes can be that deal. The "short" explanation for a short sale is a property that is going to sell for less than the amount owed on the property.  In other words, the bank is willing to accept less than the full balance due and will usually forgive the difference. Another explanation would be to say the current owner has negative equity.  The amount the home sells for is less than the amount owed so it is negative equity. The question I commonly get is are short sales a bargain?  As with most profes... 02/18/2010

It is all good news for the Carmel Indiana Real Estate market in January!  There were 51 homes that sold in January compared with 50 in January of 2009.  This is better than the news for Fishers Real Estate, they saw a 12% decline January 10 to 09. The number of distressed homes was down just a tad from a year ago and the new home construction was also down a bit.  Both were less than 15% of the total sold. The other good news is the price per square foot and the days on market.  For 2010 the price per sq ft moved to $117 from $107 a year ago!  The days on market (DOM) moved to 100 from 113 a year ago.  That is a 9% improvement in price per sq ft and 12% improvement in DOM. Perhaps the best news is the luxury homes for sale in Carmel Indiana.  I classify that as any home for sale in Car... 02/12/2010

Whether you are a first time buyer or a seasoned buyer, making sense of the MLS sheet is sometimes challenging.  I've included an MLS sheet below with some of the standard questions I get labeled 1-3. Let's start with Label #1.  It is L, F and W.  L stands for the Level of the room . M is main, U is upper and B would be basement.  In this example there is not a Basement so only M and U are used. F stands for the flooring type in the room.  For example, C is for Carpet, T is for Tile and H is for Hardwoods in this example.  Another example of flooring might be V for Vinyl.  Sometimes you will see O as well for Other. W is for Window and it is a yes or no category referring to whether the window "treatments" stay.  Blinds always stay, but a valance or drapes may or may not so it is indica... 02/03/2010
