I visited a LOT of townhomes this week. I visited real estate everwhere in Hamilton County Indiana, from Fishers to Noblesville to Carmel. Of all of real estate for sale that I previewed for my clients, one of the best townhomes that I viewed was a recent new construction all brick two story home that has a one of a kind look both inside and out. This home is located within the nationally recognized Village of West Clay in highly desirable Carmel, Indiana. "The Village" offers a variety of home types and architectural styles, making morning and evening strolls entertaining events. Common ammenities include: multiple swimming pools, countless playgrounds and vast green spaces, stocked ponds, jogging trails, tennis courts community restaurants, dry cleaners, and other small businesses and quick access to Carmel's most popular destinations!
As you can see in this exterior photo that was just taken today, this property was built with a high level of detail. The exterior is all brick with beautiful large oversized wood framed windows. The exterior roofline is accented with an eye catching dental moulding and decorative dormars. Inside you will find solid maple hardwood flooring in a large living room that gives way to a cooks kitchen and spacious eating area. You will have plenty of space in this townhome's multiple storage closets and large pantry. Upstairs sits 2 large bedrooms and 2 full baths each with square footage to make for the most comfortable of arrangements.
Unlike most townhomes that I see regularly, this particular property has a large and very private all brick oudoor patio that is great for gardening & entertaining. Finally, this home also features a large 2 stall garage with neatly manicured alley access.

As a resident of Morse Reservoir in Noblesville, the ice on Morse Lake can not melt fast enough. With temperatures forecasted to be in the low 50's over the weekend, the "thawing out" period on Morse Reservoir and Geist Lake will be completed very soon.

With it currently snowing outside as I type, it's hard to imagine that Spring is just around the corner. To further prove this fact, the Indianapolis Boat (Sport and Travel) Show is currently under way at the Indianapolis Fair Grounds (February 19-28, 2010). As a resident of Morse Reservoir in Noblesville, the Boat Show gives me a really bad case of Spring fever knowing that boating season and water sports weather is really just around the corner. My family really enjoys living on the water. With opportunities to "float" (boat) over to Wolfie's Waterfront Grill (waterfront restaurant on Morse) for dinner and so many other great water activities to enjoy, living on the lake feels like you're always on vacation during the Summer months!

One of the things that make Century 21 Scheetz special is the extra community "stuff." We as Indianapolis real estate agents get the opportunity to help with many fundraisers that give back to the community that we serve in selling Hamilton County Indiana Homes. That is why the Carmel 4th of July parade is such a fun family event. My children see me out helping people buy and sell homes and it does take alot of "their time." They understand that this is what I have to do right now..but it was good for them to be able to go out on the parade route and be included in another side of our business. They got to pass out candy and feel like they were helping. All the young girls got together and made a cheer to promote Century 21 Scheetz. It was great to see them on the float and enjoying themselves on a misty 4th of July parade.
I have been blessed with clients that have been committed to selling their Hamilton County Indiana Homes. They painted, put new carpet in, and even filled up a portable storage unit to get rid of excess furniture and out of season items. So...now we are in a race to get them the perfect home where they want it. With most lenders and builders requiring that you have sold your occupied home before loaning on a new one has put sellers in a strange position. They really cannot commit to finding their next home until theirs has sold, and then they are in a race to buy their next home when it does sell. I know that a lot of the media has been negative about home sales and the housing market in general. But this pass month I have been in situations with multiple offers on the table. If you need help in addressing these problems please give me a call at 317.814.8216 or email me at lphillips@c21scheetz.com
I had a great day with some buyers getting to know Indy this week. We spent the fay lookin at Hamilton County Indiana homes. They wanted to get to know Geist homes and the understand the nuances being living on an inlet, a full body view, boat slips, and what made one home a good buy verus another. We took a look at more than one dozen Geist homes for sale and I am confident they are leaving town with a better understanding about Indiana homes for sale. They are about to be empty nesters, so this home is going to be 'all about the two of them'...what a delight...their enthusiasm is contagious! There is plenty of inventory to consider and once again, price and condition really play off each other. Mr. Buyer (a goofy real estate term) noticed that many homes could use a little love and attention for the price point. Mr. and Mrs. Seller...put your best foot forward! While the agent fiddles with the lock box, the buyers take it all in, and they notice weeds and trim that needs to be painted! Even when you have fantastic water views like the picture above...your home needs to show pride of ownership and "move in condition." Gorgeous sunny days like ahead and the time is perfect to get out there and find the perfect home...enjoy!
I have clients that have a wonderful home for sale in Westfield Indiana at 2404 Corsican Circle. The interior amenities would be found in a designer model home. I would love to have the sink that they have in their guest bath. Travertine stone throughout the kitchen and African maple floors too. The problem I come across in marketing this Hamilton County Indiana homes is that it is really hard to get the feel of the amenities from the pictures. We hired a professional photographer to take the pictures but I really think that you are only going to get the feel of the property by walking through it. As great as the Internet has become of instant information and allowing clients to see the whole house inside and out..sometimes you just got to go inside. For more information on this fabulous listing contact me at 317.814.8216 or lphillips@c21scheetz.com
The bright shiny Monday morning started out by talking about the successful open houses held over the weekend. Each of the new agents held an open house. AWESOME! There's good news and bad news...First the good...a couple of the new agents established a relationship with buyers and are scheduled to go out and show them homes for sale in Indianapolis. The bad news, it was a very stormy Sunday afternoon. Rain, lightning, and wind! You would think that would keep people away, right? WRONG! Everyone had people come through. I like to end on a good note, so here it is. Nearly 90 open houses were held throughout the Indianapolis market area by CENTURY 21 Scheetz agents. That's a lot of open houses, and a lot of opportunity for someone in the Indianapolis market to win $221,000towards the purchase of their new home. Learn all about how you can win! We even heard that Arlene Janicki-Raby held an open house, one person came through, and wrote an offer! Can't ask for a better Sunday than that now can you?
OK, on to day 6! What happened today, I know you're dying to know! CENTURY 21 Scheetz is known throughout the Indianapolis market area as the leaders in Real Estate Technology! We are proud of that role, and honored to lead the way. So, day 6 was all about technology.
"It's great to see so many of our new agents coming in to the business with laptops, smart phones, and familiar with social media" said Patty Bender, General Manager at CENTURY 21 Scheetz. "It sure makes our job easier, and the agents job a lot easier"
There's always a little bit of overwhelm on a day like today. The tools, resources, and technology provided to agents at CENTURY 21 Scheetz is so much, it's like drinking water from a fire hydrant - But it's exciting, and everyone is eager and jumping in head first!

In a recent sale of my listing in Noblesville Indiana real estate, we had to negotiate three times. Now, you might be asking yourself why three times..after you have an accepted purchase agreement you are done, right? NO, not in this day and age and current market. True that you negotiate price, terms, when the closing will happen, on the purchase agreement..but then comes the inspection and the appraisal.
What happens when the inspection report comes back with numerous repairs that maybe the seller cannot make but the buyer demands?
What happens to the contract if that happens?
At time of inspection the buyer should have already given their earnest money to the listing agent...so what now?
In my Noblesville Indiana real estate home, I had suggested that my clients do a pre-inspection since they were building another Hamilton County Indiana Home. So we knew that our inspection negotiation was going to be minimal. But, unfortunately, a year prior their radon level was not of concern but during the inspection of the purchase the level was too high. So as we were in discussions on that item, the appraisal came back lower than the purchase price. So we had to negotiate the inspection items and appraisal price 5 days prior to closing. Luckily, we ended this in a win-win. My clients had been prepared and informed of all the things that could happen on each step.
This is why it is imperative in this market to deal with a knowledgeable Indianapolis Realtor that is working full-time to represent you! For more information on how I can help you with your negotiations please contact me at 817.814.8216 or Email Lisa Phillips
My clients were able to purchase a bank owned homes as first time home buyers. The homes was located in downtown Indianapolis homes and needed some work. They had money set aside but really did not want to tap it all out on updating the project. I was able to get in touch with an Indianapolis lender that would do a FHA 203k loan. They were able to finance the updates in the project and not have to refinance at a later date. When it comes to purchasing bank owned home Indianapolis or Hamilton County, talk to a Indiana Licensed Realtor that can help you find different avenues to pursue your dream home!
