Indianapolis and Fishers Real Estate

I was very anxious to view 2009 to 2008 to determine if we had declining values in Fishers, specific trends and any good news!  I am an accountant by background and love the analytics of evaluating real estate; I also am a very good negotiator as a result of my previous training.  That is a trait...

There is quite a bit of controversy on the Cap and Trade being discussed; this is more than just the regulation of pollution emitted into the atmosphere.  Their is language being discussed around cap and trade for things that we use daily like gas, electric, etc.  I'm not here to debate the issue...

It's January and very cold tonight!  We could be out looking at the 650 homes for sale in Fishers or we could just take a quick read at the highlights of the last decade!  I will tell you the number of homes for sale right now is about 50 less than normal; that is because if you have an awesome F...
