Originally posted at My Fishers Blog There are 112 condo's for sale in Fishers today!  This is a great option for a first time buyer or someone who is down sizing and no longer wants yardwork and exterior mainteance to dos.  Of the 112 condo's for sale in Fishers, prices range from $49,900 in the Cedar Cove area at 96th and Allisonville to the most expensive at $569,000 at Watersedge.  That seems really pricey given its close proximity to Olio and road noise.  The other high priced one is at Marina Village for $484,000 with 3,000 sq ft and water views. Overall the condo's are priced well below $250,000 (at least 108 of them).  Here are the areas that have an abundance of choices: Avalon (at Olio and 126th) 4 Cedar Cove 8 Conner Creek (at 116th and Allisonville) 5 Highpoint Ridge (at 116...

While I much prefer the lush, green foliage that spring will soon bring to Fishers Indiana, the barren trees of winter do reveal some interesting surprises! You never know what you might find! This huge wasp nest is cozily nestled in the branches of a tree in the Fishers Windermere subdivision. It’s kind of pretty now, but BEEware later when the weather and wasps warm up! Bald face or paper wasps such as the ones that likely occupy this nest are inactive during cold months. So if you have any wasp nests near your Fishers home, the time for extermination is NOW! Here are some helpful hints for safely destroying a wasp nest.   Windermere homes for sale  Fishers homes for sale tips & advice for Fishers homeowners Fishers blog  Fishers information How to choose a Fishers neighborhood Fishe...

You might find me being recommended by a friend or on the internet.  And hopefully it will lead you to this blog post.  I wanted to take today to share some real life stories about how I work with clients. Yesterday, I met a buyer at the home in Fishers they just purchased.  They live out of state and will not be actually moving here for several months.  We just happened to find the home of their dreams when they were here a month ago...and so we've closed.  I met them to get a...

¡Hola Fishers Indiana Mexican food fanatics! There’s a new restaurante in town! Mexico City Grill opened in February 2011 in the newly-renovated Fishers Station Drive shopping complex. A co-worker and I decided to give Mexico City Grill a try recently (oh the things we'll do for a good blog topic), and I’m happy to say that we were happy with our dining experience.  The service was efficient and friendly, the food (grilled fish tacos for me, taco salad for my friend) was very tasty, and the atmosphere was cheerful – to say the least! The décor is really quite eye-catching and made me think I really hope this restaurant is successful, since transforming the space into something less Mexicana seems like it would be a big job! No worries, I’m sure, since even at lunch time the dining room ...

Originally posted at www.myfishersblog.com Over the past few years, new subdivisions in the Fishers Real Estate area have been springing up, specifically along 104th and Olio.  One of the more established neighborhoods in that area is Weatherstone; built primarily in 2001 and 2002.  The builder was Drees and many of the homes are on large lots (over .50) and have over 3,000 sq ft before including the basement sq footage. There are 63 homes in this subdivision; and their turnover is not very high.  In fact in the last six months there has not been a sale.  In looking at this neighborhood and the homes, you can expect to pay about $120/sq ft and expect to get a three car garage, basement, nice lot and at least four bedrooms.  It is conveniently located near Geist Reservoir and also all th...

Now that Spring has found its way to Indianapolis…must have taken a detour of sorts because it has been a long time since we have seen the sun and it’s warmth!  So, I have begun planning.

We are fortunate to have a large field near our office where we hide the eggs.  The deal is that they can get as many eggs as they want, but they must be a different col...

If you’re considering a Fishers Indiana relocation, and also happen to be a runner, walker, or just up for a breath of fresh air every now and then, good news! Fishers has plenty of pedestrian trails to keep you busy! This particularly scenic stretch of Fishers pathway is located along Brooks School Road near beautiful Hamilton Proper. Walking trails border most major roads, connect Fishers neighborhoods, and even take you along the banks of Geist Reservoir. Except on the harshest of winter days, you’ll find people out training for the Geist Half Marathon, walking their dogs, or enjoying a family stroll.

Originally posted at My Fishers Blog There are currently 732 homes for sale in Fishers and there are 162 pended as of today; those pended homes will close at some point and beat the prior year stats.  But, not this month!  We have another month where the homes sold in Fishers are well below the number from last year.   There were 59 homes that sold in Fishers in February compared with 91 a year ago; by the graph you can see that 91 or so was the same number in 2009.  The days on market are also much higher this month at 96 compared with 86 a year ago.  We are still struggling to get out of the high inventory of homes we currenly have on the market.  The good news is that the price per sq ft is much higher this year at $94/sq ft compared with only $87/sq ft last February. The highest pri...

  Did you know.... that Fishers Indiana is full of parks and recreation venues? 15 multi-use parks and athletic fields, to be exact! How's that for a FUN Fishers Fact? Special Fishers parks programs throughout the year include guided nature hikes, campfire meals, summer camps, and teen programs. No wonder Fishers is at the top of Money magazine’s 2010 list of Best Places to Live! Cumberland Park in Fishers is located at the intersection of 106th Street and Cumberland Road. Last week we posted Fishers Indiana photos of Cumberland Park – completely under water thanks to way above average rainfall for the year! But let’s not forget that most of the time Cumberland Park is a beautiful Fishers location, with a multi-purpose path shaded by mature trees and bordering Mud Creek.  Picnic tables ...

Home Inventory Still Low in Fishers, IN There are currently 731 homes for sale in Fishers, IN (Fall Creek and Delaware Township).  In these same 2 townships during the last 12 months, 1,410 homes have SOLD. As the buyer activity has picked up the last few weeks, we are seeing a trend resulting from our low inventory of homes for sale.  Buyers are running out of homes to preview and are starting to see their favorite homes get sold before they make a decision to write an offer.  This is a good thing for our market. The homes that are for sale, priced right and in show ready condition are selling! Some are getting multiple offers! Buyers are being forced to settle or change their original criteria. To all Potential Sellers out there, are you hearing this good news?  Buyers are ready to bu...

  What do you get in Fishers Indiana when you combine record amounts of snowfall followed by torrential rain? A bridge over Lots and LOTS of troubling water, for one thing. And lots and LOTS of road closures for another! These Fishers Indiana photos were taken at Cumberland Park at Cumberland Road and 106th Street. When it’s not under water, Cumberland Park features a beautiful wooded walking path along the banks of Mud Creek (more like Mud Lake right now!), picnic areas and a community center. The park is also home to the Fishers Soccer Club. Wonder if those field will dry out in time for the spring soccer season?  Check back soon for more of Fishers Indiana in photos!   Searching for a Fishers home? I can help!
