Homeowners across the state of Indiana will enjoy lower property taxes as the state has lowered residential taxes and increased commercial taxes. A large deduction for owners of Indianapolis townhomes and homes allows the tax reduction, although Indiana homeowner taxes have actually increased.

According to the City of Carmel newsletter:

·          A Carmel home valued at $190,200 in 2009 will pay $1,481 in property taxes, a $643 decrease over the past 10 years.

·          A Fishers home valued at $190,000 in 2009 will pay $1,645 in property taxes, a $910 decrease over the past 10 years.

With such a stream of disappointing news from the media, it is exciting to see reporting on opportunity and positive growth within the real estate industry. 
 

The recent article from the Associated Press, Number of first-time home buyers is increasing, details a growing market for Indiana home builders and real estate professionals. According to the article, the number of first time home buyers rose to 2% to 41% of all 2007 real estate transactions. Low interest rates, expanded choice and the flexibility of first time home buyers create a great market opportunity for Indianapolis townhomes and Indianapolis real estate in general.

Strengthening the confidence and knowledge of first-time home buyers, especially during a time when the media is creating doubt abouttheir investment decision, while providing outstanding service, will help develop a long term relationship with these new homeowners.

MyEstridgeHome.com gives every new Estridge homeowner their own personal website that they can use to share their building experience with friends and family. People considering a new Estridge home can also search homeowner photos to find ideas and see the behind-the-scenes quality of every Estridge home.

Carmel, IN October 27, 2008 – The Estridge Companies creates MyEstridgeHome.com to make it easier for homeowners to show their new home to friends and family. Each Estridge homeowner gets their own website where they can upload and share pictures of their home during construction. As photos are added the site is automatically updated to show the home’s progress. Their friends and family simply need to visit their website to see the new pictures.

“Homeowners visit the construction sites every day to watch the progress of their new home. We wanted to give them a tool to share this with their friends and family. It’s also a great tool for the Estridge team to show progress of the home construction to homeowners who are moving from out of town.” – Scott Comer, Vice President of Internal Operations

In addition to individual homeowner websites, MyEstridgeHome.com also provides the ability to search and view photos uploaded by Estridge and Estridge homeowners. This gives visitors the opportunity to see many different Estridge homes and designs, as well as see homes under construction, which isn’t often available to the public.

“MyEstridgeHome is a great tool for our homeowners, as well as those looking for a new home or even decorating ideas. With so many homebuyers beginning their search online, our goal is provide as much information as possible. Often homeowners don’t have a lot of exposure to new homes under construction, except in the neighborhoods. Our website gives them the opportunity to see the home designs at all stages – from construction to complete and fully decorated.” – Mary Catharine Grau, Director of Marketing

On MyEstridgeHome.com, web users can find over 700 pictures of Estridge model homes, homes under construction and homes available now, and more photos are added for every home that is built.

For additional information about Estridge Homes or MyEstridgeHome.com, contact Mary Catharine Grau or visit Estridge.com.

After the release of Distinctive Neighborhood Design and our new luxury home designs earlier this summer, we began building our new home designs in Estridge neighborhoods to be available this fall as Estridge Homes Available Now. They are really beginning to take shape and we recently had the opportunity to walk a few of the new homes.

The photos below are of the Hanover, being built in Centennial at 146^th Street on homesite #76. The exterior of the home is HardiPlank siding with beautiful detailing that will take shape as the home moves along. You can see some of  the details that will be added to the home in the drawing on the left – window boxes, lattice, front porch columns, shutters, and much more.

While many of the custom finish details are not visible inside or outside the home right now, walking through it, you can really see the spaciousness of the rooms and the thoughtfulness of the design’s layout and flow.

 
The full home design of the Hanover is :

Below you can view photos from the new home under construction. As the construction on our new home designs progresses, more photos will be added so you can watch the homes taking shape.  

Arched opening leads from the kitchen and harvest room to the spacious great room. The great room shares a dual-sided fireplace with the den. The large windows and door to garden patio contribute a lot of sunlight to this living space.

The den is entered with an arched opening off of the guest foyer. The sunny den also shares the dual-sided fireplace.

The mom’s office is the door off of the kitchen and opens into a sizeable walk-in pantry. The harvest room in the kitchen is really spacious – large enough for a 12-person table. It houses a furniture niche as well. The arched entry into this area adds a lot of elegance to the space.

The PDA Pantry is located in the Family Foyer off of the oversized garage. This smartly-designed area will include shelves for items like purses, wallets, etc. and a closed cabinet wired to house all of your chargers. This closed cabinet will occupy half of the width. The other half will be more shelves to actually hold the cell phones, PDAs, I-pods, etc. They can then be plugged in without the mess of wires everywhere. Very handy!

The upper level of the Hanover includes a loft that overlooks the 2-story guest foyer. Although not pictured, the tray ceiling in the master really distinguishes the master and is much more energy efficient than a vaulted ceiling.

This new Estridge home is priced at $325,000.

You can view it in Centennial at 146^th Street at

14910 Declaration Drive

Westfield, Indiana 46074

The entire Centennial Collection of homes is featured on the Estridge website.

Centennial at 146^th Street is located in Westfield and features the Centennial Collection, Meridian Collection and Irvington Collection homes, as well as Lockerbie Townhomes.

According to a Harvard University study in 2006, 1 in 5 buyers of real estate are women. Additionally, single women have made up more than 1/3 of the real estate growth since 1994. There are twice as many unmarried women buying homes than single men leading to a new trend for residential builders where more features are built to cater to women. The Boston Condo Domain Blog lists a few features that female buyers are looking for:

·         Safe, urban neighborhoods

·         Close proximity to public transportation

·         Walking distance to stores and restaurants

·         New kitchens with islands for entertainment

·         Newly finished hardwood flooring

·         Light-colored walls

·         Bathrooms with soaking tubs as well as showers

·         Ample drawer and counter space

·         Walk-in closets

·         Gas fireplaces

·         Well-lit parking

·         Condos with front door guard

·         Home security systems

The Lockerbie Townhomes in Centennial have always appealed to many different homeowners, simply because of the unique home designs and location. Recentely, we have seen an increase in female homeowners in our townhomes, both single and with young children, attracted by the design and the true neighborhood lifestyle. The 2-story townhomes provides great space with 9’ ceilings and open layouts. With features and finishes such as granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, garden tubs, fireplaces, organized walk-in closets and more, the townhome features are above and beyond that of many Indianapolis Townhomes in a similar price range. The location in Westfield close to the Monon and Clay Terrace dining and shopping is ideal for those looking to enjoy the maintenance-free lifestyle. And the neighborhood amenities in Centennial – miles of walking trails, bark park, community garden, swimming pools, tennis and volleyball courts, KinderCare and more – have something for everyone.

As I watched TV the other morning, I saw a familiar place in a Fox 59 morning news commercial - Wood Wind Golf Club. The news team introduces their neighborhoods and asks viewers to send them information on their own. Jim O'Brien's neighborhood is "hitting the links at Wood Wind."

In November, Estridge purchased and began managing Wood Wind at 161st Street and Towne Road in Westfield. The course and the facility have undergone a lot of changes in that short amount of time. New staff, new clubhouse, new catering partner, new entrance and even changes to the course itself!

The course looks great and lots of golfers and junior golfers are enjoying it this summer. It's nice to see it on screen!
