So, why is  Fully Furnished & Finished a pilot release until January 10^th?

As an Indianapolis new home builder, and like many other organizations, we are constantly looking to better serve our homeowners and build them the home of their dreams. Our home décor store at Clay Terrace in Carmel, HOMExperience, provides us with the unique opportunity of working with homeowners throughout the full home design process - not only building their new luxury home, but furnishing it as well. This relationship presented us with a disconnect which some homeowners feel between the home they imagine themselves living in and the empty one they move in to.

We believe that we can better serve clients by providing them with a fully furnished new Estridge luxury home when they move in. But, we want to know what you think and what our homeowners think. This short pilot release allows us to get feedback from the greater Indianapolis real estate market to see how Fully Furnished homes better serves our homeowners needs. So, we invite everyone to join the conversation.

Visit www.fully.estridge.com to learn more, share your thoughts and provide feedback on how we can better serve our homeowners.

In May, we introduced three new home designs to the Meridian Collection in many Estridge new home neighborhoods. These 2-story homes all boast incredible architectural details and custom features, as they were designed by Greg Cradick, Estridge Custom Galleries Architect. 10’ ceilings throughout the main level, art and furniture niches, open designs, varied window sizing and distinctive window placement and much more combine with Estridge quality construction to create custom home designs with great investment value.

Distinctive architectural details make this home stand out from other new home construction. A sight line from the guest foyer through to the back door creates the illusion of even greater space, as does the close proximity of the two corner windows in the great room. Furniture niches, arches and distinctively sized windows provide design variation and smart placement of furniture. Great flexibility in this new home design also adds to the custom feel of this home - it provides opportunity for at least six bedrooms, as well as a large bonus room, master retreat area, and much more.

One of these new home designs, The Concord in Rock Bridge, is currently under construction and scheduled to be ready for move in September. As a home built for sale, this home offers custom design features such as building a main level guest suite as opposed to an office. As it is being constructed, the Concord available home in Zionsville offers:

3805 Hearthstone Drive, Zionsville 46077

Optimism is the overwhelming attribute you’ll find when speaking with anyone in Indianapolis Real Estate. At Estridge, a strong finish to 2008 with increased activity in December from both future homeowners and real estate partners has led to lots of excitement and activity in our neighborhoods. We are beginning 2009 starting a lot of luxury home building around Indianapolis and that activity is breeding even more.

Incredible interest rates are helping build consumer confidence and a steady decrease in Central Indiana housing inventory throughout 2008 suggests a correction of local housing. While Indiana’s market was never affected as severely as most of the nation’s, all of the excitement is creating a stronger optimistic outlook throughout the industry than was experienced at the beginning of 2008.

In the FC Tucker 2008 market analysis, James Litten, president of F.C. Tucker Company’s Residential Real Estate Services Division stated, “I believe efforts to reform the nation’s lending practices will strengthen consumer confidence in 2009. Moreover, Central Indiana continues to have a strong economic base of business activity and one of the steadiest real estate markets in the nation. I am optimistic that we’ll see improvement in 2009.”

According to panelists from Indiana University’s annual business outlook, Indianapolis should see more positive numbers for Indianapolis in the fourth quarter. Our market could rebound more quickly than other U.S. cities, primarily due to our nationally recognized affordability.

We are definitely looking forward to 2009 – how about you? What have you experienced lately?

Estridge did a wonderful job working with us when we had to change lots. I was physically sick at the thought of not getting to move into our new home, but they were so kind to consider my health reasons for needing a new lot. With no questions asked, they told us to pick a new lot. We truly expected to need a lawyer. Thank you for seeming us as people, and not just a dollar amount. In the end, we both won!
