One major way to enhance the curb appeal of any Fishers house is to freshen it with a new coat of paint in an attractive color scheme that adds life and beauty. However, when the weather turns really hot, it’s best to hold off on painting the exterior of your Fishers house. When paint dries too quickly, it creates all …
There’s no doubt that high mortgage rates are discouraging Indianapolis home buyers—which made last Monday’s Wall Street Journal piece about a “more popular option” of special interest to Indianapolis home sellers. The option under the spotlight was “an unlikely source: the seller of their house.” Although the story laid out various scenarios where that solution has been adopted, it’s still …
Last Thursday, under the headline “The Housing Recession is Over…,” Indianapolis real estate observers found a MarketWatch report laden with positive indicators. All of them were, however, less than earth-shaking in scale. The optimism-tinged phrases like ‘ticked up,’ ‘inched up,’ and ‘small positive increase’ were balanced by negative results that were equally minuscule—‘falling only slightly,’ was one of those.

We may not think about it often, but as the median age of the country’s population creeps steadily higher, it has many effects on the daily lives of all of us—regardless of age. It would be shocking if it weren’t so, given the size of the shift: the median age of the U.S. population in 1920 (Boomers’ parents’ era) was …
Carmel homeowners have ample reason to expect to attract bids that reflect the recent run-up in U.S. real estate prices, but that alone shouldn’t lull them into complacency as they prepare their property for entry into the Carmel listings.

Lipford is a contractor who demonstrates practical tips on how Fishers do-it-yourselfers might remodel outdated or rundown areas in their homes with little more than ambition, energy, and a few bucks. He makes it …
If there’s one question about Indianapolis residential real estate that is posed more often than others it’s the one that’s hardest to answer: “What do you think? Are prices heading up or down?” Usually, that question is an easy one to answer without really answering: “Short term, anyone’s guess. Long-term, history says, ‘almost certainly, up’!” It has a lot of …
At least at the beginning, Indianapolis real estate doesn’t automatically find its way into many retirement plans because hands-on investments aren’t among the simplest ways to invest. For youthful investors, building a sturdy retirement portfolio is a new endeavor—and it is much simpler to earmark a regular amount to be automatically invested at regular intervals. A mutual fund or other …
It’s always a good idea for local homeowners who are in the planning stages for some serious property updating to check into some of the new Carmel home design trends that have recently surfaced. It’s not that they are likely to mindlessly follow the newest and greatest trends—few homeowners actually make expensive decisions based on those. It’s more likely that …
The exclusive story topping Thursday’s Weekly Real Estate News really shouldn’t have come as much of a surprise to Fishers listing watchers who have kept up with 2023’s real estate currents.
