Went to a Brokers Open today in Stratford Glen and saw 3 nice houses. All 3 priced below $125,000. All 3 houses were well maintained and in my opinion were bargains. It is so nice to see pride of ownership.
Nice ranch in Deer Creek with an excellent floor plan. 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. This 22 year old house has 1658 square feet. Fenced back yard with large deck and a screened in porch. New windows, new paint and flooring, new kitchen appliances and new lighting fixtures. Double sided wood burning fireplace. I had seen this house last year when it needed rehabbing. The owner did an excellent job an I almost did not recoginize it. Priced under $110,000. Call for more info or a showing 317-319-9012.
Compared to last year at this time sales are up 17%.
January sales are up 18%.
Febuary sales are up 22.5%
Currently there are 121 sales pending.
This is the best start of a year in the past 3 years.

Information Deemed Reliable But Not Guaranteed
With more than 60 million Americans living in 315,000 U.S. homeowners associations and condominium communities, tension, frustration and conflict are inevitable.
Associations can face a range of problems—from financial strife related to the current economic climate and housing crisis to conflict between homeowners and association leaders. Issues can involve mandatory homeowner fees, budgetary shortfalls, home foreclosures, architectural guidelines and rules enforcement related to yard signs, holiday decorations, flag poles, pets and parking.
Fortunately, there is free help and information—for homeowners, association leaders and community managers.
The nonprofit Community Associations Institute (CAI) offers free, downloadable information that can help homeowners better understand how associations should function and how to improve communities that are failing to meet resident expectations. Included are:
• An Introduction to Community Association Living—an online presentation that explains the nature, obligations and benefits of living in a common-interest community.
• Rights and Responsibilities for Better Communities—42 principles and practices to help associations promote harmony and reduce the potential for conflict.
• Community Association Governance Guidelines—12 principles that can help association boards identify and meet basic benchmarks of responsible governance.
• Model Code of Ethics for Community Association Board Members
By knowing your rights and the rules and regulations of normal homeowners associations, you can know what to expect and better your living situation.
