The Farmers Market in Avon

I recently stopped by the Avon Farmers Market for some fresh vegetables and fruit. I grabbed some zucchini, tomatos and canteloupe among other items. It's one of the great pleasures of summer in Indianapolis. I have wonderful memories of eating fresh tomatos, but can't seem  to grow them myself, so I feast on the product of anothers green thumb - or should I say red thumb.

I always stop to admire the beautiful flowers and plants while I am there. Not only do they have the best vegetables and fruit  - they have a greenhouse of beautful plants and flowers, along with garden accessories.

Stop by and get your fresh produce; you may also find a new houseplant or flowers for your garden.We added some Cannalilly's and Hibiscus to our yard…

FHA Mortgage Insurance Premiums to Increase

Friday, August 6th, 2010 at 4:41pm. 117 Views, 0 Comments.

The Senate has approved important changes affecting FHA financing. The changes will increase the monthly cost of FHA mortgage insurance premium, while reducing the upfront costs. 

According to the release from HUD, the upfront MIP, which is currently 2.25% of the loan amount will decrease to 1.0%, while the monthly premiums will increase from .55% to .85% for financed amounts of 95% or less of purchase price and .90% of financed amounts more than 95% of purchase pricet.

Typically, we see homebuyers in Indianapolis who finance with an FHA loan put 3.5% down. In this scenario the MIP would increase to .90% monthly. On a home costing $150,000, with 3.5% down and financing your upfront MIP, you would have a loan amount of $146,197. making your monthly MIP…

Avon Market Report 2008-2009

Monday, February 15th, 2010 at 10:24pm. 163 Views, 0 Comments.

Avon Indiana real estate market report comparison for 2008 and 2009. The trending data indicates the market is starting to move up, with both number of homes sold and the price point in Avon ending higher in 2009 than in 2008. My personal observation is the price point has moved up in the lower end of the market and down in the higher end of the market.

In the spring and early summer of 2009, there were many foreclosures and bank owned homes selling below $80,000. That market has all but disappeared in Avon, as the lower price point is nearing an average of $90,000. If the interest rates stay low and the snow ever goes away, I believe we will see good sales numbers this year.
