July 2010

It seems like everyone is talking about the fact that Fishers was named the #8 best place to live by CNN Money.  What I don’t hear as much about is that Carmel is just a few spots back at #14.  That is 2 spots in the top 15 for Hamilton County and that is very impressive!  It is no wonder everybody want to live in Hamilton County!  Great schools, great sense of community, and almost no crime are just a few of the reasons Carmel finds itself in the #14 spot.  In addition, although the housing prices in Carmel are, locally, on the more expensive side, nationally, the home prices in Carmel are ridiculously affordable.  Everyone locally already know Carmel is a very desirable place to live but it is nice to see it continually get national recognition. 

Get ready to pile another national accolade touting Fishers as one of the best places to live in 2010.  CNN Money has named Fishers Indiana the 8th best place to live in the US in their list of best small cities.  This is just another notch in the belt for Fishers which is constantly being recognized as one of the premier place to live, work, and raise a family in the US.  And why not?  Fishers boasts incredibly affordable homes, sensational schools, a great sense of community, and an amazingly family friendly atmosphere.

The CNN article has some good stats about Fishers in general so I thougt I would post a few more details about Fishers homes:

-    There are currently 737 Fishers homes on the market
-    The average asking price is $288,951
-    747

The Geist Lake Coalition is celebrating its annual 4th of July fireworks show the “Blast on the Bridge” this coming Sunday July 4 2010.  This year it looks like the weather is going to cooperate and should be a great night of family fun.  

The Fall Creek bridge will close to vehicle traffic at 5:30 and the Bridge Party starts at 6:00.  There will food and beverage vendors, a boat parade and a water ski show all before the main event.  The fireworks themselves are set to go off at 10:00 pm. 

If you are on the water on in the area and want to browse the real estate for sale, take a look at our Geist waterfront homes and Geist homes pages to see what is available.  Also, if you are looking for waterfront real estate we offer Geist home tours by boat.  

Red Door Real Estate is proud to announce we now offer boat tours for Geist waterfront real estate.  If you are considering purchasing a home on Geist Reservoir, you must experience it from the water as well as by land.  It is a completely different perspective and one that can have a major impact on the buying decision.  

How does the home look from the water?  How much of an idle zone do you have to go through to get to the main body?  How deep and navigable is the canal?  How long will take to get back to your house if you run out of cold beverages on the water :) ?

 
These are all very important factors when considering waterfront properties on Geist.  Plus, it is just more fun to look at homes from a boat.  So, if you are considering a home on the
