December home sales were down across most of the Metropolitan Indianapolis area for the month of December. Below are the numbers for West Indianapolis, including Wayne and Pike Townships, Speedway, Brownsburg, Avon and Plainfield.
What exactly does all this data mean. It is a buyer’s market. If you are searching for a new home in the Indianapolis area, you have a wide range of available properties to choose from. As a seller, make sure your agent has a dynamic marketing plan, you have reasonable expectations about the value of your home and you are prepared to make your home shine against the competition.

After recently purchasing a new camera, I lost the lens cover. A scratched lens does not a pretty picture make, so I headed to a local camera shop to see if I could find a replacement. I did find a replacement and also found the manager, Bill, to be most helpful.
My new camera is foreign to me and taking great pictures in different lighting has been an education. Bill recommended a few items for my camera, one was a protective cover for my lens which helps reduce glare and at the same time, acts to protects the lens.
While, I have had great success with indoor pictures of my clients homes and landscape pictures, night photography has been a challenge, so I bought a tripod and he suggested I use my remote.
I am still learning about photography, as well as my new camera, so Bill suggested a book which covers everything about my camera in plain english. No technical babble! It’s like the camera book for dummies. Now, that is not the name of the book, but it is essentially the same thing and all about my particular camera. They also have videos, in addition to books on many different cameras.
If you need a little help and expert advice about cameras, check out Cord Camera in Plainfield. It’s across US 40 from Metropolis Mall.

Hopefully, you won’t find yourself heading to the Hendricks County Courthouse in Danville any time soon, other than to enjoy the architecture and the city square.
Just be sure you know where the small cities start and keep your speed down when going through town.

Real Estate Statistics Hendricks County- November 2007
The differences beween 2006 and 2007 numbers speak for themselves, The one offsetting value is the 1 property sold in 2007 with 453 days on market. A number that big and so far off of the normals will distort the true average of Days On Market. If we take that one number and add it’s value to the year 2006, it changes the average days on market for 2006 to 93.9.

This time of year, in shopping centers all around the city, I see people struggling to get their shopping done within the time frame of the attention span of their children. Not an easy task. Children don’t like shopping, unless you are spending your time in the toy aisle buying them everything they want. The problem is, they want everything. And don’t try to take them to a store with tiny aisles and no carts, or a store with the perfect collectable for Aunt Mildred. You may end up buying more collectibles than you bargained for.
Don’t get me wrong – I love children. I just remember well the trials of any shopping event with four children, all vying for their favorite toy, cereal, candy, snack. You name it, they wanted it, and they couldn’t all have the same favorite.
Now, you can shop without the children and get in a little parent time.
HIP Studios offers a Parents Night Out program for your little ones. They can play, watch a movie, do crafts and have a snack, while you get your shopping done. During the month of December they are offering the program every Saturday until Christmas, from 5:30 til 12:00 midnight. Their regular Parents Night is the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month.
HIP Studios is located at:
1122 N SR 267
Avon, IN, 46123
You can reach them by phone at 317–946–4357

It’s that time of year again!!
Did you look up in the sky and see them?
Did you hear their noise?
Did you see the little red caps?
Boy, you have to look really high in the sky as they fly past!
Noooo. It wasn’t Santa and his reindeer; it was the annual Sandhill Crane migration!
Each fall, the sandhill cranes leave their breeding grounds in Alaska or Northern Canada and head south to southern United States or Mexico. Tens of Thousands Sandhill Cranes make this migration. Hendricks County is fortunate to be just 2 hours south of the Jasper-Pulaski Fish and Wildlife Area. This wildlife preserve is over 8,000 acres of marshes and wetlands. Each year, the Sandhill Cranes start their migration from Mid September through December and peak around mid November. They stop along the way at harvested fields, wetlands, and marshes.
The Sandhill Cranes are the largest type of cranes in the United States. Although there are 15 different species of crane around the world, only two are native in North America – the Sandhill Crane, and the whooping crane. Standing three to four feet high they have a wing span of six feet. The Sandhill Cranes mate for life, with the pair and their off spring migrating south together. The young cranes grow an inch a day and reach full size in only nine weeks. Cranes are considered the most accomplished dancers in the animal kingdom (the long legs probably help).
According to the Jasper-Pulaski Fish and Wildlife Area, the migration count for the morning of 11/27/07 was 18,050 sandhills and 2 whooping crane! Generally early morning is the best time to spot them. This morning I heard the racket first. It sounded like the roar at a football game! It took awhile for them to come into sight, but there they were – high in the sky flying in a V formation. They tend to fly in circles letting the drifters catch up. Great masses of birds so high I was afraid they would tangle with the airplane traffic!
It is good to know that Hendricks County air space is used for more than the just the Indianapolis Airport. So next time you hear an unfamiliar racket high in the sky, look up!
Next time, it may even be reindeer!
