October 28th, 2008 categories: Avon Real Estate, Brownsburg Real Estate, Danville Real Estate, Indianapolis Real Estate News, Plainfield Real Estate

If you live in Hendricks County or are thinking of buying a home in Hendricks County, the new 2008 Tax Bill Data is now available on the government site. A disclaimer appears which states the information is unofficial and the data is for infomational purposes only, but it appears to be fairly accurate.

If you’ve ever wondered what the plan is for the Ronald Reagan Expressway, you can also find the Master Plan on the Hendricks County Government site. I am personally excited about what the plans for the Expressway means to Hendricks County. Yes, it will mean growth, however, I also believe that growth will bring an interest in both residential and commercial real estate f0r the area, which ultimately will mean am increase in property value. Remember, that’s my 2 cents worth

Hendricks County Courthouse

December 17th, 2007 categories: Danville Real Estate, Indy Places

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.

Hendricks County Market Report

December 16th, 2007 categories: Avon Real Estate, Brownsburg Real Estate, Danville Real Estate, Plainfield Real Estate

       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.

SandHill Cranes in Danville

November 30th, 2007 categories: Danville Real Estate, Living in Indy

Sandhill Cranes

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 11/20/07 was 13,846 sandhills and 1 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!
