Indianapolis is revamping it's downtown appeal. It is now easier to find luxury living in the city with a posh, urban setting than once before thanks to new townhome construction downtown.

The De Soto offers sophisticated urban living in the heart of downtown Indianapolis. You can enjoy unique rooftop gardens, Italianate architecture and lush landscaping. These townhomes project a unique curb appeal and intersting architecture that pulls many types of buyers in. The De Soto is located in the historic Lockerbie neighborhood, which is worth driving through to see the special charm and beauty the city has to offer. Although there seems to be numerous new construction options to choose from, in my opinion, Kosene and Kosene's De Soto and Packard offers upscale amenities above other condos. There are over 18 different floor plans to choose from and ranging between 1,900-2,800 square feet. They offer quality construction, open concept interiors with high end finishes, upgraded gourmet kitchens, and luxurious baths. From the fresh, colorful look and contemporary space planning and deluxe style, these townhomes are worth looking at if you're a buyer wanting sophisticated urban living in a mid-west city.

For more information on these and other townhomes located in the heart of Indianapolis and the surrounding area, contact the Fast Sinclair team today. We'd be happy to help you select the best home with the most options and give you our expert advice along the way!

Hurray! Things look like they might be nosing up in the housing market. Showings seem to be up, and we have had more listings this month than the last 2 months. As for me, I'd love to see the national media get a handle on the negative spin they put on the housing market. Real estate is REGIONAL! Yes, Michigan, Florida and other states are really struggling. Indiana isn't the same market! In fact, I believe Indiana to be an "in the middle" state. We will never be at the top of the list for appreciation, crime, growth, gang wars or a housing boom. Neither will we be at the bottom. Characteristically, Indiana is in the middle. We don't often see the wide swings the east and west coast get. And, yes - theFlorida real estate market is hurting. They also came off 2004 through 2006 being banner years of appreciation. They saw mid-30 to high 40% appreciation. Now they are down some. Isn't that just a market correction? Indianapolis, on the other hand, is slow and steady. We do have a slump. But it's not in the tank! So, take the media hype about real estate disasters you hear of, and notice that they are NOT in Indiana. The old "take it with a grain of salt" addage is very applicable here.
