Carmel Indiana Realtor highlights Ryland Homes

Posted by searchcarmelhomes under For Buyers, For Sellers, General Information, New Builds

This is a guest post from Nathan Custer at Ryland Homes! I have worked with Nathan on a number of transactions and find him to be honest and easy to work with, and always has the best interest of my buyer in mind.

When you are shopping for a home often times things can start to run together. So often many guests comment to me that they are mind numb after spending the afternoon house hunting. For a refreshing break from the norm, drop in to a Ryland community and take note of what qualities our communities possess to make them truly unique.

With over 22 charming communities positioned in highly desirable areas throughout the Indianapolis area, chances are there is a community right where you are looking to move!

Ryland Homes is deeply committed to both buyers and the communities in which we build. Before a community is developed, so much care and consideration is given to all details such as proximity to schools, parks, crime rate, and convenient location to shopping, highways, and recreation. Additionally, each community must have a ˜WOW™ factor; something that lets you know you are in a meticulously planned Ryland community. Many times this is apparent the moment you drive in. Arden Townhomes in Carmel

One such gem is Arden at Cool Creek, a townhome community located in the heart of Carmel off of Smokey Row Road (136^th St) just west of Keystone Ave. This Carmel Real Estate community features 5 of Ryland™s timeless townhome floor plans. Ryland was the first builder to introduce three story townhomes to the Indianapolis market ten years ago. Since then, our plans have evolved based on customer feedback; they are now a direct reflection of how our buyers live in their homes. Ryland homes offer incredible interior design flexibility, timeless appeal, and tremendous value. Townhomes are no longer a rarity in Indianapolis. However, communities like Arden at Cool Creek are one of a kind. This community has it all!

Close proximity to top-notch Carmel schools: Carmel high school is across the street within walking distance. Carmel Elementary and Carmel Middle School is just a short drive away.
Connects to The Monon Trail via Cool Creek Trail. You are also directly networked into the Cool Creek Loop which meanders along Cool Creek and through Cool Creek Park.
Ideal Location: Walk to the neighborhood butcher at Joe™s Butcher Shop & Fish Market in the Carmel Arts and Design District. Salons, shopping at Clay Terrace, and both casual and fine dining are also all within a short distance.
Superb Quality: Finest construction materials and building practices: Hardiplank siding and brick construction. Rigorous inspections, both internal and third-party, as well as buyer inspections ensure your home exceeds your standards.
Energy Efficiency: with Ryland™s Houseworks program, your home will benefit from the latest advancements in energy efficiency with environmentally friendly materials such as Low-E windows, low-VOC paint, and energy start appliances. See how Ryland can save you money on utility bills and help you minimize your carbon footprint: http://www.ryland.com/find-your-new-home/indianapolis/houseworks.aspx .
One-Stop Shopping: Ryland Homes introduces a lot of convenience into the process of purchasing a home. Ryland offers many services designed to streamline the process, cut down on paper chasing, and take much of the workload off of our buyers and realtor friends. Over 80% of our homeowners finance through our in-house mortgage company, Ryland Mortgage. Our rates are extremely competitive, we pay closing costs, and offer value-added services such as rate capping which ensures your rate cannot exceed pre-determined limits during construction. Finally, after you give us your approval at our final buyer inspection, we hand you your keys at the closing table with Ryland Title. We even offer very competitive rates on homeowners insurance. It™s all under one roof!
All of this in a community priced from the $160™s!

All of the convenience that you expect with a well-placed townhome community is here in full. What you don™t expect is that Arden offers all of this in an environment that appears as if it was sculpted by the words of Henry David Thoreau. This community is nestled within maturely wooded surroundings that boast a natural rolling landscape carved out by Cool Creek.

This community has been open for just over 1.5 years, and has been Ryland™s best-selling townhome community. The desirable aspects which make Arden a home run in new construction may just make this a tremendously popular resale community as well. Just like many of Ryland™s meticulously planned communities; Arden at Cool Creek has it all!

Currently, the last sites that face the woods and Cool Creek are now available for purchase! All homes facing the woods will be complete before the Tax Credit deadline. With our best homesites now on the market and very special incentives, there is no better value in Carmel than Ryland Homes’ Arden at Cool Creek!

It is important you are partnering up with a builder who understands your needs as an individual buyer. Ryland offers many thoughtfully designed floorplans and available options allowing individuals to fully express themselves with amenities tailored to compliment individual needs. In addition, our meticulously planned communities nurture your investment and provide lasting value. It is our goal that your first home with Ryland is just the beginning of an enduring relationship.

Do you need a Realtor if you build New Construction

Posted by searchcarmelhomes under For Buyers, General Information, New Builds

Of the 836 homes for sale in Carmel Indiana today, 740 of them were built before 1/1/09 and 96 were built after 1/1/09. That is more than 10% in new construction! Over a 1/3 of the new builds are condo/townhouse built by either Ryland (Townhomes at Stanford) or Beazer (West Clay). Of the remaining 65 homes in Carmel for sale that are new, they are mostly Ryland, Pulte or Custom Builders with a few Centex, MI, Estridge, Shoopman. Happy Family who is building with Pulte

I wrote a similar post for the homes for sale in Fishers yesterday. In that post, I talk about why a buyer would want Realtor representation.

Some of those reasons include:

The price you pay for a new construction home will not increase if you use a Realtor ®; the builders pay us from their marketing dollars. We bring them a large percentage of their clients so they support us and want to have us involved.

I can provide comparables in the Carmel neighborhoods you are considering to determine resale and appreciation values. I can also tell you about different builders and their pros and cons; I’ve worked with nearly all of them.

I can provide you with a checklist of items that I have seen go “bump in the night” on a new construction. These items can be checked during your final walk through; for example do all the windows open and shut properly, are the doors flush when closed, is the tile laid correctly, do the outlets all work properly, etc.
