Indianapolis real estate values have been ‘Artificially’ depressed this past 18 months.  A side effect of being relegated as a secondary market for media attention, our Indianapolis market is been unduly influenced by the national media and its over zealous attention to the extreme negative news from coast to coast.

New numbers are out showing that the economy in the Indianapolis Market is at its best ever.  Currently employing more people than it ever has.  The following is a quote from the Indianapolis Star Newspaper citing employment numbers.

In metro Indianapolis, 47,856 people were on the jobless rolls in October, 14,000 more than a year earlier. At the same time, Indianapolis has added more jobs than it has lost, and in October it reached record employment levels — 929,900 jobs were filled.

This was the most jobs recorded by the labor bureau in the nine-county metro area in any month in any year. It was 3,000 more than in September and surpassed the 1990s’ boom peak by 60,000 jobs.

Combining these two important facts, artificially depressed home pricing and highest employment ever and you have a formula for guaranteed success.

Below is a breaking story, just 47 minutes old, that announces Indiana’s biggest economic development this year. The Anson development is in Indy’s NW corner on highway I-65. My partner, Craig Bartels, saw opportunity here when he bought his first family home just a few blocks away. Craig’s home has doubled in value in only eight years. The announcement below will continue the trend of residential growth and appreciation for this part of Indianapolis.

Original Link

Boone County has won an intense, three-way competition to land Indiana’s biggest economic development project in more than a year: a massive, mail-order pharmacy that will employ 1,300 people.

Medco Health Solutions of Franklin Lakes, N.J., is expected to announce Tuesday that it has chosen the AllPoints industrial project at Anson, west of Zionsville, as the site for its huge distribution center, said Boone County Commissioner Huck Lewis.

The facility will be 318,000 square feet, roughly the size of six football fields, the company has said.

Medco picked the site because of its access to Northside workers, as well as its proximity to I-65, the airport and Downtown Indianapolis, said another person familiar with the deal.

Medco, one of the nation’s largest pharmacy distribution companies, said last month that it would build the facility somewhere in Central Indiana and had narrowed its choices to Boone, Hendricks and Johnson counties. The company has two other large distribution centers, in New Jersey and Nevada. The Boone County site will become the company’s largest.

A Medco spokeswoman declined to comment today. But Lewis confirmed that Medco was coming to Anson, a 1,700-acre mixed-use development in Whitestown, a few miles northwest of the intersection of I-65 and Ind. 334. The Anson development also includes offices, retail and residential areas.

Medco said last month that it would invest $150 million in the new facility, which will employ 1,300 people by 2012, with an average wage of $53,000.

That could make it Boone County’s largest employer, Lewis said. “We’re real glad to see them coming,” he said. “This is going to have a major impact on the county, Anson and our tax base.”

Boone has been relatively slow to develop and has long had a slow-growth reputation with residential and commercial developers and builders.

Boone County Republican Chairman Tom Easterday, when informed of the announcement, said: “That’s fantastic. It clearly fits with the high-tech and high-paying jobs that we want for Boone County.”

Easterday, who is a vice president of Subaru in West Lafayette and played no direct role in luring Medco, said he had been following and waiting for the Medco decision when he learned that Boone County was a finalist.

“All three counties appeared to have some advantages,” he said. “We believe Boone offers a perfect location and the corporate environment that Anson provides. The location is 20 minutes to the airport and to Downtown.”

Some local residents have complained that Anson has not developed as quickly as expected, but Lewis said that Medco should help the development gain momentum.
“It’s just that the people here wanted an appropriate type of growth that creates quality jobs that benefit the county as a whole and can help to raise the standard of living,” he said.

Duke Realty, which is developing the Anson site, declined to confirm the news. The company issued a media advisory shortly before 5 p.m. Monday announcing a news conference Tuesday morning with “representatives from a new company locating to Indiana.”

Also scheduled to attend are Lt. Gov. Becky Skillman and representatives from Duke, Browning Investments and the Boone County Economic Development Corp.
Medco said last month that it was attracted to Central Indiana primarily because of the region’s work force. The state has two pharmacy schools, at Butler and Purdue universities, that could help the company staff the center in the midst of a national pharmacist shortage.

About 120 positions will be pharmacists, with the rest consisting of pharmacy technicians, engineers, information technology specialists and managers.

Last year, Medco dispensed 553 million prescriptions. Its mail-order service rang up sales of $16 billion last year.

I just had to share with you some great news.  We just spent three days in Chicago at the Donald Trump / Learning Annex Real Estate Expo and had a blast.  We learned a lot too.  The biggest item of interest for you is the unquenchable thirst for property in Indianapolis that became a common theme for many people that we spoke to.  This confirms the fact that you have made a good choice in location for your property investment.

Craig and I got to meet Donald Trump, Tony Robbins & Joe Vitale(The Secret).  Additionally, Alan Greenspan made an appearance as well as George Foreman, Dr. Albert Lowry(The godfather of real estate investing) and Than Merrill from A&E’s Flip This House.  A few others you may have heard of, Robert Shemin, David Lindahl & James Smith.  There were over 30 speakers total.

The overall appreciation for the Indianapolis market really caught us by surprise.  I know you are smart enough to already have purchased your property in Indy–way ahead of the curve I believe.  From the actions and reactions I saw this past weekend Indianapolis will continue to be a great place to buy with property appreciation almost guaranteed.

From my point of view I currently recommend continued buying in the Indianapolis market for the next six months–the next three are optimum.  I say three months because this will allow you to close and take possession of your home at the beginning of spring, which is the best time of the year to market properties around here.  When I say best I mean that rental amounts are the highest and vacancy rates are the shortest.

What gives me my current optimism?  What is the impetus of my recommendation?  If you ever invest in the stock market one of the rules of profit is to follow the smart money.  In this weekend alone I personally met three groups that plan to invest $50 Million to $200 Million in the Indianpolis area.  What does this mean for you?  You are a smart investor, you already know what this means–this means that additional purchases will secure the growth and appreciations of your properties.  The more you own in Indianapolis, the more your investment will grow.

There has been a lot of talk lately about the Go Zone investment areas in North America.  Sounds great on the surface–the first two years will provide great benefits, but tell me this.  What happens ‘If’ these areas are over built?  Any market frenzy brings about opportunity, but for security you need continuity.  Indianapolis has continuity–do the go zone areas have stability?  Remember the gold rush in the 1800′s?(If you do personally, I’ll buy you lunch.)  The gold rush sounded great.  It sounded like opportunity for the masses but the reality of it was that only 10% of these speculators actually made a good profit.  Many died of hunger or were taken advantage of by opportunists who exploited the situation.  Don’t let this GoZone frenzy cause you to make poor decisions and cost you a fortune.

Alan Greenspan spoke of irrational exhuberance in the stock market in the late 1990′s.  On CNN last week he spoke of this phenomenon in the real estate market.  Just because everyone else is doing it, doesn’t make it right–or safe–or secure–or legal, etc.  I firmly believe that Indianapolis is ‘THE’ best place in America to invest.  Or course I’m biased, I live her and have for 40 years.  But the reality of my geographic location has actually caused me to ‘Not see the forest for the trees.’  I didn’t realize how good an investment Indianapolis truly is until about the fifth or sixth national article that told how great a place Indianpolis is to invest.  CnnMoney, Business 2.0, USA Today, Moody’s Investor Service, etc., etc., etc.  Just like the 1970′s song, “I can see clearly now, the rain is gone”, that is how I feel right now and the Chicago Real Estate Expo had 50,000 attendees who heard and read the same articles and predictions.

Bottom line–Congratulations on being at the forefront of those who saw Indianapolis as the best place to invest.  I’ll leave you now with a quote from one of my all time favorite investors, Warren Buffet. “Put all your eggs in one basket–just watch that basket real close.”
