Hoosiers are very friendly and will help in any way possible if someone needs help,They are very polite and very friendly but just don't make a Hoosier angry they don't call us the fighting Hoosiers for no reason.If your a traitor Democrat your not welcome nothing in Indiana for commie traitors.
I'm from California and moved to Indy to start a family and own a house. Got the family started, but still working on the house. Neither would be possible in San Diego. Let's not forget about gas prices. I would spend about 3 hours a day driving. That equates to about a month and a half of my year driving... with gas over $5 gallon. All the taxes and idiotic laws have ruined the great state. The smart ones have moved away.
We're happy to have you here in Indiana! Glad to hear you've been able to save money living here, and buying a house here is a fantastic goal! Let me know if I can help in any way!
Nope, it's true. In fact, property taxes in all of Indiana are assessed the same way. Feel free to do your own research if you think I'm incorrect. Have a nice day!
@@geesamanhomes sweetheart I've lived in Indiana for more than 60 years. I've paid property taxes longer than you have been alive. I'm completely aware of which counties have the highest property taxes and Carmel is in the middle of an expensive county. Great schools and roads, high taxes too.
It doesn’t matter the value of the home, it’s still 1% of the assessed value of the home. Does Carmel have higher assessed property values compared to other Indiana cities? Clearly, yes. But the percentage of property taxes paid does not change. It’s 1%, just like the rest of the area.
I was born in Noblesville and some of my family still lives there. My Grandpa had a Barber shop there and my Dad was born and raised there who retired as Captain of the Noblesville Fire Department! I love the town and I watched it grow from when it was a town and now it is a city! My Dad could drive around and tell you everything about the history, he appeared on the local television station with the former mayor Rowland and he answered questions about the history of Noblesville. He also owned a plumbing company many years ago! I unfortunately live in Arizona and can’t wait to move back home.
The population of Indiana is almost the same as the Dallas or DFW, wow !We left Dallas because it was too crowded and way too hot. We are in Clarksville Indiana right now because my husband's family is nearby. I am wanting a small town with less crowds with normal shopping areas. Our rent in Irving/ Dallas was $1150 for a 2 bedroom {2020} but it went up to $1550 at the end of 2023 that is why we came back to Indiana. I like the colder weather but I am from Washington state where it is freezing all the time. I have had a hard time with the lack of sunshine this year. when we lived in Dallas the overnight lows were 77 to 82 degrees . we had to run our ac over night. My husband and I enjoy morning and evening walks in the summer months that are possible living in Indiana. we couldn't walk in Dallas because of the heat and high humidity.
Prof Evan McKenzie said in his seminal book, Privatopia (1964), "CIDS [HOAs] currently engage in many activities that would be prohibited if they were viewed by the courts as the equivalent of local governments." They are not subject to constitutional protections that non-HOA owners retain!
Great video with a lot of truth in it. I've lived in MA, WA, FL, NM, IL, IA, and IN. They all have good and bad qualities. Being a blue dot here in Trumpiana, I keep my mouth shut and realize my vote means nothing here, but the people don't talk politics and are 99% super friendly and salt of the earth. We're all Americans, after all. I love the peace and quiet of rural life, but not the constant maintenance costs of an older home. Thanks for sharing your excellent info.
I looked at home prices in Indiana and almost cried. I live in IL and let's just say this...Indiana real estate is so cheap it's almost too good to be true. Imagine prices twice as high and property taxes 4x as high and you have IL real estate. I'm moving to Indiana.
And plus Evansville has a bunch of amusement parks there fishing meat places pizza do you know Gary land is a pizza place that has roller coasters arcade games and I love it there Santa Claus, Indiana, which is called holiday world and they have so many roller coasters there and a new one called good gravy
Like all big cities, Indy has some areas that are nicer than others. Here is a link to a crime map that may help if you're wondering about a specific area. I also have another video on RU-vid about crime in the Indy metro area. Hope this helps! www.indy.gov/activity/incident-reports-and-crime-statistics
I'm a native Hoosier, IU grad and LA resident for 3 decades. Before the pandemic, I had designs to move to back to Bloomington but the unemployment rate there is over 7% and one-quarter of its residents live at or below the poverty level. If you're poor, it is better to live in CA than LA. More financial resources here and it's a pro-tenant state. In November, state-wide rent control will be on the ballot.
Your videos are extremely helpful in my decision making. Thank you. I’m from Evansville, Indiana, but I’ve been living in California for the last 15 years. I’m ready to go back and have family in Fishers and Indianapolis.
You are the reason I make these videos! I want to help people like you who don’t know this area make good decisions when buying a home here in Indiana. Thank you for watching, and feel free to email me at soldwithcameron@gmail.com if you want me to help with your home search here in Indiana!
I left sunny San Diego for obvious reasons and moved to a cold part of Arizona. Now I'm old and alone and considering moving outside of Evansville, only to be in reasonable distance to family in the Chicago metro, but I'm still trying to avoid the cold. My relatives refuse to move somewhere warm, but it's no fun spending holidays alone.
Even though Indy is experiencing housing price increases, by comparison with other large cities, it is still much more affordable compared to cities like Boston, San Francisco, or Chicago. All things being equal, the cost of living here is lower than many other places.
I’m from Illinois and I’m thinking of moving after college, or just finishing school at one of your fine colleges. Goodness gracious this state is brutal. Your videos are great. Thanks for all the information!!!!
Bored WPD officers love writing tickets and pulling cars over. And the Hamilton county court system will try your patience and check book. Horrible for young drivers.
Well, if anything it'll teach you not to speed in Westfield. I learned my lesson the same way in Carmel nearly 20 years ago; never go above the speed limit in Carmel.
I was in the army in the 80s. Did my training at fort Ben Harrison/ chanute Air Force Base. They had a real beautiful civil war museum in downtown Indianapolis. I wonder if it's still there?
To the best of my knowledge, it was relocated and is now a part of the Indiana War Memorial and Museum, just a few blocks north of Monument Circle. Thanks for watching, and more importantly, thank you for your service!

And in sports, you now have Caitlin Clark with the Fever!
All public schools have special needs programs, but not all of them are created equally. If you need something more than what traditional public schools can offer then I suggest this website to aid in your research: www.niche.com/k12/search/schools-with-special-ed-program/m/indianapolis-metro-area/
She's right and fair. Euphemizing some stuff. Glad you mentioned the politics. It's mild mannered here, though. Nobody's in your face, but if you ask, you're gonna hear things that make you wonder if it's still the 50's. Stuff people complain about: Worst-of-all-worlds weather; suburban complacency; aspiring-to-basic attitudes; cliquish, intolerant small towns; lack of advancement opportunity and low wages if you don't live in Indy; housing prices getting ridiculous; medical, artistic, and intellectual underdevelopment; boring, more boring, and cornfields; long drive to "civilization"; expanding "Two Americas" dynamic, some towns made up entirely of churches, bars, and Dollar Generals... Stuff people like: Generally decent people who go out of their way to help someone in need (and WILL let you in in traffic!); relatively low violent crime; prices still slightly below national average; never "too crazy"; active small-town sports culture; an Applebee's within driving distance of every town, Olive Garden for special occasions... Yeah, you could do worse, but you definitely could do better. You live a small life here. Most people move away after college and move back when they have kids. They're still bored and stifled here, but at least their kids don't get shot at on the daily (unless you're in Indy). Indiana is where you go to "settle down"--when your dreams have died.
Good morning, Seen from France where we are world champions with 60,000 roundabouts, reporting them as an inconvenience seems lunatic to me. It's so much more convenient than waiting at traffic lights, and it's so much less dangerous. You can run a fire, not a roundabout, otherwise you end up on the grass, not in another car. Otherwise the city seems quite nice compared to the usual horrors that we see in the USA. The marked seasons, the very green environment, the facilities for pedestrians and cyclists. It must be good to live there as they say in France. Greetings from the French Riviera as you call our Côte d'Azur.
Thank you for watching and your comments! As far as roundabouts go, in Europe they are probably safer than here in the USA. The problem here is there are some people that don’t know how to navigate roundabouts properly, and cause traffic slowdowns and accidents on a daily basis. But I assume that should get better the more people get used to them.
Clearly I forgot the word “contiguous” when I said that. And if we want to be technical, a "sunshine tax" is clearly not a real thing that people are taxed for. 😉
As a person who grew up in and spent the 1st 21 years of my life in Indiana and the last 35 years here in Florida, I've got one thing to say. Do NOT move to Florida!!! It positively S.U.C.K.S. and I would give ANYTHING to be able to move back. I would in a heartbeat!!!
@geesamanhomes your want it alphabetical or chronological?? EVERYTHING about Florida is WAY worse except the no state sales tax. WAY too many ppl, roads are ALWAYS under construction, ppl drive like idiots, rents and mortgages are out of control and we won't even get into the weather aspect of it.
And yet Livability just named Carmel the #1 small city in America again, for quality of life and numerous other criteria. I mention this to counter your unnecessary comments around our "boring" state. Sales tip: If selling, stick with features and benefits and omit the need to feel "balanced or objective". Zionsville village resident and I'm not sure you accurately assessed the age of homes.
I’m going through this process in Colorado. Meeting architect on property next week. Close on the lot after that. I am freaking out and going through information therapy, the more I learn the more calm I get. So even if I am super far… thanks so much for all of these videos. Wish me luck
@@geesamanhomes thanks for everything. I meet with an architect on property tomorrow. Close on our lot next week. The hardest part now is the waiting. Between design and plans and permits and Colorado weather.. we’re looking at 2 years till certificate of occupancy. Wish us patience and luck!
Best of luck!! Remember to be patient, as there will always be things that either go wrong or you decide you want changed when building a home (no matter if it's a production home vs. custom home). The key is addressing it as soon as you notice it, as depending on the issue if you wait too late it may cost a lot more money and time to fix it.
Financing for a townhome is typically limited to conventional loans as FHA loans require the buyers to make more repairs, so sellers usually request applicants with conventional loans.
