The Healthiest Housing Markets for 2009

8. Indianapolis, Ind.
2008 total building permits: 7,004
Builders are still pulling permits at a relatively healthy rate in Indianapolis, despite a virtually flat job market. Unlike other major markets that have become multifamily-oriented, single family still accounts for two-thirds of home building activity. Ultra-affordable housing accounts for some of the activity—the median price of a home here is only $117,900, making it one of the most affordable markets in the country. As a result, home prices have declined only 4.5 percent in the last year. At the top of the market in 2005, builders in Indianapolis took down 15,619 permits, so activity is down 55 percent, slightly better than the national average. Unfortunately, the relative health of the market wasn’t enough to keep Davis Homes, one of the area’s largest private builders, from going out of business last year.

klinger lake aereal photo
Here's an aerial photo of beautiful Klinger Lake, near Sturgis Michigan. Less than a 3 hour drive from Indy. It features spring fed crystal clear water on 850 acres, which is big enough that us old guys have a hard time skiing even half way around it.
