Wet and Wild in Woodland Springs

If you've noticed a LOT of extra traffic around 116th and Lakeshore Drive East this week it's because the Woodland Springs swim club has been hosting the Metro REC swim conference invitational that notes the end of the season between the participating neighborhoods.  Aside from the Woodland Springs team, swimmers from College Park, Knights of Columbus, North Willow Farms, Smokey Row, Village Farms, The Woodlands and Woods Run teams are all participating.  This is a once every decade hosting event so it won't be back anytime soon but has certainly added some excitement for the families who participate every summer.   It's also not a bad event to help burn off that snow cone, Baby Ruth, endless fountain Coke buzz many 11 year olds have about this time every year.  The view below was from across the lake and gives a nice shot of the tent city where the kids spend their 'down time' - which is probably a misnomer for children this age. 

East Carmel Housing Blog/Virtual Open House for 6.28 to 7.5

Wow!  How about that for a view every day?  Given the limited number of waterfront homes in east Carmel this is indeed a rare opportunity and our most recent East Of Keystone featured home.  This residence at 11122 Lakeshore Drive East is new on the market at $550,000 and is the prototype of what's been selling east of Keystone this Spring and early Summer with a character driven lot and updated interior. Other homes new coming on the market this week were in Delaware Trace, Valleybrook, Woodfield, Kingswood, Williamson Run, Foster Grove, Cool Creek North, Eden Estates, Worthington Estates, Cherry Creek Estates, Smokey Knoll, Cool Creek North, Plum Creek North, Foster Grove, Johnson Acres, Briar Creek, Briar Creek 2, Emerald Crest, Harrowgate and Eden Park.

Sold homes this week included two properties in Cherry Creek Estates, one each in Delaware Trace, Ashton, Williamson Run, Cool Creek North and Haverstick.  If you want the full MLS/BLC printouts of any of these homes please email us at eastofkeystone@gmail.com 

Overall market data as of 7/5 found 307 homes active for sale in the 46033.  July 5, 2011 found 255 homes either pended or closed sales compared to 269 homes one year ago for a difference of 5.3% fewer homes sold in '11, not a bad number given last year's government stimulus.  The average closed sale price in east Carmel in 2011 is $324,960 compared to $321,671 for a slight increase. 

Thanks for stopping by everyone and we hope you have a great weekend!

Now Playing.

Removing the winter funk off our neighborhood pools will be a team effort for many today as friends and neighbors gather to scrape, sweep, power wash and ask the universal question....'don't we have someone to do this?' If you head up Lakeshore Dr West this morning just north of 106th you'll see this in full force....
