If you’re looking for the safest place in the nation to live, look no further than… Fishers Indiana! Fishers is the safest city in the U.S. with a population of more than 75,000, according to the CQ Press annual City Crime Rankings 2011-2012: Crime in Metropolitan America report. Combine this latest accolade with a No. 8 ranking on CNN Money’s 2010 list of Best Places to Live, and Fishers Indiana is looking a lot like utopia – or at least a really, really great place to live!

The City Crime Rankings report is based on 2010 crime statistics of 405 cities in categories such as murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, and motor vehicle theft. Fishers had the nation’s lowest violent crime rate for cities with a population between 75,000 and 99,999; no murders and only four aggravated assaults were reported in 2010. Joining Fishers in the top 5 safest cities are O’Fallon, Missouri; Mission Viejo, California; Ramapo, New York; and Newton, Massachussetts.

Fishers, Indiana isn’t exactly known as a walkable community. Or is it? According to www.walkscore.com, a site that measures the “walkability” of cities throughout the U.S., downtown Fishers scores a respectable 71 out of 100, or a Highly Walkable rating. Highly Walkable means most errands can be accomplished on foot. And when you think about it, that’s true! Downtown Fishers Indiana is a highly walkable community.

From neighborhoods near the Fishers Town Center, including Sunblest Farms, Charleston Crossing, and Fishers Pointe townhouses, you can walk to the library, post office, pharmacy, a bank, a bakery, several restaurants, beauty salons, and gift shops, and Fishers Elementary School. And with the addition in 2012 of an outdoor amphitheater and multipurpose trail north of the Town Center, downtown Fishers will become even more walkable!

Even Fishers neighborhoods further out from the Town Center score good walkability marks thanks to connecting pedestrian trails that border most main roads.

To learn the walkability rating of the neighborhood you live in – or dream of living in, someday – visit the walkscore.com site and enter your address. You’ll learn the Walk Score of your neighborhood, as well as which neighborhoods in your city, the state or even the nation have the best Walk Scores.

Typically, the winter months – and especially the holidays – aren’t considered prime time for selling Fishers Indiana homes. It’s cold, dreary, and both buyers and sellers have too much other stuff going on to worry about house hunting or showings.

But before you decide to put off listing your home in Fishers, or anywhere else in Hamilton County, consider this: 129 Fishers properties pended between Nov. 26, 2010 and Dec. 31, 2010. Those are properties on which offers were made and accepted between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Eve. And this year, in 2011, 12 properties pended during the week of Thanksgiving.

Here are some reasons the holidays can be the right time to sell a home in Fishers:

-Anyone out looking is probably a serious buyer. Because really, who would be out traipsing through homes in freezing cold temperatures, with a holiday to-do list sitting stagnant, just for fun?
-Your home is already clean and sparkly for the holidays. A deep cleaning and some cheerful (but not overdone) decorations will help prepare you for the holidays AND create a great first impression for potential buyers! More about holiday home staging!
-You’ll be beating the influx of homes sure to hit the market after Jan. 1. You aren’t the only one on the fence about whether or not to list your home during the holidays. With the new year will come a bunch of new listings, making it harder for your home to stand out.

The best time to sell a home in Fishers, Indiana is when you’re ready. Once you’ve made the decision, you can work with the rest – holidays and all!
