Once part of the barrier island town, Indian Rocks Beach, Indian Shores’ history began in 1949 when the south shore of the island broke off to become a town of its own. It carried the name Indian Rocks Beach South Shore Beach until 1973, when the town council voted to shorten the name to Indian Shores. With a population of less than 2,000 year round residents, Indian Shore offers a relaxed atmosphere, scenic shorelines and wonderful weather to anyone looking for a new home – or a home away from home.

As small as it is, Indian Shores is home to some of the best area restaurants with cuisine ranging from surf and turf specials to upscale Scandinavian and Italian restaurants. The town is a haven for adults, with children under 18 in less than 10% of the town’s households. The wide stretches of beach and proximity to nearby cities, though, offer an enormous range of fun activities for any resident or visitor.

Located on the southern shore of one of the Gulf Coast’s barrier islands, Indian Shores is just under three miles long, and has beaches facing either the Gulf Coast or the Intercoastal Waterway. The small town boasts more than twenty beach accesses, and has benefited from a recent beach nourishment project that added tons of fine white sand to the already beautiful beaches. Originally developed as a playground for the wealthy in the 1920s, Indian Shores remains a popular beach destination with beachfront cottages, condominiums, and second homes in abundance.

Real estate prices in Pinellas County where Indian Shores is located, enjoyed a recent spike that combined with historically low mortgage rates to spark new home development and speculative investors. In the past year, however, housing prices have stabilized and started to drop slightly, making this an ideal time to buy a home in Indian Shores. Projections by Wachovia Financial’s economic unit predict that housing prices will stabilize and begin to rise again at more normal rates, and that the strong economy and low unemployment rates will keep the area prosperous.

In short, with interest rates and housing prices poised to rise over the next several months to a year, there’s no better time to be buying a home – either as a primary residence or as a second home or vacation rental – in this beautiful, quiet community on the Florida Gulf Coast known as Indian Shores.

There is a huge rush for investment in real estate in India. The reason behind the huge demand and inflation in real estate price is that India has become a hub for investment for real estate investors throughout the world. In recent years, Indian economy has really boomed and the outside world has appreciated the growth the country has made in every sector. Real estate sector is also one of those important sectors which has seen growth by leaps and bounds.

It is difficult to determine the correct value of property because there is not a proper procedure that has been put in place in India to assess the value of properties. The price of a property usually depends on its location and the properties that are situated near popular market areas command higher prices as compared to the properties that are not situated near such places. Before purchasing a property in India, one should try to ensure that it is located in the vicinity of important facilities like schools, hospitals and markets, and is also endowed with the basic amenities of water, electricity and excellent roads around the property. Excellent accessibility with the railways, airports and the inter-state bus depots is also a very important condition that should be seen before investing in a residential property.

Before purchasing apartments or flats, you should also see that these properties are built by builders who are registered and have a good reputation. An investor who invests in a property in India can expect a huge amount of windfall gains if the property prices soar up due to reasons like construction of Metro near the property, inclusion of the property in a Special Economic zone or airport construction near the property. Sometimes, there can be an expected increase in the price of a property when a shopping complex is constructed near it. The prices of Real Estate are booming in India and the property is available for all kinds of residential investors, right from condomiums and one-bedroom lodgings to lavish 3 bedroom apartments in Gurgaon. There has been a tremendous change in the real estate scenario in India especially in the metropolitan cities with large-scale commercial construction companies coming into the construction business which are giving a very tough competition to the small-scale local construction agents. The government has also facilitated setting up of (SEZs) Special Economic Zones, IT parks and townships which has led to large scale urbanisation and availability of amazing real estate properties equipped with all the requisite modern facilities.
