Additionally, there has been an increase in home values throughout central Indiana due to an influx of affluent families who want to live near Indianapolis or Louisville but still maintain some degree of privacy and flexibility when it comes to their commute times.

Despite these positive factors, there are some potential risks associated with buying or investing in a home in Saint Joseph that should be considered before making any decisions about purchasing or investing property here:

-There could be a sudden decrease in demand for housing if something unforeseen happens (e.g., another city becomes more desirable) which would cause prices on existing homes to drop below what someone may be able afford;

-The market can change quickly and unexpectedly which could lead to homeowners finding themselves underwater on their mortgages if they did not factor this possibility into their calculations;

-Rising interest rates could make it more difficult for homeowners who have taken out mortgages with adjustable rates (ARMs) – especially if they were not aware that interest rates would rise after they took out their loan;

-Another potential risk relates to whether or not someone will be able sell their home at a price that covers all costs associated with owning it (e.g., mortgage payments, taxes/insurance/maintenance).
