The market in our area showed some impressive gains last month compared to the same month last year in several ways. Over 25% more homes sold in February 2010 than this same period last year. You have to keep in mind too that last month was one of the coldest and snowiest Februaries that we have had in a while, which usually helps to slow activity. The average sale price

This last month saw a continued strengthening of the market in central Indiana. Overall number of sales were down slightly from last year at this time, but the average price of those homes selling were up…with some areas showing dramatic increases.

When I see others I haven’t seen in a while and get into conversations, eventually they’ll ask me how the market is doing now. I suppose it comes with the territory of being a real estate broker.

The truth is, the market continues to show improvement

The market in Central Indiana has a couple interesting things happening to report this month, both of which are positive news for home owners. Inventory continues to decline vs the number of buyers. This means that the ratio of homes on the market per the number of buyers purchasing is becoming smaller, resulting in more competition for homes on the market.

I get a feel for what’s going on in the market because I can watch the numbers from a lot of different sources, but mainly I see it in the faces and hear comments from customers and other real estate professionals.
