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.

Also, it should be noted that the F. C. Tucker Company, with

Understanding where you have been is a good way of helping to determine where you are going. The real estate activity for the month of September shows continued gains in the number of sales as well as a decrease in the number of homes on the market. Both of these seem to point toward confirmation that the market is strengthening and also is becoming a more balanced market for Sellers and

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.

When one looks for news about the real estate market these days, you usually have to filter out all the noise to find the real truth. Personally I’ve grown very tired of hearing half-truths and sensationalistic story lines.

For quite a while now, the market has been tipped in the Buyers favor generally. When it hit bottom, interest rates were at historical lows and relative prices for homes had never been so affordable. But the market has been shifting…imperceptibly, quietly, shifting as it always does. It’s funny but the only way most change is noticed is in hindsight…after the fact…after it’s too late.
