Market Report through October 2008 for Indianapolis Indiana

Comparing different areas in the Indianapolis real estate market demonstrates a decline in sales from 2008 as compared to 2007. We have shown this in an earlier post for the Fishers Real Estate market. This article is for homes between $100,000 and $500,000 to exclude some outlier areas that are either bank owned or luxury homes on the water. It is for Lawrence Township which is just south of the Fishers real estate market; but within Marion County.

We are seeing fewer buyers in the market which means you have to be on top of your selling game. One of my favorite shows to watch on HGTV is Design to Sell and they have great tips on how to get your home ready to sell. Some others that they mentioned not on this particular list that cost nothing are to

*Declutter
*Deep Clean (that includes ceiling fans, behind furniture, and especially base boards)
*Frame your fireplace as the focal part of the room

In a market with stats like those shown above, pricing is important. It demands a listing price that is in line with a selling price. You should be able to trust your Lawrence Township or Fishers real estate agent to handle tight negotiations if a low offer comes in on your home.

If you are a buyer, get out there and buy! Homes in the Lawrence or Fishers Real Estate market are going to be at their best condition and their best price. The $7,500 first time buyer incentive is still available and we hold First Time Buyer classes every month to help you understand the process of buying, inspecting, and lending.

Your Lawrence Township or Fishers Real Estate Team stand ready to help you understand how to sell your home or to help you buy your new home.
