Indianapolis Housing Market EXPLODING!

With all of the warm weather, we can almost 'taste' Spring. This has been especially true of the real estate market with activity we haven't seen in years! I'll get to some great stats in a moment. Ash Wednesday was yesterday and 'Fat Tuesday' was the day before. For Catholics, that means Lent is here. I noticed quite a few 'good' Catholics with the ubiquitous crosses on their foreheads yesterday. Unlike the wind and the type of religion one practices, real estate seems to be very visible all of the time. It is nice to be able to report some good news.

Our Months Supply of Inventory is down to 7.6 months (down 12.8% from last year). Active listings are down 10.4%, which is great as we need to reduce our oversupply of housing inventory. Median sales price is up 4.7%. Closed sales are up 28%!! Pending sales are up 18.3% and new listings are down 8.8%, which is also good as we need to reduce inventory more. Distressed sales are <20% of the overall housing marketing for the first time in years. Bottom line-the housing market is markedly improving!

The Indy real estate market is heating up and the Spring Market has already started. We are seeing multiple showings/day on listings and, can you believe it, multiple offers as well!!! Inventory in down, buyers are up, sales price is up, and distressed sales are the lowest in years. Don't forget those historically low interest rates, too!!! This is a great time to buy or sell a house. Don't take my word for it, just Google real estate and you will find article after article extolling the virtues of this market, how it has hit bottom in many markets and is on its way back. No one can predict the future, but this sure is a good start!!!
