The Martinsville real estate market saw several statistical improvements in 2012 compared to 2011, even if the extent of these improvements was smaller compared to those of other nearby towns and cities in the Central Indiana area. While most Central Indiana markets underwent a decrease in the number of homes for sale in 2012 compared to 2011, the city of Martinsville saw no change whatsoever.
