Greater Indy Metro Real Estate Market Improves Significantly in 2012

It’s easy to get lost in the short-term market fluctuations that occur from one month to the next. But in the world of statistics, it is the bigger picture that matter most. With this in mind, we look at the greater Indianapolis metro real estate market and the nine counties that comprise it, including Boone, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Johnson, Madison, Marion, Morgan and Shelby.

Looking at this year’s numbers, the one thing that stands out is that the market was significantly improved in 2012 compared to where it was in 2011. This can be seen in at least three very important indicators: closed sales, pending sales and listings.

With respect to home sales, it should be noted that month of December, 2012 marked to 20^th straight month for which the total number of homes sold during that month exceeded the previous year’s total for the same month. But there were several other improvements seen in 2012 compared to 2011. There were 23,292 fewer homes on the greater Indy market for all of 2012 compared to 2011.

Fishers November, 2012 Sales Up 62.5 Percent Versus 1 Year Ago

November is the time of year in Central Indiana where holiday distractions combined with cooler, fall temperatures begin to exert a noticeable effect on the real estate market, and this year it was no different. A total of 104 closings took place in November, or 25.7 percent fewer than the previous month’s total of 140. But what is most remarkable about the latest figure is the fact that compared to the 64 closings that took place in November of 2011 this represents a significant increase of 62.5 percent in total home sales. What’s more, an average of 123 closings took place each month during the months of September, October and November of this year, or 33.7 percent more, relative to this same 3-month period 1 year ago.

The Fishers real estate market saw an 18.2-percent decrease in the number of reported pending sales, from 110 in October to 90 in November. But while this marks the 7^th straight month that pending sales have fallen, like our previous stat, it represents an increase versus November of 2011, of 5.9-percent to be exact. Also up was the average number of pending sales reported each month, from September through November of this year, relative to this same quarter last year, or 110 versus 86 respectively.

Since hitting a record 12-month high of 690 in May, 2012, the total number of homes listed on the Fishers real estate market have fallen, most recently hitting a new, 15-month low of just 501 in November. Versus October of this year, this translates to a 6.9-percent decrease. And versus last November’s total of 576 this is an even greater 13-percent decrease in total listings, which is a positive development for the Fishers market in general. An average of 540 homes were on the market from September through November of this year, or 13.3 percent more, relative to the monthly average for this same quarter 1 year ago of 623 listings. Finally, of the 501 homes on the Fishers market in November, 109 were new listings, which represents a 22.7-percent decrease versus the previous month’s total of 141.

Fewer Homes on Danville Market in November, 2012

The Danville real estate market saw an 11.1-percent decrease in the number of homes sold, from 27 in October to 24 in November, 2012. This comes as no surprise, considering November is the time of when most people’s thoughts typically turn to the holidays, and plans to purchase a home are increasingly put on hold until after the start of the New Year. Nevertheless, compared to last November’s total of just 19 closings, this is a 26.3-percent increase in total sales. What’s more, from September through November of this year, there were on average 24 closings per month, or 33.3 percent more compared to this same quarter last year.

Since hitting a 12-month high of 152 in July of 2012, the total number of homes listed for sale fell for the 4^th consecutive month in November, most recently bottoming out at 111. This, by the way, marks a new 12-month low for this stat. Compared to the previous month’s total of 124 listings this is a 10.5-percent decrease in inventory—something that benefits the market in slower months to be sure. Compared to last November’s total of 113 listings this is a decrease of 1.8 percent. And from September through November of this year there were on average 123 homes for sale each month, which represents a 2.5-percent decrease relative to this same quarter last year.

Total pending sales was the weakest of our three main indicators. November’s total of just 12 was down almost 43 percent versus the previous month’s total of 21. The contrast was not as stark versus 1 year ago, as last November’s total of 14 pending sales off beats this by a total of just 2 pending sales. In yet another comparison, the average number of pending sales reported from September through November of this year was down 10.5 percent relative to this same quarter last year, or 17 versus 19 respectively.

Brownsburg Indiana Average Time on Market Improves Significantly in November, 2012

The Brownsburg real estate market suffered a fairly large drop in pending sales in November, 2012. Considering the time of year, and the typical holiday distractions that accompany it, this hardly comes as shocking news. Still the 32 pending transactions reported in November represent a 43.9-percent drop versus the previous month’s total of 57. Compared to last November’s total of 37 this is off by just 13.5 percent. The lone, statistical bright spot came in the form of a 16.7-percent increase in the average number of pending sales reported each month, from September through November of this year, relative to this same quarter last year.

While total pending sales is a key predictor of the near-term market performance, it is not the only measure of market health. Take the 49 closings that took place in November: Versus the previous month’s total of 50 this is a decrease of just 2 percent. But the good news is that this is actually a 36.1-percent increase versus last November’s total of 36 closings. And, from September through November of this year, 46 closings were recorded each month on average, or 21.1 percent more versus this same quarter 1 year ago.

Another positive development concerned the total number of homes on the market. November’s total of 240 listings represents a 3.6-perent decrease versus the previous month’s total of 249, and a 7-percent decrease versus last November’s total of 258 listings. What’s more, November’s total marks a new 6-month low in listings. Finally, from September through November of this year there were on average 259 homes on the market, or 5.1 percent fewer, compared to this same 3-month period 1 year ago.

While a 30.6-percent decrease in pending sales versus the previous month’s total of 147 isn’t great news per se, compared to last November’s total of 95 it is a decent, 7.4-percent increase. The average number of pending sales reported from September through November of this year, however, was down by an average of just 2 pending sales per month relative to this same quarter 1 year ago.

The3 news was not nearly as good as it concerned sales. November’s total of 111 represents a 33.5-percent decrease versus the previous month’s total of 167. Even compared to last November’s total of 123 it is a distinct albeit less pronounced decrease of 9.8-percent. If there is a positive spin to be found, then it lies in the fact that an average of 140 closings took place each month, from September through November of this year, or 4.5 percent more, compared to this same quarter last year.

IN a welcomed turn of events, the total number of homes listed on the Washington Township market fell to 815 in November, down 4.3 percent versus the previous month’s total of 852. In fact, November goes on record as the 4^th straight month that total inventory shrank relative to the previous month. Versus last November’s total 1,011 listings this is a far greater, 19.4-percent decrease. There were 20.8 percent fewer listings on the market during the months of September, October and November of this year, compared to this same 3-month period 1 year ago, or 847 versus 1,069 respectively.

Warren Township Inventory Shrinks Nearly 6 Percent in November, 2012

The Warren Township real estate market was not impressive in comparison to the previous month. Indeed, the typical slow-down that accompanies the fall season was felt in at least 2 key areas: Closed and pending sales. But as we will show, the market was actually quite improved versus this same time last year. Take total sales as an example: The most recent total of 95 closings represents a 12.8-percent decrease versus the previous month’s total of 116. But compared to last November’s total of just 62 this is a much greater improvement of 53.2 percent. Also, an average of 104 closings were finalized during the months of September, October and November of this year, or 33.3 percent more, compared to this same quarter in 2011, when the average was just 78 closings per month.

Total pending sales fell nearly 21 percent, from 116 in October to just 92 in November. But compared to last November’s total of 88 this is actually a 4.5-percent improvement—not huge, but an improvement nonetheless. In another long-term analysis, the average number of pending sales reported from September through November of this year was up a hefty 38.2 percent compared to this same quarter 1 year ago.

In the current market climate, fewer listings is a good thing; which is why the most recent 5.9-percent decrease in total listings is a welcomed development to be sure. Further still, November’s total of 611 listings represents an 11.2-percent reduction in total inventory versus this same time last year. Also, from September through November of this year, there were 644 homes for sale per month, or 8.9 percent fewer, compared to this same quarter in 2011. Finally, 127 of the 611 homes on the market in November were new listings. This is down 22.6 percent versus the previous month’s total of 164, and down 2.3 percent versus last November’s total of 130. On average, a total of 147 new listings have been added to the market each month over the past year.

Pike Township Listings Fall 9.6 Percent in November, 2012

The Pike Township real estate market saw improvements in at least 2 key stats in the month of November, 2012, not the least of which was total sales. Sure, November’s total of 79 closings represents an 8.1-percent decrease versus the previous month’s total of 86. But compared to last November’s total of just 66 closings this is a significant 19.7-percent improvement. Also, the average number of closings each month, from September through November of this year, was up 17.4 percent relative to this same period last year, or 71 versus 69 respectively.

Another statistical improvement came in the form of a 9.6-percent decrease in the number of homes listed for sale, from 521 in October to 471 in November. This is a healthy development from a supply-demand standpoint. But even better is the fact that compared to November of 2011 this is a 16.5-percent reduction in total inventory. And of the 471 homes for sale in November, 89 were new listings. While this is 14.4 percent below the previous month’s total of 104 new listings, it is 6 percent above the November, 2011 total. Versus the 12-month average 115, it is down 22.6 percent. Finally, from September through November of this year, there were an average of 515 homes on the Pike Township market each month, or nearly 15 percent fewer, compared to this same quarter a year ago. One final stat to note concerning total listings: November marks the 5^th consecutive month that listings have fallen relative to the preceding month.

One that showed very little improvement concerned pending sales. The most recent total of 60 represents a 24.1-percent decrease versus the previous month’s total of 79. Even compared to last November it is a 3.2-percent decrease; although it should be noted that this equates to a difference of just 2 pending sales. On the bright side, from September through November of this year there was on average 1 more pending sale each month versus this same period last year, or 70 versus 69 respectively.

Perry Township Home Sales up 8.4 Percent in November, 2012

The Perry Township real estate market took two steps forward and one step back, at least insofar as 3 key indicators were concerned. Sales, for example, rose 8.4 percent as a total of 90 closings took place in November compared to 83 the previous month. But compared to the 81 closings that took place in November of 2011 this is a much better 11.1-percent improvement in sales. And, from September through November of this year, an average of 90 closings took place, 7.1 percent more, compared to this same quarter last year, when an average of just 84 closings took place.

The news was not great when it came to pending sales. The latest figures showed a 46.2-percent drop in pending sales, from 104 in October to just 56 in November. Of course, it is “that time of year” when the Central Indiana real estate market begins to slow, but 46.2 percent is quite a drop. Versus November of 2011, a less-pronounced, drop of 17.6 percent was observed. Comparing the average number of reported pending transactions during the months of September, October and November of this year to this same quarter 1 year ago, we see a decrease of 2.4 percent, or 80 versus 82 pending sales respectively.

November’s total of 488 homes for sale represents a 2.8-percent drop in total inventory relative to the previous month’s total of 502. But compared to last November’s total of 568 this is an even greater decrease of 14.1 percent. In yet another comparison, the most recent quarter from September through November of this year saw an average of 501 homes listed for sale each month, or 14.5 percent fewer, relative to this same 3-month period in 2011. What’s more, since hitting a 12-month record high of 577 in June, 2012, the total number of homes on the Perry Township market has fallen in each of the ensuing months by no less than 1.9 percent from one month to the next. The most recent total of 488 listings is at 84.5 percent the aforementioned June, 2012 peak.

Franklin Township Sales Rise 3.7 Percent in November, 2012

The Franklin Township real estate market saw a 3.7-percent increase in closed sales in November, 2012. But not only was the most recent total of 84 closings up versus the previous month’s total 81, compared to last November’s total of 60 this is a significant, 40-percent increase on the year. And, from September through November of this year, there were on average 79 closings per each month, or nearly 20 percent more, compared to this same period last year.

The news concerning pending sales was not nearly as rosy. That’s because the 55 reported pending sales in November were down 41.5 percent compared to the previous month’s total of 94, and down 8.3 percent versus last November’s total of 60. However, the average number of reported pending transactions, from September through November of this year, climbed nearly 17 percent relative to this same quarter 1 year ago, or 76 versus 65 respectively.

One healthy development for the market was a 5.4-percent decrease in the number of homes for sale. But not only is November’s total of 389 listings down versus the previous month’s total of 411, it is down 9.1 percent versus this same time 12 months ago. Further still, an average of 427 homes were on the market during the months of September through November of this year, or 8.2 percent fewer, compared to this same month 1 year ago.

Decatur Township Pending Sales Rise 15.6 Percent in November, 2012

The Decatur Township real estate, while improved in some key areas, was disappointing in others. The number of pending sales reported in November, 2012, for example, rose 15.6 percent, from 32 in October to 37 in November. But compared to last November this is actually a 2.6-percent decrease in pending sales. But this equates to a difference if just 1 pending sale. What’s more, the average number of pending sales reported from September through November of this year was off by just 1 compared to this same quarter in 2011. So all in all, it was not an especially month for pending sales.

There wasn’t a lot of good news to report insofar as closed sales were concerned. The most recent total of 33 closings represents a 32.7-percent decrease versus the previous month’s total of 49. Even compared to last November this is an 8.3-percent decrease overall. The one statistical ray of light—if it could be called that—came from the fact that the average number of closings that took place during September, October and November of this year was up 17.1 percent compared to this same 3-month period 1 year ago.

In the each of the months following August of 2012, the total number of homes for sale in Decatur Township have fallen no less than 7.7 percent relative to the previous month. Most recently, total listings fell 114.4 percent, from 167 in October to just 148 in November. But what is especially noteworthy is the fact that, compared to last November’s total of 212 listings, this is a huge decrease of 30.2 percent. Also, from September through November of this year there were, on average, just 165 homes for sale each month, or 26.7 percent fewer, compared to this same quarter last year.
