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. It is also down 33.1 percent versus the 12-month average of 163.

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.

November, 2012 Avon Home Sales Rise 161.1 Percent Versus 1 Year Ago

The Avon real estate market showed significant improvement in several key stats in the month of November, 2012. While total sales were off by 28.6 percent versus the previous month’s total of 63, compared to November of 2011, the most recent total of 45 closings represents a 32.4-percent improvement. Also, from September through November of this year a monthly average of 51 closings took place, up 34.2 percent versus this same 3-month period 1 year ago.

Total pending sales were down versus the previous month, although barely. In fact, this marked the 3^rd straight month that this stat had fallen. And since hitting a 12-month high of 362 listings in August of this year, listings are down 17.1 percent.  November’s total of 47 reported pending sales represents a decrease of just 2.1 percent. But considering there were just 18 pending sales during the month of November, 2011, this translates into a very shocking 161.1-percent increase! Not only this, but the average number of pending sales reported during the months of September, October and November of this year represents a robust 44.1-percent increase compared to this same 3-month period 1 year ago.

Our third key stat, that of total listings, also showed improvement versus both the previous month and last year. November’s total of 300 homes for sale is 6.2 percent below the previous month’s total of 320. Compared to last November’s total of 326 it is an 8-percent decrease in total listings. From September through November of this year there were, on average, 320 homes on the market each month, or 5.6 percent more, relative to this same quarter 1 year ago, when there were an average of 339 homes on the market. Of the 300 homes on the market in November, 60 were new listings. This is down 15.5 percent versus the previous month’s total of 71, although it is up nearly 58 percent versus last November’s total of just 38. The rolling 12-month average number of listings each month is 71.

Wayne Township Listings Fall 4.3 Percent in November, 2012

As all of Central Indiana marched ever closer to winter, it was no surprise that the Wayne Township real estate market continued a trend toward decreased market activity in November, 2012. In fact, November marked the 4^th straight month that the total number of homes on the market fell by at least 4 percent relative to the previous month. The most recent total of 536 listings represents a decrease of 4.3 percent compared to the previous month’s total of 560 listings. But compared to November of 2011, this is actually a much greater 15.6-percent decrease in inventory. As well, from September through November of this year there were, on average, 561 homes on the market each month, or 14.6 percent fewer, relative to this same quarter in 2011.

While total sales were on the decline by 20.6 percent compared to the previous month, the most recent total of 77 closings matches exactly last year’s total during this same month. In yet another long-term view, the average number of closings each month, from September through November of this year, was up 8.1 percent versus this same quarter 1 year ago.

The latest figures for pending sales weren’t pretty at first glance. November’s total of 79 pending transactions represents a 19.4-percent drop versus the previous month’s total of 98. But compared to November of 2011, this is actually a very respectable increase of nearly 13 percent. Our most impressive stat comes in the form of a 22.1-percent increase in the average number of pending sales that were reported each month, from September through November of this year compared to this same quarter 1 year ago.

Washington Township Real Estate Market Sees Some Improvement in November, 2012

The Washington Township real estate market was improved in at least 2 key areas: Total listings and total pending sales. 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.

Carmel Listings Fall 10.8 Percent in November, 2012

The Carmel real estate market didn't fare so well in November, 2012. Not that there weren't some improvements, but overall, the market was down not only versus the previous month, but last year as well. Total sales, for example, fell 10.7 percent, from 112 closings in October to 109 in November. But compared to last November’s total of 118 this is a 7.6-percent decrease in sales. The one bright spot: An average of 123 closings took place each month, from September through November of this year, relative to this same period last year, which translates to a 16-percent improvement.

The latest stats for pending sales were no better; in fact, they were worse. The most recent total of 75 pending transactions represents a significant 35.3-percent decrease versus the previous month’s total of 116. Compared to last November’s total of 95 this is a 21.1-percent decrease in pending sales. At least the average number of reported pending sales was up 7 percent, to 107, compared to this same quarter in 2011.

Unlike closed and pending sales, the latest figures for total listings were a ray of light in an otherwise gloomy November real estate market. There were 546 homes for sale in November, which represents a 10.8-percent decrease versus the previous month’s total of 612. Compared to last November’s total of 697 listings this is a decrease of nearly 22 percent—a trend that hopefully continues. Also, from September through November of this year, 610 homes were listed for sale each month, 19.3 percent fewer, versus this same quarter 1 year ago. And of the 546 homes listed for sale in November, 101 came in the form of new listings. This is down 21.1 percent versus the previous month’s total of 128, and down 14.4 percent versus last November’s total of 118. Over the past year, 168 listings have been added to the Carmel market each month on average.

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.

November, 2012 Center Township Sales Up 31.6 Percent Versus Last Year

With the exception of September, the total number of homes for sale in Center Township has fallen in each of the months following June, 2012. Most recently, total listings fell 4.5 percent, from 951 in October to 908 in November. But not only were listings down on the month; compared to last November’s total of 1,111 this is a decrease of 18.3 percent. And, from September through November of this year there were, on average, 16 percent fewer homes on the market relative to this same quarter 1 year ago. And of the 908 homes listed for sale in November, 142 were new listings. This is down 14.5 percent versus the previous month’s total of 166 and down 8.4 percent versus last November’s total of 155. On average, a total of 179 homes have been placed on the Center Township real estate market each month over the past 12 months.

While it is true the most recent total of just 100 closings that took place in November represents a decrease of nearly 14 percent compared to the previous month’s total of 116. However, compared to last November, this is actually a hefty, 31.6-percent increase in sales activity; not to mention the fact that from September through November of this year there were, on average, 21.6 percent more closings finalized each month compared to this same time 1 year ago, when the month average was just 88 closings.

November’s total of 86 pending sales goes down as a 23.2-percent decrease versus the previous month’s total of 122. Versus last November’s total of 90, it is a far more modest decrease of just 4.4 percent. And, from September through November of this year, there were 13.2 percent fewer pending transactions reported on average, compared to this same 3-month period 1 year ago.

Lawrence Township Real Estate Market Report for November, 2012

Lawrence Township saw diminished market activity in the month of November, 2012—no big surprised considering the time of year. What was surprising, though, was how much the market had improved compared to where it was this same time last year. Total sales, for example, fell 11.6 percent from the previous month’s total of 129 closings. But compared to last year, the 114 closings that took place in November represents a 25.3-percent increase in total sales—quite an improvement by any measure. What’s more, the average number of closings logged each month, from September through November of this year, rose 33.7 percent, from 95 closings during this same quarter 1 year ago, to 127 during the most recent quarter.

But total closings wasn’t the only stat to improve. While the most recent total of 96 pending sales, while down 21.3 percent versus the previous month’s total of 122, nevertheless represents a modest 5.5-percent increase compared to last November’s total of 91. Even the average number of pending sales reported each month, during the months of September, October and November of this year rose 9.5 percent compared to this same 3-month period 1 year ago.

The total number of homes for sale fell 8.9 percent versus the previous month’s total of 763. But versus this same month 1 year ago, it was a more pronounced 13.1-percent decrease in listings, from 800 to just 695. And of the 695 homes on the market, 123 were new listings altogether. This is 27.2 percent below the previous month’s total of 169, and 10.2 percent below last November’s total of 137. The 12-month average number of listings placed on the market each month is 178. Finally, from September through November of this year there were, on average, 756 homes on the market, or 12 percent fewer, compared to this same quarter 1 year ago.

Zionsville Inventory Continues to Shrink in October, 2012

Positive Outlook for Westfield Real Estate Market in October, 2012

Improvements in several key stats contributed to an overall positive outlook for the Westfield real estate market in October, 2012, even though judging from the latest figures for total sales it was anything but obvious. October’s total of just 37 sales, for example, represents a decrease of 42.2 percent—hardly cause for celebration. Compared to last October’s total of 31, however, it is a nice 19.4-percent increase in total sales. What’s more from August through October of this year there were, on average, 52 closings each month, or 40.5 percent more, compared to this same quarter last year.

Total pending sales were up by any measure. The most recent total of 43, for example, represents an increase over the previous month of nearly 23 percent. Compared to last October’s total of 31 it is an even greater 38.7-percent increase. And, from August through October of this year, there were on average 45 pending sales each month, or 36.4 percent more, relative to this same quarter 1 year ago.

Another very positive development for the Westfield market concerned the number of homes on the market. The most recent total of 193 listings fell 6.3 percent versus the September total of 206. But most striking is the fact that, compared to last October’s total of 232 listings, this is a much greater decrease of 16.8 percent. Also, there were on average 16.7 percent fewer homes on the market each month, from August through October of this year relative to this same period 1 year ago. Finally, October marked the 4^th consecutive month that the total number of homes on the market fell by at least 4 percent.

Mixed News for Plainfield Real Estate Market in October, 2012

The news was somewhat mixed for the Plainfield real estate market in October, 2012. That’s because improvements seen in total sales were offset by losses in the pending sales department. Starting with total sales, the latest figure of 33 closings represents a 22.2-percent increase versus the previous month’s total of 27. And compared to last October’s total of 31 it is a 6.5-percent improvement. However, an average of 30 closings took place per month, from August through October of this year, compared to 1 year ago, when the average was 35 closings each month during this same period. This translates to a 14.3-percent decrease.

October’s total of 22 pending sales was off by 8.3 percent versus the previous month’s total of 24, but down a much more disappointing 24.1 percent compared to 1 year ago. From August through October of this year there were on average 27 pending sales each month, or nearly 13 percent fewer, compared to a monthly average of 31 during this same quarter 1 year ago.

There were 178 homes on the Plainfield market in October, or 1.7 percent fewer, relative to the previous month.

October, 2012 Noblesville Market Shows Improvement Versus Last Year

The Noblesville real estate market made significant progress in October, 2012, despite the fact that sales fell 13 percent versus the previous month. That’s because the 87 closings that took place, compared to where the market was during October of 2011, represent a sizable increase of nearly 32 percent. What’s more, an average 103 closings took place each month, or 21.2 percent more, from August through October of this year, compared to this same quarter last year.

The latest figures for pending sales bode well for the near-term future of the Noblesville market. October’s total of 90 represents a 7.1-percent gain over the previous month’s total of 84.

Also, from August through October of this year there were, on average, 90 pending sales per month, or 25 percent more, compared to this same 3-month period last year.

Less competition in a buyer’s market is a good thing for anyone trying to sell a home. It wasn't huge, but the 539 homes that were listed in October represent a 3.6-percent decrease in total inventory. Compared last October’s total of 665 homes for sale, however, it is an 18.9-percent decrease in total listings.

Mooresville Real Estate Market Shows Healthy Signs in October, 2012

The Mooresville real estate market brought showed some very healthy signs in October, 2012. Normally, October is the time of year when colder temperatures bring with them an overall slowing of activity. But not this time. Versus the previous month, sales climbed 33.3 percent, reaching a total of 28 when all was said and done. But even more encouraging is the fact that this represents a 40-percent improvement versus this same time 1 year ago. Moreover, from August through October of this year, on average, a total of 26 closings took place each month, or 30 percent more, compared to this same quarter 1 year ago.

Total pending sales also breathed new life into the Mooresville market as the most recent total of 25 pending transactions rose 19 percent over the previous month. But most impressive is the fact that this represents a huge 66.7-percent increase over this same month in 2011. In yet another comparison, there were 24 pending sales logged each month, on average, during the months of August, September and October of this year, 33.3 percent more, compared to this same quarter last year.

And, from August through October of this year, there were, on average, 146 homes on the market each month, or 14.1 percent fewer, compared to this same 3-month period 1 year ago.

Martinsville Home Sales Rise 48 Percent in October, 2012

The Martinsville real estate market made significant strides in October, 2012. What was especially surprising about the latest improvements is that they come at a time of year that is normally associated with a seasonally-induced slow-down in market activity. Starting with sales, a total of 37 closings took place in October, up 48 percent versus the previous month’s total of 25. Versus this same month last year, sales were up 27.6 percent. Comparing the average number of monthly closings from September through October of this year relative to this same 3-month period 1 year ago, no change was observed.

Also noteworthy was a 29.2-percent increase in total pending sales, from 21 in September to 31 in October. But not only were pending sales up versus the previous month, compared to October of 2011 they were up nearly 35 percent. There was no change in the average monthly number of pending sales each during the months of August, September and October relative to this same 3-month period in 2011; both quarters showed an average of 30 pending sales per month.

There were 273 homes listed on the Martinsville market in October, down 3.5 percent compared to the previous month’s total of 283. But compared to last October’s total of 260 listings, this is actually an increase of 5 percent. In fact, this 1-year comparison stands in stark contrast to what has been observed in most nearby Central Indiana cities, where a reduction in total listings has been the norm. Finally, from August through October of this year there was an average of 277 homes listed for sale each month, or 1.8 percent more, compared to this same period last year.

Indy Real Estate Market Sees Significant Improvements in October, 2012

For the fourth consecutive month, the number of Indianapolis homes listed for sale fell, most recently by 4.6 percent as there were 5,530 listings on the Indy market in October, 2012. But what stands out is not the fact that there were fewer listings on the market versus the previous month’s total of 5,799—considering the time of year, this is hardly unexpected in any Central Indiana real estate market—it’s that this represents a 14.2-percent decrease in total listings versus this same month 1 year ago. What’s more, from September through October of this year, there were 14.8 percent fewer homes on the market each month relative to this same quarter last year. Fewer listings on the market can only be a good thing for sellers considering this has been a buyer’s market for nearly 4 years and counting.

Another very positive statistical development was seen in the latest figures for pending sales. Not only does October’s total of 862 represents a 5.8-percent increase versus the previous month’s total of 815, but versus October of 2011, it is a much larger increase of 16.5 percent. This bodes well for the near-term future of the Indy market. In another comparison, the average number of pending sales, September through October of this year, rose 11.3 percent relative to where the market was during this same 3-month period last year.

And for the trifecta, the most recent total of 904 closings, while off by just a single closing, nevertheless represents a hefty increase of nearly 19 percent in total sales versus 1 year ago. And, from September through October of this year, there was 14.8 percent more sales activity on a monthly basis relative to this same quarter in 2011.

Big Improvements Seen in Greenwood Real Estate Market in October, 2012

While there was a marked, 26.4-percent decrease in the number of closings that took place versus the previous month, the Greenwood real estate market showed some surprising improvements in a number of key areas in October, 2012. But while the most recent total of just 81 closings was off versus the previous month, compared to October of 2011, sales were actually up 8 percent. This is not a huge improvement but nor is it trivial. In fact, statistical improvements in 2012 versus 2011, far from being the exception, have been the norm for many Central Indiana towns and cities. One final note on Greenwood sales: From September through October of this year there were, on average, 114 closings each month, or 16.3 percent more, compared to this same month last year.

Another area of real improvement came in the form of an 8.4-percent increase in total pending sales versus the previous month. But most impressively, October’s total of 90 represents a 63.6-percent increase versus this same month last year. And, from September through October of this year, there were 93 pending sales in the sales pipeline, or 17.7 percent more, versus this same quarter last year.

For anyone trying to sell a home, the most recent 6.6-percent reduction in the total number of homes on the Greenwood market had to be a welcomed surprise. But not only was October’s total of 494 listings down versus the previous month, compared to 1 year ago, it represents a significant 20.0-percent decrease in available inventory. In fact, after plateauing in May, 2012, the number of Greenwood homes listed for sale has fallen each in of the ensuing months.  In yet another comparison, the average number of homes listed for sale each month, from September through October of this year, was down 19.4 percent relative to this same quarter in 2011.

Amid some disappointing statistical developments in the October Franklin real estate market were just a few glimmers of light. The most recent total of 23 closings that took place in October was down 42.5 percent versus the previous month’s total of 40. Not only this, bit versus last October’s total of 36 it is a 36.1-percent decrease in sales activity. In yet another comparison, the average number of closings that took place from September through October of this year was down 11.1 percent compared to this same quarter 1 year ago.

As for those “glimmers”, there were improvements in two key stats when compared to where the market was just 1 year ago.

Fishers Inventory Dwindles for 3rd Straight Month in October, 2012

Despite a few minor and predictable setbacks versus the previous month, the Fishers real estate market made some impressive strides in October, 2012. Take total pending sales as an example: The most recent total of 97 represents a 24.8-percent decrease versus the previous month’s total of 129. But compared to October of 2011 it is an increase of 7.8 percent. Also, from September through October of this year the average number of pending sales logged each month rose 23 percent relative to this same quarter 1 year ago.

The latest figure for total sales was arguably the biggest area of improvement, especially compared to where the market was this same time 1 year ago. October’s total of 136 closings, while 7.9 percent above the previous month’s total of 126, represents a huge 49.5-percent increase versus October of 2011. And looking at the average number of closings that took place on a per-month basis, from September through October of this year, a 21.6-percent increase was observed relative to this same quarter last year.

October marked the third consecutive month the total number of homes listed on the market fell. This time, it was by 7.4 percent, as there were 538 homes on the market compared to the previous month’s total of 581. What’s more the most recent total represents a 16.1-percent decrease versus 1 year ago—a healthy development for the Fishers real estate market, to be sure.  Also, there were, on average, 13.4 percent fewer homes listed for sale each month, from September through October of this year relative this this same 3-month period last year.  Another stat to note: 146 of the 538 homes listed for sale in October were new listings altogether.

Danville Home Sales Rise 35 Percent in October, 2012

The Danville real estate market, while improved in some key areas, was a victim of seasonal changes that typically affect the entire Central Indiana area around this time of year. For example, a total of 7 more closings took place in October, 2012 compared to the previous month’s total of 20. This translates into a marked, 35-percent improvement overall. More importantly, this same time 1 year ago, there were 17.4 percent fewer closings. Clearly, things have improved in this regard. What’s more, from September through October of this year, there were an average of 21 closings each month, or 16.7 percent more versus this same 3-month period 1 year ago.

On the down side, there were just 20 pending sales in the sales pipeline, 4.8-percent fewer, versus the previous month’s total of 21. Versus October of 2011’s total of 22 this is a decrease of 9.1 percent. However, from September through October of this year, there were 22 pending sales in the pipeline each month, or 10 percent more, compared to this same period 1 year ago.

While the 124 homes listed for sale in October represent an 8.1-percent drop in total listings versus the previous month’s total of 135, compared to October of 2011 it is a 3.3-percent increase overall. And from September through October of this year there were, on average, 5.5 percent more homes on the market relative to this same quarter last year. Of the 124 homes listed for sale in October, 20 were new listings altogether. This is down by just 1 listing versus the previous month, and down an even greater 28.6 percent versus October of 2011.

Carmel Real Estate Market Shows Solid Gains in October, 2012

The Carmel real estate market didn’t look especially great in October, 2012 versus the previous month. But compared to where the market was this same time 1 year ago, some solid gains were realized. Total sales, for example, fell 19 percent, from 137 closings in September to 111 in October. But versus last October’s total of just 80 this is a significant 38.8-percent improvement. And, from September through October of this year, an average of 143 closings took place each month, making for a 24.3-percent improvement versus this same period last year.

The latest stats for pending sales were improved, but not by much. October’s total of 101 was off by nearly 18 percent versus the previous month’s total of 123. But compared to last October’s total of 100 this is an improvement of 1 percent—not much to brag about, but also no worse. One big improvement could be seen in yet another comparison. From September through October of this year there were, on average, 124 pending transactions in the pipeline each month, or 19.2 percent more, compared to this same quarter in 2011.

Perhaps the best news came in the form of an 8.8-percent decrease in the total number of Carmel homes listed for sale, from 671 in September to 312 in October. Versus October of 2011, this is a very striking decrease of nearly 20 percent, and also a very healthy development for the market. What’s more, from September through October of this year there were 17.2 percent fewer Carmel homes on the market on average relative to this same 3-month period 1 year ago. Finally, of the 612 homes listed for sale in October, 130 were new listings altogether. This is just 7 fewer versus the previous month, and 11 percent below 1 year ago.

Brownsburg Real Estate Market Improves Significantly in October, 2012

From the looks of the latest figures, you’d have never known the Brownsburg real estate market was well into what is typically a fall slump in sales. October’s total of 47 closings, for example, was up nearly 24 percent over the previous month’s total of 38. Coincidentally, a total of 38 closings also took place 1 year ago, in October, 2011. And from September through October of this year there were, on average, a total of 48 closings per month, or 17.1 percent more, compared to this same period 12 months ago.

Even more impressive was the fact that October’s total of 50 pending sales was up 35.1 percent over the previous month’s total of 37. But that’s not all: Compared to October of 2011, this is an increase of 56.3 percent. This bodes well since pending sales are nearly always a good indicator of things to come in the near future. In yet another comparison, from September through October of this year, an average of 45 pending sales were progressing toward a future closing date, 25 percent more, compared to this same quarter in 2011.

What was particular striking was the sharp decrease in the number of homes listed for sale. October’s total of 13.2 represents a 13.2-percent decrease versus the previous month’s total of 287. And versus October of 2011’s total of 272 it is a decrease of 8.5 percent. The average number of homes listed for sale per month, from September through October of this year, was down 4.2 percent relative to this same 3-month period last year.

Avon Real Estate Market Sales Rise 40.9 Percent in October, 2012

The latest sales figures for the Avon real estate market sure didn’t look like what many Central Indiana real agents have come to expect, given the time of year and the seasonal slump that normally accompanies it. Not only does October’s total of 62 closings represent a 40.9-percent increase versus the previous month’s total of 44, but compared to last October’s total of just 35 it is a huge, 77.1-percent increase in sales. And, from September through October of this year there were an average of 53 closings each month, making for a 23.3-percent increase compared to this same quarter 1 year ago.

While total pending sales fell 17 percent, from September to in October, compared to 12 months ago, this is an increase of percent.  And the average number of pending sales logged from September through October of this year rose 14 percent versus this same 3-month period in 2011.

A small-but-unmistakable improvement was seen in the latest figures for total listings. The most recent total of Avon homes for sale represents a 5.9-percent decrease versus the previous month’s total of 340, and a 7.8-percent decrease versus this same month 1 year ago. And, from September through October of this year there were, on average, 341 homes on the market each month, or 3.9-percent fewer, compared to this same quarter in 2011.

Greenwood September, 2012 Sales Up 12.4 Percent Versus Last Year

The Greenwood real estate market may have slowed down in September, 2012 in comparison to the previous month, but versus this same time 1 year ago, several unmistakable improvements were seen. Starting with our leading indicator of total sales, there were 109 closings in September, 27.3 percent fewer, compared to 150 closings in August.  But compared September of 2011 the most recent total represents a 12.4-percent increase overall. And, from August through September of this year, an average of 132 closings took place each month, 25.7 percent more, compared to this same 3-month period 1 year ago.

Pending sales was another area of improvement, at least in comparison to last year.

And from August through September of this year there were on average 9.9 percent more pending sales per month versus this same quarter last year.

It wasn’t a huge improvement, at least not compared to the previous month; but September’s total of 529 represents a 3.1-percent decrease in total listings. Compared to this same month 1 year ago, listings in Greenwood were down nearly 18 percent. This is a healthy development considering the market doesn’t exactly suffer from a scarcity of inventory. Moreover, from August through September of this year there were, on average, 19.7 percent fewer homes on the market versus this same quarter 1 year ago.

Zionsville Real Estate Market “Spotty” in September, 2012

“Spotty” might be a good word to describe the Zionsville real estate market in September, 2012. For while some statistically significant improvements were seen, the market regressed more than a little bit when it came to other key indicators. But considering this is the time of year the Zionsville market typically slows down, none of this is especially remarkable. Take total sales as an example: September’s total of 36 closings represents a 35.7-percent decrease versus the previous month’s total of 56. But compared to a year ago, this actually translates into a net increase of nearly 6 percent in total sales. Also, from August through September of this year there was an increase of 16.7 percent in the average monthly sales volume versus this same quarter 1 year ago.

Pending sales did not fare as well as our previous stat. The most recent total of 24 pending transactions represents a precipitous 52-percent decrease versus previous month’s total of 50. And compared to last September’s total of 28, it is a decrease of 14.3 percent. Coincidentally, like our previous stat, there was a 16.7-percent increase average number of pending sales from August through September of this year relative to this same period 1 year ago.

One important stat to watch is that of total listings. With the market heading into its perennial fall slump, it’s a good thing that the number of homes for sale in Zionsville fell by 5.4 percent versus the previous month’s total of 257. Moreover, September’s total of 243 listings represents a 22.9-percent decrease compared to this same month 1 year ago. And, from August through September of this year there were, on average, 258 homes on the market each month, or 18.4 percent more, compared to this same time last year.

Westfield Real Estate Sales Climb September, 2012

The Westfield real estate market was markedly improved in September, 2012 relative to where it was just 1 year ago. This was particularly true as it concerned total sales. September’s total of 62 closings now only represents a 10.7-percent increase relative to the previous month’s tally of just 56, but compared to September of 2011 it is a huge, 82.4-percent increase—not bad for a real estate market that is supposed to be entering its annual fall slump! As well, from August through September of this year an average of 60 closings took place each month, or 53.8 percent more, compared to this same quarter last year.

The picture wasn’t as rosy when it came to pending sales—at least not at first. While the most recent total of 33 pending sales represents a fairly significant 41.1-percent decrease compared to the previous month’s total of 56, compared to last September it is a comparably significant increase of nearly 38 percent. What’s more, from August through September of this year there were, on average, 38.2 percent more pending sales per month than there were during this same period 1 year ago.

September brought with it a bit of relief for home sellers, as there were 4.6 percent fewer homes listed for sale. Moreover, the most recent total of 206 listings, compared to last September’s total of 251, represents a much greater decrease of almost 18 percent. And the number of home listed for sale from August through September of this year was also down by 15.2 percent relative to this same quarter last year.

Indianapolis Real Estate Market Contracts in September, 2012

That the fall season was upon us was evident in the latest figures for the Indianapolis real estate market. The latest total of 875 closings that took place in September of 2012, for example, represents a sharp, 19.2-percent decrease in sales volume versus the previous month’s total of 1,083. Be this as it may, it is a respectable 7.4-percent improvement compared to where the Indy market was this same time q year ago. And as anyone who follows the market knows, a 1-year comparison yields far more insight into the overall trend of the market than does a simple 1-month comparison. In yet another comparison, we look at the average number of closings that took place from August through September of this year. The most recent figures show an average of 980 homes were sold each month, or 10.6 percent more, compared to this same period 1 year ago.

One stat that was not particular impressive was that of total pending sales. September’s total of 745 was down 25.8 percent versus the previous month’s total of 1,004. Even compared to last year’s total during this same month, it is a 4.5-percent decrease. One positive stat: The average monthly volume of pending sales from August through September of this year was up 10.5 percent versus this same 3-month period in 2011.

And last but not least, the total number of homes listed for sale fell 1.7 percent, from 5,901 in August to 5,799 in September. But what is most striking about the most recent total is that it represents a 14.4-percent decrease in total listings compare to this same month 1 year ago. And from August through September of this year there were, on average, 5,945 homes listed each month relative to this same period 1 year ago, making for a 14.5-percent decrease overall.

Noblesville Market Slows Down in September, 2012

The Noblesville real lived up to expectations in September of 2012; which is to say it slowed down as it always does this time of year. Despite this fact, some very clear improvements could be seen in comparison to where the market was this same time of year in 2011. Pending sales fell 21.2 percent, for example, versus the previous month’s total of 137. But compared to last September’s total of just 82 pending sales the most recent total of 108 represents a significant increase of nearly 32 percent. Also, from August through September of this year there were, on average, 133 pending sales logged each month, or 16.7 percent more, compared to this same quarter in 2011.

The news in regard to total sales, while not bad, wasn’t as great. September’s total of 121 closings represents a 24.8-percent decrease in sales versus the previous month’s total of 161. And while this is not an improvement versus 1 year ago, it represents a decrease of barely 1 percent. In another comparison, the average number of closings that took place each month, from August through September of this year, rose 14.8 percent versus this same period 1 year ago.

Another positive development for the Noblesville market came in the form of a 1.2-percent decrease in the number of homes listed for sale. But September’s total of 581 listings is represents a far greater 10.8-percent decrease compared to last year’s total during this same month. Moreover, there were, on average, 9.9 percent fewer homes listed on the market from August through September of this year compared to this same quarter in 2011.

Fishers Real Estate Market Holds Steady in September, 2012

The Fishers real estate market was a microcosm of the Central Indiana real estate market as a whole in September of 2012. As is typical for Central Indiana, the onset of the fall season brought with it a significant decrease in overall activity, particularly as it concerned sales. The most recent total of 121 closings that took place in September marks the 3^rd straight month that sales have fallen in Fishers, and is also a 24.8-percent decrease versus the 161 closings that took place just one month prior, in August. Versus 12 months ago, a total of just 1 fewer closing took place, which translates to a decrease of barely 1 percent. On the plus side, from August through September of this year an average of 155 closing took place each month, or 14.8 percent more,  relative to this same quarter in 2011.

One stat that stood out in our 12-month comparison was that of pending sales. While the most recent total of just 108 represents a 21.2-percent decrease relative to August’s total of 137, compared to September of 2011 it is an unmistakable increase of nearly 32 percent. As well, from August through September of this year there were 16.7 percent more pending transactions in the pipeline compared to this same quarter last year.

Sellers benefited from a 1.2-percent decrease in total listings. September’s total of 581 listings represents a 10.8-percent decrease versus this same month last year. And of the 581 homes listed for sale in September, 166 came in the form of new listings. Moreover, the average number of homes listed for sale from August through September of this year was down almost 10 percent versus this same 3-month period 1 year ago.

Carmel Listings Down 3rd Consecutive Month in September, 2012

While it wasn’t obvious at first, the Carmel real estate market improved in September, 2012. Sure, the 133 closings that took place in September represent a 26.9-percent decrease in total sales. But September typically marks the beginning of a seasonally-induced slow-down throughout most of Central Indiana real estate markets, including Carmel. What is pleasantly surprising about the latest figure is that it represents an increase of nearly 10 percent versus this same month in 2011. Also, from August through September of this year an average of 159 closings took place each month, or 14.4 percent more, compared to this same quarter in 2011.

A similar trend holds for pending sales. The most recent total of 112, while 22.8 percent below the previous month’s total of 145, it represents a 7.7-percent increase compared to last September’s total of 104 pending sales. And the average number of pending sales in the sales pipeline each month, from August through September of this year was up a not-so-trivial 17.6 percent compared to this same 3-month period 1 year ago.

Another very important stat is that of total listings. Not only does September’s total of 671 Carmel listings represent a 4-percent decrease versus the previous month’s total of 699, but compared to last September’s total of 806 listings it is a decrease of nearly 17 percent—welcomed news for anyone trying to sell a home, no doubt. And of the 671 homes on the market, 142 were new listings altogether. This is down nearly 25 percent versus the previous month’s total of 189 new listings and down nearly 18 percent versus last September’s total of 173 new listings. Finally, from August through September of this year there were, on average, 699 homes listed on the Carmel market each month, or 15.8 percent fewer, compared to this same 3-month period last year.

Brownsburg Real Estate Market Cools in September, 2012

The Brownsburg real estate market showed signs of a definite slow-down in September, 2012—not that this comes as a surprise, considering the time of year. For the second straight month, a marked decrease in sales was observed as a total of just 37 closings took place in September compared to the previous month’s total of 59. Even compared to last September’s total of 39 closings this is a decrease of 5.1 percent. One positive stat: the average number of closed transactions from August through September of this year was up by 14.6 percent relative to this same period 1 year ago.

Pending sales also took a hit as there were just 28 transactions in the September pipeline compared to the previous month’s total of 45, making for a net decrease of nearly 38 percent. But perhaps most striking is the fact that, compare to this same month 1 year ago, total pending sales were down 26.3 percent. At least the average number of pending sales from August through September of this year was up 12.2 percent relative to this same quarter in 2011.

It’s rarely a good thing when sales fall and listings rise. Fortunately, this was not the case as there were 0.7 percent fewer homes on the market in September versus the previous month. Coincidentally, compared to September of 2011 total listings were also down 0.7 percent. From August through September of this year there were on average 3.7 percent fewer homes on the market relative to this same 3-month period last year.

Avon Real Estate Report for September, 2012

The Avon real estate market in September, 2012 was very much a reflection of the time of year, as total sales fell 18.5 percent versus the previous month’s total of 54 closings.  In fact, September marked the third straight month that total sales fell relative to the previous month. But while sales were most definitely down versus August, compared to September of 2011 they remained unchanged. Also, from August through September of this year there were, on average, 52 closings per month. This represents a 10.6-percent increase versus this same period 1 year ago.

Another stat that failed to impress was that of total pending sales. September’s total of 43 represents an 18.9-percent drop versus the previous month’s tally of 53. Moreover, compared to this same month 1 year ago, total pending sales were down 4.4 percent. In fact, September marked the second consecutive month that Avon pending sales fell. But like our previous stat, when the most recent quarter that spans from August through September is compared to this same quarter 1 year ago, we see that there were, on average, 13.3 percent more pending sales each month, or 51 versus 45 respectively.

Mooresville Real Estate Market Fails to Improve in June, 2012

The Mooresville real estate market left a lot to be desired in June, 2012—at least if you were trying to sell a home! The stats did not favor sellers to be sure. Starting with total sales, there were 8 fewer closings in June, 25 percent fewer, compared to the previous month’s total of 32. But even compared to a year ago this is a 4-percent decrease. The only positive to come out of our latest data-crunching is the fact that an average of 30 closings took place each month, or 30.4 percent more, from April through June of this year relative to this same quarter 12 months ago.

And things didn’t look any rosier when it came to pending sales. June’s total of 23 represents a 28.1-percent decrease relative to the previous month’s total of 32, and an 11.5-percent decrease relative to last June’s total of 26. In fact, total pending sales has pretty much been on a downward trajectory ever since March of this year. But, like our previous stat, there was at least one positive to come out of it: Namely, there were on average 30 pending sales from April through June of this year, or 15.4 percent more, relative to this same 3-month period last year.

Total listings were another area of concern as an additional 2 homes made their way on to the market in June. At least when compared to last June’s total of 179 listings this is a2.8-percent decrease. Another positive: The average number of homes listed for sale from April through June of this year was down 2.8 percent relative to this same quarter 12 months ago.

Martinsville Home Sales Rise 10.7 Percent in June, 2012

After hitting a 15-month low of 222 in January, 2012, the total number of Martinsville homes listed for sale continued to rise for the 4th consecutive month, most recently hitting a total of 280 in June, 2012. This was no doubt a concern to anyone trying to sell a home, since it represents even more competition in what is most decidedly a buyer’s market. June’s total of 280 listings represents a 4.1-percent increase versus the previous month’s total of 269. Also, compared to June of 2011, this is a 1.4-perent increase to listings. In yet another comparison, there were on average 272 homes for sale each month from April through June of this year, which is 0.4 percent below the average for this same period 1 year ago.

Another area of disappointment concerned total sales. June’s total of 31 closings, while 10.7 percent above the previous month’s total of 28, nevertheless represents a 13.9-percent decrease when compared to this same month 1 year ago. The average number of closings each month, from April through June of this year, was unchanged at 26.

But perhaps the biggest disappointment concerned pending sales. It was not looking great as June’s total of 24 pending sales represents a 38.5-percent decrease relative to the previous month’s total of 39. Nearly as bad, this is a 36.8-percent decrease when compared to last June’s total of 38 pending sales. And from April through June of this year there were, on average, 30 pending sales each month, which is exactly unchanged versus this same period 12 months ago.
