Time on Market for Plainfield Homes Rebounds from 12-Month High - 06/10/10 09:55 AM

 

While the Plainfield, Indiana average of 107 days on market in March was not as bad as that of other Indiana cities it was nevertheless far from ideal. Fortunately, the average time on market dropped significantly in April – 19.6 percent to be exact -- to ‘just’ 86 days. This is more in line with the 12-month average of 84 days and a heck of a lot better than the 15-month high of 120 days that was set not once, but twice, in March and April of 2009.
The total number of homes sold dropped 6.9 percent, from … (0 comments)

Greenfield Pending Sales Soar 45 percent in April - 06/03/10 10:29 AM

 

The total number homes sold in Greenfield, Indiana dropped 5.6 percent, from 36 in March to 34 in April. But this statistic comes with big, fat asterisk, namely, because there was such a large, off-setting increase in the total number of pending sales, from 40 the previous month to 58 in April--an increase of 45 percent. This is also a whopping 76-percent increase from last April’s total of just 34 percent.

Mooresville Home Sales Down, Listings Up - 06/03/10 10:13 AM

p>The not-so-good news for the Mooresville real estate market was that a 3-month trend toward increased sales was broken in April as the total number of homes sold dropped 10.5 percent. The upside to this is that there was a more-than-compensatory 18.2 percent increase in the total number of pending sales, from 22 in March to 26 in April. Compared to April of 2009 this was a 52.9 percent increase in pending sales. Still, the number of new listings out-paced the increase in pending sales by a factor of 8—good news for cost-conscious buyers, not-so-good news for sellers.
But April … (1 comments)
