Well, just when I thought we might be turning this thing around July comes in with some weak numbers. The number of homes sold being off I can live with, but the average sales price dipping down again is maddening. Last month, we saw a little tick up in the average sales price and I was hopeful this was a sign of things turning around. Well, I guess not so fast. The good news is that the absorption rate actually went down to a healthy 5.41. The fundamentals of the Fishers Indiana real estate market are strong; we just need the consumer confidence to catch up and Fishers will be doing fine.
