The news for homes for sale in Fishers is getting gloomy. The last several months have seen declining numbers compared to prior years. It certainly isn’t the low interest rates, I saw 3.25% on a 15 year last week at a closing. It certainly isn’t seller motivation, I have seen seller’s give up way more than the average 5-7% on a list price. What is it then? Perhaps consumer confidence and with an election looming in 2012; I am not sure we will be out of this for quite awhile.
The numbers for November 2011 showed an 18% decline from last year at this time. In 2011, 72 homes sold in Fishers compared with 88 last year and 123 in 2009!
The stats are equally gloomy with the average days on market at 103 in 2011 compared with only 88 a year ago. The average price of a home sold in Fishers in 2011 was $246,973 compared with $248,382 a year ago.
Some of the neighborhoods that sell like hot cakes fell off this month, most notably Sunblest. It had only one home sold this month. The only one that seems to be holding its own is Avalon of Fishers, the Pulte subdivision just north of 116th on Olio. They sold 5 homes this month.
The lowest priced home was an 1850 sq ft home in Luxhaven selling for $40,000 and Fishers saw two over $1,000,000 sell this month.
If you are thinking of selling your home in Fishers, be sure you have the best Real Estate agent in Fishers helping you. Review the comparables with them, don’t just assume they or you have the right number. Compare sq ft, compare finishes, compare lot, compare upgrades, etc. Get the right price out of the gate! Then stage it and show it whenever you can…and hopefully 11 showings later (my average), it will be SOLD!
