carmel homes for sale: Homes Sold in Carmel 2011 Stats - 01/11/12 11:59 PM
Homes sold in Carmel for the year 2011 compared to 2010 were up 7% which is great news. There were 1324 homes sold in Carmel in 2011 compared with 1234 a year ago.
Nearly every quarter in 2011 outsold the quarters of 2010. Probably the only reason the 2nd quarter lagged was due to all the first time home buyers in 2010 in that time period trying to take advantage of the $8,000 first time home buying credit.
It is good to see amidst all of the negative rhetoric about the declining housing market that at the end of the … (1 comments)

Banner month for Carmel Real Estate.  There were 142 homes sold in July of 2011 compared with 125 in July of 2010!  Also great news with the days on market decreasing to 78 from 83 a year ago and the average sale price increasing to $334,600 compared with $332,600 a year ago.
It is important to at least note that June of 2010 was an extremely heavy month of sale making July of 2010 a bit on the lighter side.  It is important to see this type of increase given the last few months that … (1 comments)

Originally posted at my Carmel Blog
I think if I were looking for a home for sale in Carmel, a ranch styled home with a basement would be on my short list.  The comforts of single floor living appeals to me greatly these days!  I would also want a basement; after all these years I would need a place to store all the “stuff” from the kids moving out and leaving things behind!
I love being a REALTOR for many reasons but one of those reasons is the ability to just look at different types of housing on a whim.  Today, … (7 comments)

With so many homes for sale in Carmel, you want to be sure yours sells.  Here are some ideas to be sure you aren't one of those who can't sell their home in Carmel!
Did you price it correctly; not what you wanted to get for the home but what the market data say the sales price should be.  We often hear, "I need to get ‘x' for the home" and while we understand the financial investment you have made and what you need to go to the next phase, the market drives the price.

For January 50 homes in Carmel were sold in 2011 compared with 54 in January of 2010.  The 50 homes is about the norm in the area, Fisher sold 48 homes and Noblesville 40 in January of this year.  Weather certainly played a role in that...with all the ice we have had, I'm sure … (0 comments)

There are some things I can embrace easily….blogging for example.  There are other things where I need a nudge or a significant push.  Thank you Bob Stewart for the push to pursue putting a video online; it is something I have often thought about but was sure I couldn’t do it.

carmel homes for sale: Carmel Indiana Real Estate Market Report November 2010 - 12/09/10 11:11 PM
This is certainly a frustrating time for sellers anywhere in the U.S.  And it is in the Carmel Indiana Real Estate market too; it is taking longer to sell homes and they are selling for less.  If you are a buyer, you can certainly be reaping the benefits.
Here are the results for my local area, Carmel Indiana.  There were 67 homes closed in November 2010 compared with 120 in November 2009.  There were 10 distressed homes in both years for November; but the %age is higher in 2010 since there were fewer total homes sold.
The days on the market were 107 … (26 comments)
