The first Fishers Indiana real estate market report for 2013 leaves us optimistic that this will be a good year for the housing market in general and (finally!) sellers in particular.
Closed Sales continue to skyrocket in Fishers; up 60 percent in January 2013 as compared to January 2012 and up 42.3 percent in the quarter ending in January 2013 when compared to the same three-month period last year. New Inventory, on the other hand, is growing at a much slower pace. January 2013 New Inventory is up just 1.6 percent from the previous year and 6.3 percent for the three months ending in January.
Another telling statistic from the January 2013 Fishers real estate market report is that Average Days on the Market have dropped dramatically from last year, both in the month to month and the quarterly comparisons. Average Days on the Market went from 112 between November 2011 and January 2012 to 92 to the same time frame ending in January 2013. Bottom line: buyers are jumping on homes that are presented well and priced appropriately.

According to a report by the National Association of REALTORS, much of the country has already transitioned to a seller's market, and there's no reason to think that Fishers will be any different!
