All About Indiana Real Estate

By Heather Fitzgerald, REALTOR Greenwood Indiana Real Estate
(REALTY WORLD-Harbert Company, Inc.)
The Indianapolis real estate market is shifting, and we’re seeing more expired listings and price reductions. With inflation, high interest rates, and an election on the horizon, this is an unprecedented time for all of us. Many experts believe this won’t resemble the market crash of 2007, and local Sheriff Sales data supports that. For every viewpoint, there’s a counterpoint, making it a unique time for buyers and sellers.As an Indianapolis home seller or buyer, it’s important to make decisions that are right for your family. We can’t predict when rates will drop, and they’re unlikely to reach the 2% range we saw recently. Are we at the peak of real estate prices? The growing number of price reductions could indicate that we are. You might also be considering options like multigenerati...

We are entering a different Real Estate Market here in Indianapolis.We are seeing more expired listings and more price reductions.  The tide is turning.  We will see how this plays out with the election coming up and inflation and rates where they are at.  This is an unprecedented time we are all in, that is for sure.  Many experts argue that this phase we are entering into will not be like the market crash around the 2007 time frame and so far, if you look at Sheriff Sales in the area, the information coincides with that.  For every argument that things will go one way, there is an argument in the opposite direction.As an Indianapolis home seller or homebuyer you will have to decide what is right and comfortable for your family.  We do not know for sure rates will drop, it is doubtful ...
