Indy Housing Market Update
Welcome again to another issue of the Indy Housing Market Update... where I briefly summarize the current trends of our local housing market, and provide a link to the latest home sale statistics from our local board, the Mid-Indiana Board of Realtors (MIBOR).
Hot Topics for the Month of July
Statistics show a strong indication that prices are beginning to stabilize, which is a welcomed notion for buyers. Last year at this time, median sales prices were increasing in the double digits, now growth is half to a third of that. Additionally, closed price to original listing price had been growing for over 6 years (May 2012 - October 2018), but since November November 2018 that has steadily declined. This year, the spring season is shaping up to be nearly as good as last year. So, although the numbers of available properties continue to decline, with the interest rates also staying low and the job market remaining strong, we expect to see the market steady.
Year-over-Year data for May:
- Median sales price increase 3.2% to $196,000
- Average days on market was unchanged at 36
- Current active listings increase to 5,431
