Market Watch – March 2011 edition

Posted on March 13th, 2011 by Richard. Categories: Market Conditions, Market Watch.

A look back at last months residential market activity shows a market finding it’s balance with the economic conditions. Without external government stimulus money influencing activity as there was in 2010 at this time, the number of sales are less than this same period last year, but still solid, with more than 1,400 homes sold overall last month in the greater Indianapolis metropolitan area. Even though the number of sales

Residential market activity was down last month compared to January of 2010. But you have to dig a little below the surface to put that into perspective.

A look back at the official numbers for last months market activity in the 9 county, greater metropolitan Indianapolis area shows a noticeable decline in the number of sales compared to October of last year… about 40% less actually. But total sales throughout the year so far have been fairly strong, and the year-to-date sales numbers are only about 9.7% less than this same time period last year. What is interesting though is the average sale price
