Indianapolis Real Estate Market Review – November 2008

The real estate market in the Metropolitan Indianapolis area has slowed to a crawl over the last few months. In October there were 1970 sales; this month slowed again to 1610 sales, compared to 2219 sales in November 2007.

Active Homes:

  • There are currently 19,118 active homes and condos for sale
  • The average price of homes for sale is $201,767.
  • The average days on market for active homes is 147 days

Sold Homes:

  • There were 1610 homes and condos sold in November
  • The average price of sold homes was $125,932
  • The average days on market for sold homes was 92 days

The disparity in numbers between active and sold homes indicates there are not as many higher dollar value homes being sold, as well as some overpriced homes on the market. We also have a lot of investor activity in the market right now who are quickly buying lower priced bank owned homes. Of the 1610 homes sold this month, 394 of them sold for less than $50,000.

This type of activity skews the numbers for the entire area. I have provided links for local area market reports. 

Average days on market and absorption rate will vary by price range.

Statistics were obtained from the Metropolitan Indianapolis Board of Realtors (MIBOR) data and are representative of Indianapolis homes which were sold between 11/1/2008 and 11/30/2008.  Available homes were active on 1/31/2009. This data is reflective of homes which were listed on the Indianapolis BLC; private sales are not included. All information is believed to be accurate, but is not guaranteed.
