Fishers Indiana Real Estate Market Report for May 2009
Posted by Cindy Marchant under For Buyers, For Sellers, Marketing Reports, Fishers, Market Reports
Active Homes for sale in Fishers Indiana for May total 735. What is most interesting is of the 189 new listings that came on the market in May, nearly 20% of them were from high end neighborhoods (sale price over $500,000) including Bridgewater, Canal Place, Lake Stonebridge, and Windermere Pointe. This may tell us that consumer confidence is beginning to come back or it may tell us executive job loss is on the rise; what’s your call?
This market report covers the activity for May 2009 and is for both Delaware and Fall Creek Townships. Please be sure to look at our Market Report category for previous month reports.
Active Single Family Homes Listed in May 189
Single Family Homes Currently Active 735
Single Family Homes Sold in May 140
Average Sale Price per sq ft $96 (Nearly a 10% increase over last month)
Average Days on the Market 70 (Over a 25% decrease over last month)
The neighborhood with the most sold in May were Sumerlin Trails (7) and Sunblest Farms (8). These are first time buyer priced neighborhoods so that makes sense to see those turning over more. If we look at May of 2008, we had 167 homes sell, compared with 140 in 2009. This is a 15% decline from 2008; this is still encouraging since our decline %ages have been in the 30’s for previous months of 2009 compared with 2008.
What is, however, very interesting is the number of distressed homes (aka deals in Fishers Real Estate!) that sold in May. In 2008 we had 5 or 3%; in 2009 we had 14 or 10%.
The most expensive home that sold in the Fishers Real Estate market was $1,155,000 this month in The Hawthornes near 106th and Geist Road. It was on the market for 292 days. The lowest priced home was in Marilyn Ridge for $71,000 and it was in foreclosure.
The neighborhoods with the most new listings this month include Brooks Chase (5), The Bristols (4), Woodberry (6) and Sunblest Farms (9). You can search for any Fishers Real Estate for Sale by Neighborhood here!
The most expensive Fishers home listed this month is actually one of mine, at $2,200,000 in The Overlook and sits on hole 16 with over 11,000 square feet.
Finally, one last tidbit that I think supports the Fishers Real Estate market being hot. Of the 117 homes pended in May; 39 of them or 33% were on the market LESS THAN 30 DAYS! Also of those 117 homes pended 44 or nearly 40% were less than $175,000. The first time buyer is buying and in some cases, actually being too late to get the house they want because there is competition for that price point.

Maybe those high end Fishers home sellers are feeling more confidence in the move-up market? June 7, 2009 at 8:26 am
Hi Cindy, I've been exploring other real estate blogs as of late and most are also saying that they're also experiencing an increase in high-end home sales. Is this a sign that the market will be on a roll again? I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Cheers, Nicole June 16, 2009 at 12:33 am
Really enjoyed your informative article in regards to the real estate topic. How is the luxury real estate market out there ? Jim June 17, 2009 at 7:30 am
Hi Nicole; it may be a sign of the market being on a roll but, actually I think it is more executives losing their jobs...we are seeing high end homes come ON the market not go OFF the market. Our absorption rate for homes over $1,000,000 for Zionsville, Fishers and Carmel is at 15 YEARS! We have seen 6 sell since 1/1/09 and we have 138 on the market. If you look at over $2,000,000 we have 32 on the market and only one has pended and nothing has actually sold in that price range since the first half of 2008. Boston Condo's ...I guess our luxury market (if defined as over $1,000,000) would still be struggling. June 17, 2009 at 10:14 am
Wow. That many homes selling in less than 30 days is pretty hectic. Hot market indeed! June 18, 2009 at 2:23 pm
