And our 3 year price history chart:
For the month of December, Carmel had a bit of an off month compared to last year. The number of homes sold and the average sales price were down for the month with the average sales price off by 12% over last year. However, it appears to be a bit of an anomaly as the average sales price dipped to $281,000 for December 2011 which is out of the norm and I would expect affected by a series of low sales. When you look at the year end data, the picture actually improves quite a bit with the number of Carmel Indiana homes selling up 10% over last year and the average sales price for all Carmel Indiana real estate down only 2%.
In 2011, only 7% of all sold activity in Carmel was a result of “distressed” properties. This is a very important fact because elsewhere distressed homes have a huge impact in dragging down home values. That in combination with the fact that Carmel only has a 5.44 absorption rate, or number of month’s supply of homes, leads me to be relatively optimistic about 2012 for the Carmel Indiana real estate market.
