I hope to be adding some fancy new graphs soon, but that will have to wait until I can figure it out completely.
So what does this “buyers market” look like in Fishers? Well, not so bad actually compared to other parts of the country. We do see a drop off of 11% fewer homes sold in 2008 vs. 2007. However, we only see a 2% decrease in the average selling price. Any decrease is bad, but in this market a 2% decrease is phenomenally good.
In addition to the sold data, these stats are also relevant to look at:
- There are currently 645 homes on the market right now.
- The current average asking price is $302,962.
- The average home has been on the market for 108 days.
- The average asking price per square foot is $111.
- There are currently 69 homes pending.
- The average pending home is listed for $90 / sq. ft. and has been on the market for 95 days.
What does all this mean? Well, it means that although no market is immune from the housing crisis, Fishers real estate is weathering the storm quite well. Fishers, and the rest of Hamilton County, should be among the first to emerge from this current downward trend and still remains a safe place to invest in a home.

Looks like Fishers is doing well - That 2% drop is certainly bearable considering the low interest rates and up coming $15k tax credit; the average days on market is pretty comparable to an average market and is very good (compared to the nation). Hopefully, things keep up -
