Despite Indiana’s booming seller’s market, the fall-through rate on real estate purchases is at an all-time high. “What’s happening is buyers are forced into making very, very quick decisions,” says Jada Sparks, managing broker at Carpenter Realtors’ Anderson office. “They’re forced to walk into a house and make a decision in five minutes or they’ll lose the house. That sets a tone that makes the transaction much harder. The buyers get emotional, start to backtrack, start to question. It’s setting us up to start transactions on shakier ground.”

A Yard Sign and Internet Listing Isn’t Enough: Aggressively Marketing a Home Brings More Buyers and Better Offers
Central Indiana has hundreds of real estate companies and thousands of licensed agents, but when it comes to resources not all are equal. Working with a realtor who is backed by strong resources — especially marketing and training — ensures your home gets seen by as many potential buyers as possible and that the transaction goes smoothly, quickly and stress-free.
What Buyers Look for in Different Price Ranges
As Central Indiana real estate booms, the market tends to favor sellers. Record low housing inventory means homes sell quickly and buyers should prioritize their preferences. However, sellers can make the most of the market if they know what prospective buyers are looking for.
Staging – to Show Your Home for Sale in its Best Light
It’s amazing how things change and stay the same. The real estate market continues to be more of a challenge than it has been in many years. But it’s not that homes aren’t selling; it’s that some homes aren’t selling.
Getting Your Home Ready to Sell
You want to sell your home, and you want it to go quickly and for your asking price. Sound like it’s too good to be true? The reality is that how fast your home sells and what you get for it does depend on the market and how well it’s marketed, but it also depends on you. For example, when people look for a new home, they are far more attracted to homes that need no work and that show very well, even when the specs are the same as a run-down house that just doesn’t “wow” them.
Reasons to Sell Your Home in the Fall
Although the hot, muggy weather continues to linger across Indiana, crisp fall days are on the horizon. With autumn comes cooler temperatures, beautiful colors and festive traditions.

Buying or Selling? Is it the right time?
So – it’s been five years or more that you’ve been hearing that the housing market is up, that home prices are increasing but there are more homes available. That means as a seller, this could be a great opportunity! Or is it? Should you wait to see if the market turns around again?
