Originally posted at My Fishers Blog Sure, everybody knows a REALTOR; but how do you find the right REALTOR for you. Maybe you already know a lot about the Fishers Real Estate market and you just need someone to negotiate for you. Or maybe you aren’t sure what you can even afford and need to start at the beginning with a REALTOR. Here are some things to ponder as you start the process of searching for a home for sale in Fishers. The Metropolitan Board of REALTORS has 5,800 members. There were 75% of those agents that did less than 10 transactions last year. And of the remaining, only 250 agents wrote more than 30 transactions last year. That says that there is a small pool of experienced agents and in this business experience is priceless. It is so much more than sitting down and listen... 01/21/2012

Homes sold in Fishers for the year 2011 compared to 2010 were actually only 2% different. There were 1447 homes sold in Fishers in 2011 compared with 1476 a year ago. Thank goodness for the third quarter, the only quarter where we outsold 2010. The reason is simple…in 2010, the first time buyer credit expired on 6/30/10 so that there were virtually no more buyers in the 3rd quarter of 2010. It is good to see amidst all of the negative rhetoric about the declining housing market that at the end of the year we can see our local Fishers Real Estate market be within 2% from a year ago. Other good news includes the average selling price. This year, an average home in Fishers sold for $241,058 compared with $229,909 a year ago. This represents about a 5% increase in the selling prices. The on... 01/11/2012
