Real Estate Market in Indiana

Along with the rest of the nation, the Indiana housing market has experienced a difficult recovery in the past seven or eight years. However, when looking at historic data of the state, Indiana did not fully experienced that “bubble” effect that brought the entire nation upside down. Analysts point to Indiana’s economic performance as the main driver of the housing market, rather than the general trend of the nation’s market.

Today, Indiana is showing signs of significant improvement in the housing market. Ever since 2012, Indiana has produced better results for market activity and housing prices every month on a year-to-year basis. As of October 2013, the number of existing, single-family homes sold statewide increased 15.9 percent when compared with the same period in 2012. The median sales price of $122,800 in 2013 is a 4.1 percent increase from the first 10 months of last year.

Arguably, one of the greatest challenges of the Indiana housing market is the foreclosure situation. In the early 2000s, Indiana had one of the highest foreclosure rates in the nation. While the state is balancing out, foreclosure rates are still keeping home builders in the margins. The good news for investors looking to buy-fix-sell or buy-fix-rent is that there is plenty of inventory in the pre-market segment, and demand from homebuyers is still on the rise. Empowered by low prices and interest rates, and an upswing in wages and employment, homebuyers are starting to look for their next purchase.

Statewide, Indiana is well past the recovery stage and is moving toward a stable, balanced marketplace. Experts tend to agree, all things being equal, that the housing market will continue to show considerable improvements.

If you are an investor looking to buy-fix-sell or buy-fix-rent investment properties in Indiana, you need to find a reliable source of funding. Even if you have the cash available to purchase an investment property, you might want to consider using our hard money loans to make your investments more efficient.
