Top 5 Questions for Selling a Home

I am answering the Top 5 Questions for Selling your Carmel Indiana Real Estate. We are up to Question 5 which is how long will it take to sell my Carmel Home?

It depends!

It depends on many factors such as your inital listing price, the condition of your home and to some degree where it is located. Your Carmel Realtor® is an accountant by background and LOVES the analysis involved in selling real estate.

So, those living in east Carmel (46033) actually sell quicker than those living in west Carmel (46032); but just barely. Typically the average days on market (DOM) are less than 90 for 46033 and are at 95 DOM for 46032. This may be because the price point is a tad higher in west Carmel.

Neighborhoods in Carmel 46033 that do exceptionally well (less than 30 days) are:

• Ashbrooke
• Cheswick Place
• Shelborne Green

Neighborhoods in 46033 that have some lengthier time on the market are:

• Carmel Station
• Springmill Crossing
• Village of West Clay

Neighborhoods in 46032 that do exceptionall well are:

• Plum Creek Farms
• Foster Grove
• Carolina Commons

Neighborhoods in 46032 that have some lenthier time on the market are:

• Copperwood
• Foster Estates

Some things to keep in mind as you think about your neighborhood and your Carmel home are:

1. If you back up to a road it is an automatic 4-6% reduction in price per sq ft
2. If you can hear 146th, US31 or Michigan Road it will take longer to sell your home
3. If you have bold colors or clutter, your home will take longer to sell and at a lower price
4. If you have smoke in your home, prepare for a very very lengthy time on the market
5. If you have not updated your home, specifically bathrooms and kitchens and were built before 1990 if will take you longer to sell. Updates do NOT include roof, HVAC or windows; those are maintenance items. However, they will usually decrease the time that home is on the market but will have little effect on pricing.

When you are ready to sell your home, be sure to contact your Carmel Realtor® who can run the comparables in your neighborhood, suggest a stager to make your home as appealing as possible and market your Carmel home better than any other real estate agent!
