Six of the nine counties reported increased sales compared to February 2014. However, in Boone County sales last month tumbled 8.1 percent to 68 homes sold.

  • Inventory is selling at a slower pace. In Zionsville, homes remain on the market an average of 96 days, nine days longer than the same time period last year.

We’re excited to see the first quarter moving in a positive direction. As we head toward the spring selling months, we’re optimistic that modest sales gains will continue across most of Central Indiana.
