Going through foreclosure in IN?<\/strong> This article walks you through the affects foreclosure could have on you…<\/p><\/div>If you are trying to sell your house, you may be finding that it is more difficult than you had expected… especially if your house has any repairs needed that buyers just don’t want to deal with.\n\nIn this article we’ll dive into some of the devastating consequences of foreclosure in Indianapolis for house sellers.\u00a0<\/strong>\n

Local Indianapolis House Buyers Have Lots Of Options For Houses But Fewer Options For Financing<\/h2>\nThere are floods of homes on the market<\/strong>, and thanks to the economic turmoil in recent past (and still going on in some areas),<\/em> some types of houses just aren’t selling as fast as they were 5 years ago… while the “sweet spot” type of house (3 bedroom 2 bath in the middle to lower-middle price range) are selling at a good clip.\n\nPart of it is because lending guidelines have changed since the housing collapse so fewer buyers are out there for some homes… there are still stockpiles of foreclosed houses in Indianapolis<\/em> that keep trickling into the market from banks… and buyers are more choosy than they were in years past because many of them have learned that you can no longer buy a house and bank on the fact that it will appreciate a 3%+ a year in value.\n\nIf you are a seller in this market, you may be becoming discouraged and wonder how you can just sell your Indianapolis house fast, right?<\/strong>\n\nIf it seems like you keep putting more money out to improve your home (or if you have repairs but don’t have the money to do those repairs), but are still having a hard time selling your Indianapolis house<\/a><\/strong>, you aren\u2019t alone. A buyer\u2019s market makes conditions hard for seller\u2019s to swallow. No one likes to see their home picked apart, criticized, or devalued, but that is exactly what most sellers are dealing with.\n\nWorse yet, due to the devastating consequences of foreclosure in Indianapolis<\/em>, many sellers in the area who hold out for the price they want\u00a0are getting little action and no offers at all… sometimes leaving the house on the market for months on end.\n

How Foreclosures Have Driven Local Housing Prices Down<\/h2>\nWhen the housing market crashed and the foreclosures began to roll in, it flooded the real estate market<\/a> in Indianapolis. That means that there is more inventory on the market. When that happens, that drives the price of everyone\u2019s house down because there are more options (at lower prices) for buyers out there.\n\nWhen there is more inventory than buyers, it devalues the homes for sale.\n\nThe jury is still out on whether we’ve climbed out of this foreclosure hole or not. \u00a0There are still lots of foreclosure houses in the Indianapolis area and the banks are still holding many many area homes in their own inventory that aren’t even for sale yet.\n\nBut, there are some things you can do in this market to reach your goals with selling your house.\n

Selling Your House In A High Foreclosure Market<\/h2>\nIf you’re wanting (or needing) to sell your house you’ve got a couple\u00a0options you should look at.\n
