According to Greg Cooper of COMPASS REAL ESTATE, "The market dynamics we're seeing are unprecedented. While low listings typically stimulate a seller's market, the high mortgage rates are acting as a counterbalance. It's crucial for both buyers and sellers to be well-informed and to work with real estate professionals who understand the intricacies of the current scenario."
High mortgage rates further complicate the issue. Buyers who might have been comfortable with the price of a home now have to reconsider due to the increased cost of borrowing. This means that even if they find a suitable property, the financing might prove to be a hurdle.
This week, we discuss mortgage rates offered by banks, mortgage lenders, and mortgage brokers to determine who is the most competitive in today's market. Tony Cardenas and Greg Evans from SimpleMortgage123.net will share their insights on current market trends. We reviewed today's rates live during the show.

"For this week's show, Greg Cooper from Compass Real Estate in Carmel, Indiana discusses the challenges of buying and selling in the current market. Additionally, I delve into the latest Housing Wire news and WSJ mortgage rates."
Indianapolis, with its thriving neighborhoods and buzzing real estate activity, serves as a testament to the Midwest's steady growth. Beyond the city limits, areas like Carmel, Fishers, Westfield, and Noblesville resonate with their own rhythms of property sales. At a glance, everything appears to be moving upwards and onwards. But, as is often the case with real estate, the devil is in the details.
While aggregated data from a vast 16-county area might suggest a certain trend or pattern, it's vital for buyers, sellers, and investors to understand that not all data paints an accurate picture. For instance, generalized data can sometimes obfuscate the nuances of individual markets, leading to potential misconceptions. If you’re aiming for a comprehensive understanding of a city's or neighborhood's market, local insights become indispensable.
There's a saying in real estate: "Local knowledge is gold." This couldn’t be truer for Indianapolis and its surrounding areas. A realtor who has been on the ground, making daily sales in a specific city, can offer insights no broad dataset can match.
Imagine considering a property in Carmel. While broad data might hint at market saturation, a local realtor could enlighten you about an upcoming infrastructure project or community center that might substantially boost property values in the near future. That's the sort of on-the-ground intelligence that can make or break an investment.
When it comes to financing a property, the big banks with their towering skyscrapers might seem like the obvious choice. But a closer look reveals a different narrative. Small town banks and independent brokers are increasingly outshining their larger counterparts. They're not only more aggressive in their offerings but also often provide better rates.
Moreover, the experience with smaller banks tends to be more personalized. Large institutions can sometimes get bogged down with bureaucracy, making the mortgage process longer and more tedious. In contrast, a smaller bank or broker might offer flexibility, speed, and a level of personal attention that larger banks struggle to match.
Indianapolis and its surrounding cities are booming real estate hubs, but understanding their intricacies requires a local touch. Whether it's making an informed property purchase or securing the best mortgage rate, turning to local experts, be it realtors or small-town banks, can make all the difference. In the world of real estate, a local touchpoint isn't just an advantage—it's a necessity.

Taking a closer look, Shelly Walters and Kyle Morris, renowned industry experts, shed light on an essential aspect: contingencies in home selling. With market dynamics being as fluid as they are, sellers are increasingly advised to consider contingencies to ensure they're safeguarded throughout the deal.
But that's not where the complications end. The mortgage domain, too, is riddled with nuances that every prospective homebuyer must be aware of. While low mortgage rates might seem alluring at first glance, the fine print tells another story. Getting a pre-approval may provide a sense of security, but it's the full final approval that seals the deal. And in this journey, transparency—or the lack thereof—by lenders can be a gamechanger. Buyers, be vigilant. Those tantalizing low rates could be laden with hidden costs in terms of points and fees.

Indy Real Estate Market Podcast: Tight Inventory and Low Mortgage Rates Fuel Competition
According to the latest Redfin report, the housing market in Indy Metro continues to face challenges due to tight inventory and historically low mortgage rates. The report highlights that a staggering 91.8% of homeowners in the US with mortgages are enjoying interest rates below 6%, which is just below the record high of 92.9% reached in 2022.
Homeowners are reluctant to part with their lower rates, as they secured them before the spike in rates last year. This situation has contributed to the ongoing scarcity of available properties in the market. The report suggests that the majority of American homeowners, 82.4%, have a mortgage rate below 5%, and 62% have a rate below 4%. Remarkably, 23.5% of homeowners even have a mortgage rate below 3%, one of the highest proportions on record.
These statistics are considered to be the primary drivers behind the shortage of new home listings. Both newly listed homes and total listings have plummeted to record lows for this time of year. As a result, prospective homebuyers are facing intensified competition, which is further preventing home prices from declining.
Given the persistently high mortgage rates and the potential for further increases, fewer current homeowners may choose to sell and re-enter the market. Without an influx of new inventory, the US housing market bubble could continue to grow, leading to further price escalation.
The podcast discusses these findings in detail, shedding light on the challenges faced by homebuyers and the potential implications for the Indy Metro real estate market.

Welcome to the Indianapolis Real Estate Market Weekly Podcast! In today's episode, we dive into the pressing question on everyone's mind: Is the sinking housing market finally at the bottom? We have gathered insights from market experts who will shed light on the state of mortgage financing and discuss what the potential "new normal" might look like.
Over the past 15 months, the housing market has faced significant challenges as the Federal Reserve took action to combat rising inflation. Starting in March 2022, the Fed escalated its benchmark interest rate, causing a ripple effect in the housing industry. With a total of 10 rate hikes since then, the once-hot housing market came to a screeching halt.
As we approach the June 13-14 meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), industry professionals are bracing themselves for another potential shock to interest rates. However, amidst this uncertainty, there is a glimmer of hope. Many market observers believe that the Fed might pause its rate-escalation strategy at the upcoming meeting. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, which calculates probabilities for FOMC rate moves, there is a 77% chance that rates will remain steady within the current range of 5% to 5.25%.
In this episode, we will explore the implications of this possible pause in rate hikes and its impact on the Indianapolis real estate market. Our experts will analyze the current state of mortgage financing and provide their predictions for what the future might hold. Join us as we navigate through these uncertain times and seek to uncover the potential "new normal" for the Indianapolis housing market.

In today's market news, mortgage rates have seen a slight increase due to the Federal Reserve's recent interest rate hikes. However, there is some potential for stability ahead. Following a 25-basis-point increase on May 3, the Fed has indicated that this might be the last hike for now. The central bank is considering a pause in rate hikes and keeping rates steady to bring inflation down to its 2% target. If inflation continues to decrease, experts believe that a pause in rate hikes could bring stability to the current volatile mortgage rate market.

The housing market's significance to the nation's economy cannot be overstated, a fact evident in the events of the past year. In 2022, the market took unexpected twists and turns, leaving both experts and analysts surprised. As we venture further into the new year, the housing market continues to defy predictions and expectations. This is attributed to a combination of factors, including elevated mortgage rates, inflation, persistently high home prices, and a scarcity of inventory in most local markets—factors that are deviating from the norm. Furthermore, the recent banking crisis has compounded the already unusual pressure on the housing market.
Though rates are approaching the levels where they started in 2023—and threatening to surpass them—housing market watchers continue to hold out hope that mortgage rates peaked last year and will soon resume their steady decline, assuming the Federal Reserve backs off on rate hikes.

Welcome to this week's podcast, where we delve into the dynamic real estate market of Indianapolis.

Justin Griffith Kellers Williams and Shelly Walters FC. Tucker Carmel Office we discuss about this weeks bleak outlook on inventory in Marion and Hamilton County.
The housing market in Carmel, Westfield, Noblesville, Fishers and Zionsville Indiana, appears to be experiencing a slowdown, with limited inventory and rising interest rates. This situation can be attributed to several factors, which may include the following:
High demand and low supply: Carmel has seen an increased demand for homes due to its strong economy, good schools, and family-friendly amenities. This demand, coupled with a limited number of homes available for sale, has led to a competitive market with low inventory.
Rising interest rates: The Federal Reserve has been raising interest rates to control inflation and stabilize the economy. Higher interest rates make borrowing more expensive, which can lead to decreased demand for mortgages and a subsequent slowdown in the housing market.
Seller hesitancy: Homeowners may be hesitant to sell their homes in a market with low inventory and rising interest rates. They may be concerned that they will not be able to find a suitable replacement home, or that they will need to take on a more expensive mortgage if they sell.

Mortgage apps decline as first-time buyers pull back from the market Borrowers’ demand for government loans decreased by 14%: MBA
As the banking crisis stabilized last week, mortgage rates increased, reducing borrower demand for home loans. However, with limited for-sale housing inventory, these higher rates are primarily challenging for potential first-time homebuyers.
Overall, mortgage applications fell last week by 8.8% from one week earlier on a seasonally adjusted basis, per the Mortgage Bankers Association’s (MBA) Weekly Mortgage Applications Survey. April 19, 2023, 11:13 am By Flávia Furlan Nunes by Housing Wire.

This week, we interviewed Angel Dean, the managing broker at FC Tucker Carmel, along with Shelly Walters and Kyle Morris. With the arrival of spring, the housing market is experiencing low inventory, resulting in realtors selling properties for over the list price. It is advisable to hire a real estate agent to avoid overbidding and potentially save a significant amount of money.

Mortgage Rates Recover After Inflation Data Matched ForecastsBy: Matthew GrahamWed, Apr 12 2023, 4:25 PM "Mortgage News Daily "
If we could only blame one thing for the huge jump in interest rates seen since early 2022, it would be inflation. That fact led to a high degree of focus on reports like today's Consumer Price Index (CPI), which is unequivocally the most relevant monthly data point on inflation as far as interest rates are concerned.
Today's CPI data was right in line with expectations at face value, but the underlying details were slightly rate-friendly. Specifically, the component that measures housing expense saw its biggest drop since the start of the pandemic. That's important because it remains one of the last and most stubborn sticking points in a price landscape where many other components have long since corrected back to more normal levels.
Housing Inventory is Short in Indy Metro Markets + Anderson Indiana this week with Nick and Marty @ RE/MAX Anderson
The housing inventory in the Indianapolis metropolitan area is currently short, causing some homes to sell for more than their asking price. Despite the high 6% to 7% fixed mortgage rates, the demand for homes remains strong.
Mortgage Brokers Outpacing Banks:
In this market, mortgage brokers are outpacing banks as they offer lower rates. Banks seem to be offering higher rates, making mortgage brokers a more attractive option for homebuyers.
