• Fresh, well-priced homes will not move on price. Do not waste offers on them.

Is now a good time to buy in Noblesville?

Asking prices are at their highest point on record. You are buying at the top. Underwrite it that way. Prices are rising again. Every month you wait costs money. The question is no longer when. It is which house. Noblesville prices have risen in 95 of the last 108 months. Drops here have been short and shallow. Buying in a slow month has rarely hurt a long hold.

This market is turning. Which way is not settled yet. Check the monthly numbers above before you commit.

What numbers should you underwrite a Noblesville deal with?

• Price growth to assume — +6.6%/yr. 1 year: +6.2% · 5 years: +6.6% · ten years: +6.9%. The five-year and ten-year rates agree. That is a durable trend, not a boom artifact. It is a fair long-run input. Measure growth per square foot. Noblesville median list price grew 3.5% a year, but price per square foot grew 6.9%. The gap is smaller homes, not weaker growth. The house you buy will not shrink. The one-year rate is a timing signal. It is not an underwriting input.
• Months of carrying cost — 2. A typical home takes 43 days to sell. Budget that long when you exit or refinance. It is 33% slower than a year ago.
• Odds you cut your price to sell — 1 in 4. About 23% of homes on the Noblesville market right now have already cut their asking price. Assume you are one of them when you sell. Do not underwrite an exit at your asking price.
• Comp on this, not median price — $186/sqft. The typical Noblesville listing shrank from 3,149 to 2,400 sqft since Jul 2016. So median price hides real growth: 93% per sqft versus 41% on the median. Comp on median price and you will overpay for small homes.
• Competition when you exit — +3%. The number of homes for sale barely moved in a year. Today's comps are a fair guide to your exit.
