Homes in the $200,000 –300,000 price point have the highest percentage of sales and are within a “neutral” market range for sales. Statistically, a neutral market does not favor either buyer or seller and while there were a few homes sold over asking price, most have reduced their price to sell. Still, we  have been seeing multiple offers on homes in this price range. In Carmel, the “under $400,000 price point is fairing well. You can see the huge increase in absorption rate as prices inch over the $400,000 price range.
