“The increase in home sales during the second quarter of 2013 is due in part to low interest rates, pent up demand and consumer confidence,” said RE/MAX Ability Plus Broker Cathy Epps. “Steady interest rates between 4.5 and 5 percent, coupled with an increase in new home sales, makes for a great time to buy in Central Indiana. We’re never going to see another market like the one we have now.”
