Bidding on Foreclosures in Carmel

There were 79 closed foreclosures in Carmel in 2009 compared to 62 in 2008. I don’t think the increase is a surprise to anyone in the market of buying or selling a house. Between the unemployment rates and market inventory levels, there is no question that it was a tough year.

That said, Carmel had fewer foreclosures than both Fishers (113) and Noblesville (120). When bidding on foreclosures in Carmel, prospective buyers need to be ready to go with pre-approval / proof of funds letters and earnest money deposits. We found that many of the foreclosures we bid on for our clients in Carmel had multiple bidders. That said, if you are looking to buy a bank owned property, be sure to have your ducks in a row and be prepared to act. With inventory this low, they are sure to move quick.
