Is Fishers a buyer's market or a seller's market? Veteran realtor Laura Turner of F.C. Tucker says it's a bit of both — and that Hamilton County is really three separate markets right now.Turner, one of the top-producing agents in the Indianapolis metro area, returns to the podcast to break down what's happening in local real estate: why higher-priced homes are flying while the $400K–$600K range faces stiff competition from new construction, how baby boomers staying put are fueling the inventory crunch, and what the new federal housing bill could mean for multi-family building.She also shares practical advice for today's buyers and sellers — from assumable mortgages and builder rate buy-downs to a savings strategy for first-time buyers facing a median price above $400,000 — plus her take on the overturned rental ordinances in Fishers and Carmel, and a 12-month forecast for the local market.Whether you're buying, selling, or just curious what your home is worth, this conversation is packed with local insight you won't find in national headlines.To reach Laura Turner: 317-363-0842 or talktolauraturner@gmail.com
