Mitch Rolsky: Indianapolis REALTOR Ranks The Greater Indianapolis Top 25 Markets

When Comparing Days On Market (DOM) For Different Communities, Zip Codes, And Neighborhoods, The DOM Can, And Often Times Does, Indicate Different Levels Of Desirability:

High Demand = Faster Sales: If homes in one ZIP code sell much faster, it's often because more buyers are interested, suggesting higher demand and greater perceived desirability.
Perceived Value: Short DOM usually correlates with areas that offer better schools, safety, amenities, or commute times — qualities that make them more attractive.
Market Momentum: A shorter DOM often reflects a hotter market, where properties are competitively priced and buyers are eager to move quickly.

But Days On Market Alone Isn’t Fool Proof:

Several factors can distort what DOM actually tells you:

Factor		Impact
Overpricing		In less desirable areas, sellers may overprice homes, inflating DOM.

Investor Activity		In some “hot” areas, especially when interest rates are atypically low, high investor presence can reduce DOM artificially.


Home Price Range		The top 10-25% price point wise tends to stay on market longer regardless of desirability.


Inventory Levels		Small Sample Size Can Skew Averages A community with very low inventory might have shorter or longer DOM simply due to fewer sales, not less demand. Example: If 3 homes sold in a month and one took 90 days while the others took 15 days, the average DOM jumps to 40 days — even though most sold quickly. Inventory Bottleneck In high-demand, low-inventory areas, buyers might be waiting for the "right" property. If the few homes listed don’t match their needs (wrong layout, price, etc.), they sit longer, not because demand is weak, but because supply isn't a good fit. Pricing Mismatch In low-inventory markets, some sellers may test high prices, assuming demand will carry the sale. If they overshoot, the home sits — again increasing DOM. Timing Effects In tight markets, homes may enter and exit quickly, and what's left are the stale listings. So when you look at DOM, you're mostly seeing what hasn’t sold yet, which inflates the average DOM.

How to Use DOM Insightfully:

Compare DOM + Sale Price Trends: Desirable areas often show low DOM and rising prices.
Look at DOM by price tier: A long DOM in the $2M+ range might be normal in a great area.
Pair with list-to-sale price ratio: A low DOM and high % of asking price suggests strong demand.

Bottom Line:
Yes, large differences in DOM between ZIP codes can reflect greater or lesser desirability — still to be certain, any differences should be interpreted in context by Mitch as your REALTOR, alongside pricing trends, inventory, and local market conditions.

Conceptually, What Goes Into The Value Of A Property_{Click To} _{Read More}

If you're like most home sellers, you want to sell your home quickly and for the maximum amount of money. However real estate values are not like a ten-dollar bill that is worth $10 regardless of if it’s crisp and brand new, or if it’s twenty years old, dirty and torn. Neither the condition of the bill in your hand, the condition of other ten-dollar bills, nor the location of where you are holding the bill will change its value! If the value of real estate was also this precise and exact, just like the value of a dollar bill, then there would frankly be no need for real estate agents!

Accurately evaluating the value of a house, townhouse, or condominium is a complex calculation that leverages years of experience and expertise like Mitch has, as one of the Top REALTOR's in the Greater Indy area! So let's start at the very beginning - with the RIGHT price! And the best way to find the RIGHT price is to ask Mitch.

As A Seller... "I always felt relaxed and like his only client."

I always felt relaxed and like his only client. It is without hesitation that we recommend Mitch Rolsky as a real estate agent for both the buy and sell side.

We have worked with Mitch twice in the purchase of a downtown Indy home and then with the subsequent sale of the same house just over 2 years later. Mitch's guidance allowed us to purchase the home in a desirable location at a price level that was at the lower end of the market range at that time. During the sale of the home, Mitch paid no attention to what the home was sold for earlier but focused on what the market would bear. Mitch focused on selling the value of the home and the location as opposed to price. He knows the market extensively and set a selling price and sales strategy that worked perfectly in a softening seller's market.

We moved because of a career change which forced us to move away during the sales process. Mitch took care of everything from there....in essence, we left our entire belongings in the care of Mitch. Friendly, detailed, trustworthy, knowledgeable and professional are but a few of the attributes of Mitch. Thanks Mitch....

As A Buyer... "Purchasing Indy real estate virtually from California during covid, was not within my comfort zone."

Purchasing Indy real estate virtually from California during covid, was not within my comfort zone. I needed an agent to patiently show me things as though I was there myself, speak with blunt honesty and find balance between my "desire" list and a stable long term investment.

Mitch doesn't miss a beat! He is highly intelligent, engaged with his clients - stellar communicator with a wealth of wisdom not only through the home buying process, but in life. I always felt relaxed and like his only client, yet knew he was doing much hard work in the background.

I've heard in life that "your realtor is your best friend!" Best friends work for your best interest; he was always right there and always told it like it was....so appreciated!!! He exceeded all expectations and hope to work together again in the future!
