Fishers Indiana is still a wonderful place and to purchase a home: Fishers was just voted in Money Magazine's top 100 best places to live in 2006. I believe a big part of the problem is that Fishers is a very desirable place to live and every builder in town has at least one development in the city. With all of these builders vying for buyers and offering crazy incentive to compete against each other, they have a strong impact on the Fishers Real Estate Market. Most builders are hurting for sales right now, land acquisition has slowed, and I believe the market will stabilize in the near future.
