Market Insights

Data-driven perspectives for the Indianapolis area

  • Median Sale Price: $272,000 – $285,000 (Indianapolis Metro).
  • Inventory Level: 2.6 – 3.0 Months — A significant 20–30% increase from last year, giving buyers more options.
  • Average Days on Market: 35 – 45 Days — The market has slowed from the “sprint” of previous years to a more strategic pace.
  • Sale-to-List Ratio: ~98% — Indicates that “normal” negotiations have returned.
  • The “Great Housing Reset”: 2026 is seeing a return to balance. We are seeing more seller concessions (like mortgage rate buydowns and closing cost credits) than we have in years.
  • Suburban Strength: Areas like Carmel ($444k median) and Fishers ($445k median) remain competitive but are seeing inventory growth of nearly 85% year-over-year, providing excellent opportunities for move-up buyers.
  • Sustainable Growth: Prices are no longer spiking by double digits; expect a healthy 2–4% appreciation this year, protecting your long-term equity without the “bubble” risk.
  • Investment Opportunity: With rental rates up 3.4% annually, the “cost gap” between renting and owning in Indy is narrowing, making 2026 a strategic entry point for first-time owners.
