Indy Housing Market Update

Welcome again to another issue of the Indy Housing Market Update... where I briefly summarize the current trends of our local housing market, and provide a link to the latest home sale statistics from our local board, the Mid-Indiana Board of Realtors (MIBOR).

Hot Topics for the Month of August

Median sales prices grew more than 5% year-over-year and have now reached an all time high at nearly $200,000. This growth rate is opposite to what we are seeing nationally and undoubtedly being aided by the recent decline in mortgage rates. These factors, along with low inventory, make for a highly competitive market even compared to what we are seeing nationally. As our market heats up, potential buyers and sellers should look to their REALTOR for guidance.

Year-over-Year data for June:

  • Median sales price increased 5.2% to $199,000
  • Average days on market decreased to 34
  • Current active listings increase to 5,731
