Are you waiting for the “perfect” time to move around Broad Ripple, Meridian-Kessler, or Irvington… and wondering if waiting is quietly costing you leverage? 🏡

Here’s the shift I’m watching.

As of July 2026, MIBOR reported a $300,000 median sales price in central Indiana, up 3.4% year over year.

Closed sales hit 2,901, up 17% year over year, which means buyers are still moving when the right home is priced right.

Buyer tip: if a home checks 80% of your boxes, ask about seller credits or inspection flexibility instead of assuming the price is untouchable.

Seller tip: don’t price off last spring’s hype; price against today’s active competition in your exact pocket, not the whole metro.

I’m seeing the most serious conversations happen in the first 72 hours after a smart listing hits.

DM me “timing” before your next showing or price change.

If you had to move in the next 90 days, would your bigger fear be overpaying, selling too low, or not finding the right next place?

Rates crossed 7% this week for the first time in over a year.
Here's what I'd actually do with that information.

Stop shopping for a rate and start shopping for terms. In a market with 10,000+ active homes and sellers watching the calendar, a rate buydown or closing credit is often sitting on the table. It just has to be asked for. That's negotiation, not luck.

If you're trying to decide whether this fall still works for you, I'm always happy to run your actual numbers. No pressure either way. 🏡

The housing market remains supported by a solid labor market and an economy that is growing at a healthy rate.

Are you worried buyers will see seasonal decor and miss the space your home actually offers? 🍂

A common seller myth is that more decorating makes a home feel more welcoming. In photos and showings, too many pumpkins, signs, throws, and tabletop pieces can make rooms read smaller.

Instead, choose a simple fall palette and use it in a few intentional places: a front-door accent, a light centerpiece, or a textured throw. Keep counters, paths, and key surfaces clear.

Would selling your Indianapolis home feel less stressful if you knew you didn’t automatically have to buy before you list?

One myth I hear often: “I have to find my next home first.” The better first move is understanding your likely sale proceeds, timing options, and what flexibility those create.

Before scrolling listings, have a seller net sheet prepared so you can make decisions from your numbers—not nerves. 🏡

Waiting for the "perfect" time to buy because the payment feels uncertain right now? 🏡

Here's the truth: nobody has every detail figured out before they start looking. That's not how it works. Clarity comes from actually sitting down and seeing what a real monthly payment looks like, what cash to close actually means for you, and which loan options fit your situation.

So talk to a lender first. Before you fall in love with a house that's outside your range. No guesswork, no pressure, just real numbers to search with.

What part of this process feels the most unclear to you right now?

you waiting for the "perfect" time to buy because today’s payment feels uncertain? 🏡

One myth I hear often: first-time buyers need to have every detail figured out before they start. In reality, clarity usually comes from learning what a comfortable monthly payment, cash to close, and loan options look like for you.

A practical first step: talk with a lender early on so you can search with real boundaries. No guesswork or pressure.

What part of home buying would you want to understand better?

Is your Broad Ripple or Fountain Square living room technically “big enough”… but you still worry buyers will say, “It just feels small”? 🛋️

In so many greater Indy homes, the issue isn’t square footage—it’s furniture placement. Sofas pushed against every wall, TV as the only focal point, and no clear walkway can quietly kill buyer interest, even in a hot market.

Try this instead:
• Float the sofa to create a defined conversation zone
• Use a smaller, round coffee table to open up traffic flow
• Angle chairs toward a feature (fireplace, big window) to create a "this is where we live" moment

I’m seeing staged homes in neighborhoods like Meridian-Kessler and Westfield’s Harmony move faster when the layout tells a story of how life actually works in the space.

If you walked into your own living room today as a buyer, would the furniture invite you in… or make you mentally subtract from your offer?
