INDIANA REAL ESTATE IS VERY HEALTHY!

Statewide home sales had their biggest April since 2022 while more listings hit the market than any single month since June 2022 with mortgage rates running more than forty basis points below 2025 over the last six weeks.

April closed sales finished 3% ahead of 2025 at 7,106; new pending sales (8,591) were up 8% year-over-year.
Homes sold for a median of $274,400, 4% higher than April 2025 and representing 96.3% of original list price; the median price per square foot for existing homes has risen 3% over the last twelve months.

Sellers were eager to capitalize on positive price growth and equity gains last month with 10,798 new listings, 11% higher than 2025.

Year-to-date, more homes have come to market in 2026 than any year since 2019 with 33,030 new listings through April; total inventory was 14% higher than 2025 with 14,829 homes for sale on an average day last month.

Even with higher supply, homes went under contract in 15 days, closing the gap with 2025 (17 days from listing to pending last April).

Improved mortgage rates have also helped affordability: Even with the median sale price up 3% year-to-date, Indiana’s median monthly mortgage payment is lower than 2025 – buying power is keeping up with price appreciation.

REAL ESTATE MARKET UPDATE - Housing conditions remain favorable for buyers as inventory levels continue to improve over last year. Prices are generally trending lower, but we are seeing "micro-markets" where prices are very strong and multiple offers are still occurring. Even with the mortgage interest rate volatility, the market is offering more options and improved negotiating power this spring.

January Real Estate Market Report
In January, the median sales price for single-family homes in central Indiana was $300,000, an increase of 2% over last year but down 3.2% from December. In the MIBOR BLC® service area 11 out of 17 counties listed positive price changes in January compared to a year ago including Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks,
and Madison counties. The median sales price for condominiums was $219,000, down 2% from last year and down 4.8% from December.
“January closed sales fell 8.8% from last year, which was not unexpected after pending sales declined 6% year-over-year in December 2025,” says MIBOR CEO Shelley Specchio. “Unusually harsh winter weather likely added friction to the market, delaying or suppressing some closings. Importantly, however, new pending sales increased 8.2% year-over-year, suggesting momentum is beginning to rebuild.”

From Realtor.com:

Housing affordability is expected to take center stage in 2026, with President Donald Trump promising to announce "the most aggressive housing reform in history" early in the new year.

The crisis has strained the market for three years, pushing home sales to 30-year lows and driving the typical first-time buyer’s age to a record 40.

A new analysis finds that restoring 2019 affordability—when mortgage payments averaged 21% of median income, versus more than 30% today—would require one unlikely shift: mortgage rates falling to 2.65%, incomes rising 56% to $132,171, or home prices dropping 35% to $273,000. While none are expected in 2026, the data highlights how far the market remains from pre-pandemic affordability.

HOUSING NEWS FOR INDIANA
Indiana entered 2026 with one of the nation’s lowest unemployment rates and steady earnings growth adding to the momentum of improving mortgage rates.
With rates averaging 6.1% through January, more homeowners put their moving plans into action by putting their properties on the market: New January listings were 3% ahead of 2025 at 6,359.
But while home sales over the five weeks from December 29th through February 1st showed year-over-year growth on a weekly basis, the timing of the New Year’s holiday and winter weather disruptions depressed final monthly totals.
January closings (4,174) finished 5% below 2025; new pending sales (5,504) jumped 25% from December to January but were 1% behind last year.
New listings and pending sales above $350,000 saw stronger gains, suggesting that current homeowners-turned-repeat buyers continue to drive the market with historic equity – but there was also good news for potential first-time buyers in January...starting with the monthly median sale price.
The streak is over: Indiana’s median sale price ($250,000) unchanged from 2025.
- The state median sale price fell 5% from December to $250,000, the same as January 2025. This breaks a streak of 139 consecutive months of positive year-over-year price appreciation – May 2014 was the last time the state median sale price was the same or less than the previous year.
- More buying power in a more balanced market.
- Higher inventory continued to give buyers more options (and leverage): 15,448 homes were available for sale on an average day last month, 13% above 2025 – and the highest January supply since 2020.
- Sellers accepted 93.6% of their original list price, down from 94.6% in 2025, and properties took five days longer to go under contract (45 days).
- With steady sale pricing and rates about 80 basis points lower than last year, the monthly mortgage payment on a median-priced home finished well below January 2025.
- Overall affordability relative to income also improved – the median monthly house payment took less than 33% of Indiana’s average household income for the first time since April 2023.
The latest: Weekly endings rebound after the winter weather impacts ease.
After the winter storm affected portions of the previous two weeks, the week of February 2nd saw a rebound - however, the three-week trend (January 19 through February 8th is running about 7% behind 2025.

December 2025 Market Insights:

The real estate market continues its run of encouraging strengths, even amid the typical seasonal slowdown at year-end. In Central Indiana, median sales prices remain resilient — with late-2025 data showing figures near $310,000+ in the broader metro area and around $250,000 in Indianapolis proper, both reflecting solid year-over-year appreciation.

From 2018 to the present, the region has experienced notable growth. After pandemic-era acceleration, Central Indiana prices climbed significantly through 2020–2022, followed by more moderate gains as mortgage rates increased and inventory slowly normalized. Median price growth statewide from the early 2010s through 2024 was substantial, with nearly half of overall appreciation occurring between 2018 and 2022.

Nationally, median home prices also soared in the pandemic years — with the U.S. median above $400,000 in 2025 — before showing signs of flattening or modest growth as affordability pressures and higher borrowing costs weighed on demand.
The second graph offers a clear illustration of seasonal price slowing over the last eight years, a recurring pattern where winter months show a dip following stronger spring–summer price performance. Nonetheless, the broader multi-year trend underscores continued year-over-year appreciation, particularly in Central Indiana where relative affordability and persistent demand have helped sustain price levels compared with national markets.
