INSIDER INTEL | 📊 May 2026 Market Update

The spring market remained active across Central Indiana, with home values continuing to rise in many of our most sought-after communities—even as homes are taking a little longer to sell than they did last year.

🔑 What does this mean?
While homes are generally taking longer to sell than they did during the ultra-fast market of 2025, inventory remains historically low across most communities. Well-priced homes continue to attract strong interest, and rising values are creating opportunities for homeowners considering a move.

Thinking about buying or selling this year? Call Sue to understand what these trends mean for your neighborhood.
