Key Market Trends

  • Inventory levels are slowly rising, providing buyers with more options and reducing the frequency of multiple-offer scenarios.
  • Median home prices in the metro area are experiencing sustainable, low-single-digit year-over-year growth.
  • Days on market have trended upward, reflecting a cooling in buyer urgency as interest rates remain a primary factor in affordability.
  • Suburban markets like Carmel and Zionsville continue to command premium pricing due to high demand for top-rated school districts.
  • Rental demand remains steady, though the gap between renting and buying is narrowing as home price growth moderates.
Buyer's Tip

With inventory increasing, don't feel pressured to waive inspections or skip due diligence; take the time to negotiate repairs or closing cost credits, as sellers are becoming more willing to accommodate reasonable requests.

Seller's Tip

Pricing your home accurately based on recent neighborhood comps is critical; avoid overpricing, as buyers are increasingly price-sensitive and homes sitting on the market for too long are losing their competitive edge.
