“We typically see the market cool slightly as winter approaches, but central Indiana’s residential real estate market continued to be active during October,” said Jim Litten, CEO of F.C. Tucker Company. “While many areas of the U.S. are seeing home sales slow significantly, central Indiana homes are spending only 16 days on the market. Plus, buyers continue to benefit from increased inventory and stable prices.”

Of the pended home sales in the region last month, eight were priced $2,000,000 or higher; 57 were priced $1,000,000 to $1,999,999; 375 were priced $500,000 to $999,999; 934 were priced $300,000 to $499,999; 806 were priced $200,000 to $299,999; 478 were priced $100,000 to $199,999; and 90 were priced at $99,999 or less.

Editor’s Notes: 

• All statistics were compiled by F.C. Tucker Company from a report drawn from BLC® statistics on         October 8, 2024. Because of delayed processing through other agencies or boards, these numbers are subject to change.

• Effective April 7, 2019, data from MIBOR only reports on single family homes and excludes condo sales. F.C. Tucker will continue to include condo sales in this report.

•  “Pending” means the sales contract has been signed, but the transaction has not closed. According to the NAR, pending sales typically are finalized within a month or two of signing.

•  “Active Listings – Inventory” is a snapshot frozen in time at the end of the stated month. Per MIBOR, effective April 1, 2018, “Active with Contingency” no longer is a status in the BLC® listing service in order to present a true picture in advertising and marketing. Those listings that were in the “Active with Contingency” status have been moved from the “Active” status to the “Pending” status.

• For this report, F.C. Tucker tracks the following counties: Bartholomew, Boone, Brown, Decatur, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Jackson, Jennings, Johnson, Madison, Marion, Montgomery, Morgan, Putnam and Shelby. The first report tracking Jackson County data was pulled August 7, 2019.
