The housing market in Central Indiana for September 2024 shows a mixed yet steady landscape compared to the same period last year. According to data from MIBOR BLC®, the median sales price remained unchanged at $300,000, reflecting stability in home values across the region. While this price point held steady year-over-year, it did show a slight decline from August, signaling a brief pause in upward trends observed earlier in the year.

Sales Activity and Inventory Shifts

Closed sales saw a modest uptick compared to September 2023, indicating continued buyer interest despite market fluctuations. New listings, however, experienced a small dip, suggesting that fewer homes were being put on the market as sellers may be taking a more cautious approach. This decrease in new inventory, paired with relatively steady prices, points to a market where demand is still robust but options for buyers are slightly more limited.

County-by-County Breakdown

In a closer look at county data, many areas in Central Indiana saw notable shifts:

• Hamilton County continues to lead with a median sales price of just over $460,000, reflecting strong demand in this suburban region. However, the number of closed sales dipped slightly, while active inventory grew, offering potential buyers more choices.
• Boone County has also shown resilience with a median price of $400,000. While inventory decreased year-over-year, the county still enjoys a relatively fast-paced market, with homes spending just over two weeks on the market on average.
• Brown County saw one of the largest year-over-year increases in median sales price, reflecting a significant upward shift in home values, especially in more rural or scenic areas.
• Johnson County remains a hot spot with a median sales price of around $310,000. Despite some fluctuation in active listings and days on market, this county continues to see strong buyer activity.

What’s Ahead for the Market?

According to MIBOR CEO Shelley Specchio, favorable mortgage rates have fueled buyer interest since the start of the summer, with the market showing signs of resilience. However, recent economic reports suggest continued unpredictability in the months ahead. As mortgage rates adjust based on broader economic factors, potential buyers and sellers will need to remain agile.

The market's path toward more favorable conditions remains in flux, but with inventory slowly increasing and demand holding steady, the outlook for Central Indiana real estate remains cautiously optimistic as we approach the end of 2024.

Bartholomew County

In Bartholomew County, the median sales price has dipped to $254,900, marking a notable decline of 8.6% from last month and 9.3% from last year. This drop in prices might suggest a cooling market, but it's worth noting that the number of units sold has increased significantly by 33.7% compared to the previous month. This rise in sales could indicate that despite lower prices, buyers are actively seizing opportunities. The inventory levels remain stable with 157 active listings, while new listings have slightly decreased, down 8.9% from the prior month.

Boone County

Boone County is seeing a more complex picture. The median sales price of $394,000 represents a decrease of 7.3% from last month, though it’s only a slight drop of 2.5% year-over-year. The number of units sold has seen a 6.8% increase from last month, which might suggest that despite falling prices, the market remains dynamic and active. However, with new listings falling by 12.6%, the active inventory of 157 homes has slightly decreased. The consistent median days on market of 13 days may indicate that well-priced homes are still attracting buyers relatively quickly.

Brown County

Brown County is experiencing a significant drop in median sales prices, down 13.9% to $309,999. Despite this, units sold have increased by 21.1%, showing a positive trend in sales activity. The rising inventory levels, up 16.1%, might be contributing to this price reduction, providing buyers with more choices. The median days on market have decreased substantially, suggesting a faster-moving market despite the drop in prices.

Decatur County

Decatur County presents a different scenario with a dramatic 20.2% drop in median sales price to $210,000. However, the number of units sold has increased by 31.6%, which could indicate that lower prices are driving higher sales volumes. Inventory levels are down slightly, and with a decrease in new listings, the market might be adjusting to these price changes. The reduced median days on market to 11 days shows that homes are selling quicker in this lower-price bracket.

Hamilton County

Hamilton County’s market shows resilience with a median sales price of $464,950, up 3.0% from last month. The number of units sold has decreased slightly by 1.3%, but the increase in active inventory and new listings suggests a more balanced market. The median days on market have increased significantly to 11 days, which could be a sign that higher-priced homes are taking a bit longer to sell, possibly due to the higher inventory levels.

Hancock County

Hancock County is seeing a modest increase in median sales price to $326,750, up 1.3% from last month. Sales activity is strong with a 31.0% increase in units sold, indicating a vibrant market. Despite a slight decrease in new listings, the median days on market is stable, suggesting a healthy demand for homes in this area.

Hendricks County

In Hendricks County, the median sales price has remained relatively stable at $349,240, with a slight 0.2% decrease from last month. Sales have slightly decreased by 7.6%, yet the inventory remains manageable with a slight decrease in new listings. The increase in median days on market indicates that while homes are still selling, they may be taking a bit longer to find the right buyer.

Jackson County has experienced a 4.3% drop in median sales price to $225,000. Despite this, sales activity has increased by 7.9%, and the median days on market have decreased significantly. This suggests that lower prices might be stimulating buyer interest and quicker sales.

Jennings County

Jennings County’s median sales price has remained steady at $212,000, with no change from the previous month. However, the number of units sold has decreased, suggesting a potential softening in demand. The increase in active inventory and median days on market might indicate a shift toward a more buyer-friendly market.

Johnson County

Johnson County’s market shows a decrease in median sales price to $307,998, down 9.4% from last month. Despite this, sales activity remains strong with a decrease in median days on market, indicating that homes are still selling relatively quickly. New listings have slightly increased, suggesting a steady flow of new properties coming onto the market.

Madison County

Madison County is experiencing a strong market with a 36.4% increase in median sales price to $225,000. The number of units sold has also increased significantly, suggesting high buyer demand. The stable median days on market indicates that homes are selling at a consistent pace despite the rising prices.

Marion County

Marion County’s median sales price is $259,000, showing a slight decrease from last month but an increase from last year. The large number of units sold and the increase in active inventory suggest a robust and active market. The decrease in median days on market to 12 days indicates that homes are selling relatively quickly in this large and diverse market.

Montgomery County

Montgomery County shows a significant decrease in median sales price to $177,500, down 12.6%. Despite this, the number of units sold has increased, suggesting that lower prices are attracting more buyers. The decrease in median days on market indicates that homes are selling faster, likely due to the more attractive pricing.

Morgan County

Morgan County has seen a decrease in median sales price to $313,750, down 3.5%. However, sales activity remains strong, and the decrease in median days on market suggests a quick turnover for homes in this area. The increase in active inventory and new listings may offer more options for buyers.

Putnam County

In Putnam County, the median sales price has increased slightly to $259,000. However, the significant decrease in new listings and increase in active inventory suggest a market adjusting to changes. The longer median days on market may indicate that homes are taking a bit longer to sell.

Shelby County

Shelby County has seen an increase in median sales price to $272,500, with a 6.9% rise from last month. Despite a slight decrease in the number of units sold, the increase in median days on market suggests that while prices are rising, homes are taking longer to sell.

In our continued pursuit of excellence, we asked our September Top Producers who have seen it all, from challenging market seasons to heartwarming client stories. Let's delve into the insights of these remarkable agents as they answer our questions and share tips and stories on the valuable lessons they've learned in their many years as realtors and how they stay on top of their game.

 

"Always Be Available" 

In the fast-paced world of real estate, Dana Wright lives by one golden rule: always be available. She takes "time is money" quite seriously, responding to text messages in a blazing 90 seconds and emails within four hours. She even answers her phone like a superhero on caffeine because, in this business, missed calls are like missed lottery tickets. Dana believes in building relationships through constant interaction, proving to clients that they can count on her, and leaving a lasting impression that's hotter than a two-alarm fire.

 

Cate Waggoner-Lee's secret recipe for building strong and lasting client relationships goes beyond mere transactions. She takes the time to get to know her clients on a personal level, remembering their kids' names, their pets' names, and even their favorite vacation spots. Cate's philosophy? Treat your clients as friends, not just customers, and keep that connection alive by touching base with them regularly. It's not just about being a trusted professional but also being a true-blue buddy.

"Motivation Beyond the Paycheck"

For Jason Williamson, motivation isn't measured in paychecks but in the satisfaction of helping clients achieve their dreams. He'd take a pat on the back over a paycheck any day. Jason knows that real estate is all about advocating for your clients, especially when the going gets tough. For him, challenges are like golden tickets to make a real difference in people's lives. He's a real estate superhero, and his superpower is making dreams come true.

“A Real Estate Tale of Triumph: Preserving Dreams and Nature”

Rob Campbell shares a heartwarming story about a challenging property sale involving Dr. G. Despite initial resistance from the neighbors, a match was found with Johnson County Land Trust, ensuring the land's protection and preservation. Dr. G's dream of keeping the property in its natural state was fulfilled, and both the buyer and the seller were over the moon. This tale reminds us that real estate isn't just about deals; it's about bringing joy to all parties involved.

“Opportunity to Serve”

Cheryl Sizemore sums up her approach to real estate in a single word: "Opportunity." She emphasizes that real estate lets you assist people from all walks of life in various situations. From first-time homebuyers to empty nesters, real estate agents have the privilege of guiding individuals through one of life's most significant decisions. The diversity of experiences and backgrounds makes each day in real estate an adventure full of unique opportunities.

 

 "Treating Clients Like Employers"

Keith Turnbill breaks the myth that Realtors are self-employed. Instead, he treats each client as his employer, aiming for outstanding "performance reviews" from all of them. He sees client satisfaction as his promotion and ultimate success. By providing top-notch service, Keith ensures his clients return and refer friends and family, keeping the real estate party rolling.

"The Power of Follow-Up"

Josh Latham has some pearls of wisdom for his younger self: "Follow up, follow up, follow up!" He wishes he had been more diligent in maintaining thorough contact with past clients. In hindsight, he recognizes the importance of this practice and its impact on long-term success. Sometimes, we all need a little nudge in the right direction to reach the stars.

"Homegrown Expertise: Mukul's Beloved Avon/Plainfield"

Mukul Khanna's favorite playground is Avon/Plainfield on the west side of Indianapolis. He holds this area close to his heart because it's where he grew up, and he feels a deep connection to the place. It's not just about the properties; it's about the memories, the history, and the warm feeling of home that makes this neighborhood extra special for him.

Indianapolis has family-friendly suburbs, but a few repeat offenders stand out. Suburbs in Indianapolis, like Fishers, Zionsville, Carmel, and Greenwood, are ideal places to raise a family. Most suburbs of Indianapolis, Indiana, are huge, and not everyone wants shopping and movie theaters.

But which suburbs in Indianapolis are quieter, smaller, and still suitable for raising a family? Below are the family-friendly suburbs of Indianapolis, Indiana, which are great if you're searching for a rural lifestyle, a lakeside community, or developments with a little more room.

The Small Suburbs Of Indianapolis, Indiana

1. New Palestine

Indianapolis residents who wish to feel like they don't live in the suburbs will love New Palestine. This rustic, open area is called "New Pal" by locals. New Palestine is a great area to reside in an agricultural setting and increase your land.

Those seeking the county-adjacent front porch swing lifestyle must forego some conveniences. In New Pal, nothing is within walking distance. There's nothing within a few minutes' drive. Although New Palestine has limited conveniences, you can get what you need. The town has grocery stores, clinics, and other necessities, but you must go to a larger city for comprehensive shopping.

New Palestine has an excellent school system. Though small, these schools are good. Many Hancock County students attend New Palestine High School even though they don't reside there. New Palestine is a safe, family-friendly suburb that appreciates the simple things in life.

2. Bargersville

Population growth in Bargersville. As far south as the Indy Metro Area can go, this family-friendly suburb of Indianapolis is. Bargersville is farther south than Greenwood but still has much to offer: good schools, lovely residences, and exciting things to do almost year-round.

Outdoor lovers love Bargersville. South of the Mighty Ohio River on Indiana's southern border, undulating hills and lush forests replace central Indiana's plains. A nature lover's paradise is the Hoosier National Forest and Brown County State Park south of Bargersville. Bargersville, Indiana, feels like the woods with fishing, camping, hiking, and great mountain biking trails.

3. Pittsboro

West of Brownsburg, IN, Pittsboro is a lovely suburb of Indianapolis. Pittsboro is smaller than Bargersville or New Palestine but has 3,500 residents. Residents in Pittsboro enjoy a quieter lifestyle yet have all the facilities of Brownsburg, one of Indianapolis' largest suburbs. Although rural and open, Pittsboro is adjacent to Eagle Creek State Park, making it a good compromise between New Palestine and Bargersville.

Choosing public education in Pittsboro means sending your kids to Brownsburg High School. Although vast, this school's evaluations speak for themselves. Brownsburg High School is an excellent choice for your kids, with many activities, athletics, and organizations.

4. McCordsville

McCordsville and Fishers are often mistaken as the same, but it's not since it's smaller and quieter. 

Being close to Fisher allows McCordsville to have suburban and rural vibes while being one of the fastest-growing in the Indy Metro location.

The Geist Reservoir is a significant benefit of this modest, family-friendly community. One of Central Indiana's most prominent attractions, this stunning water feature has over 1,900 acres of water. Residents near the reservoir enjoy fishing, boating, swimming, and aqua fun, letting them enjoy lake life. This location explodes in summer, so be prepared to welcome a more significant population if you move here.

5. Cicero

Cicero is a drive on the northern end of Indy if you work downtown or frequent the city. Despite being an overlooked suburb, its merits outweigh its cons.

Cicero has several fantastic school districts, depending on where you live. In most Indianapolis suburbs, public schools are well-ranked. It also offers a love of the outdoors in Cicero Red Ridge Park.

There's a busy scene in downtown Cicero. Recently, Cicero's newly revitalized downtown has become charming and none of the other little suburbs have a golf course like what they have. Although smaller than Indianapolis' suburbs, this area has a little of everything.
