Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026).
Inventory in Bartholomew County is building modestly, with about 294 active listings, up from last month and slightly above last year. Homes sold jumped sharply month over month, with 120 closings in May and an 8 percent increase compared with a year ago. Pending sales are also up more than 11 percent year over year, signaling steady contract activity even as they dipped slightly from April.
Pricing shows a mixed but generally firm pattern as buyers work through this supply. The typical home value is roughly in line with the statewide figure, and is down just over 1 percent from last year even as the median list price climbed more than 13 percent year over year.
Homes are moving relatively quickly, spending a median of 18 days on the market in May, which is shorter than in recent months but still longer than last year’s unusually fast pace. With only 1.4 months of supply, Bartholomew County is tighter than Indiana as a whole, which sits at about 2.5 months, and the market is classified as a seller’s market. Sellers are still getting strong results, with an average sale-to-list ratio just over 98 percent, though only about 17 percent of sales close above asking price. Whether you are a buyer trying to navigate low inventory or a seller aiming to price strategically, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local agent who understands these trends.

“We've now worked with Rachel multiple times—she helped us sell a home in the past and recently purchase an investment property—and I truly can't recommend her enough. Rachel is incredibly responsive, works fast, and consistently goes above and beyond for her clients. Real estate transactions can be stressful, but she makes the entire process feel seamless by staying on top of every detail and keeping communication clear every step of the way. What I appreciate most is that she genuinely cares. She advocates for her clients, is proactive instead of reactive, and always makes you feel like you're her top priority. Whether you're buying your first home, selling, or investing in real estate, Rachel is the kind of realtor you want in your corner. We will absolutely continue using her for future transactions.”

“I was really happy with Brandi Oaks, for being in a situation of losing my mom in February and I was selling her house since it was left to me I was told about Brandi met with her went over everything very efficient. Very nice person to work with and she knew what she was doing. She helped me in many ways I felt so comfortable around her working with her getting things done how to do it and that was very helpful because I didn't know nothing about selling a house. I bought one but never sold one all in all Brandi can sell a house of mine anytime but I live out of state, but I definitely would recommend her to anybody. Want to sell a house because Brandi is really good. I was very very pleased. Thank you!!!”

“Scott was great, super knowledgeable and worked diligently to help us get the home we wanted. We're first time homebuyers and he went above and beyond to make sure everything went smooth. He also gave me lots of contacts for home repair and service. I look forward to working with Scott again when it comes time to sell. I strongly recommend Scott to anyone looking to buy a home!!!”

“Cindy and Michael Stockhaus are, by far, the best realtors I've dealt with. Aside from their professionalism, their communication, their availability, their patience, and their overall knowledge, they are people with heart. This wasn't an easy sale, for any of us, but they maintained professionalism and absolutely seemed to care about me and what I was going through in this process of selling my dad's home. Thank you for the recommendation!”
