Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Blackford County real estate market. *
September 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Blackford County is currently tilted toward sellers, with the market gauge indicating a seller’s market despite signs of softening. Inventory has grown to 4.4 months of supply, up sharply from a year ago and notably higher than Indiana’s 2.9 months, which gives buyers somewhat more leverage than in the recent past.
Prices are moving in a mixed direction, with the typical home value around $114,700 and the median list price up slightly year over year. At the same time, the average sale-to-list ratio has slipped to about 90 percent and no recent sales closed above list price, showing buyers are often negotiating discounts.
Activity has cooled compared with last year, as homes sold are down more than 20 percent and new listings have fallen by over 40 percent year over year. Yet pending sales are up double digits from a year ago and homes are spending a median of 37 days on the market, longer than last year but shorter than the prior month, signaling steady interest from serious buyers. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting conditions can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who understands the Blackford County market.

“From the very beginning of making him self very available to look at listings with us before we even decided to go with him and giving him a 15 minute heads up through the ups and downs of houses he had our backs and accomadated us how ever we needed!”
“Tyler was such a delight to work with. He absolutely listened to all of my concerns and needs when looking for a home. Tyler was easy to communicate with and always available for answering my questions. His professionalism outshines any other agent I have ever known. Tyler always kept me up-to-date with any and all progression during my home buying experience. I couldn't have asked for anyone better because I don't think someone out there exists. Thank you Tyler!”
“Tyler did a great job for us. He went over and above to help us. We are overseas and he was very responsive despite the 13 hour time difference. We would highly recommend him to our friends. He worked very hard to get us the property we wanted.”
“Warren Barnes is the real deal. He listed our home in Tanbark Trails on a Friday, and we were under contract by Monday — three days. It sold for over our asking price. That outcome was no accident. Warren came in with a sharp pricing strategy, professional marketing, and a deep understanding of the Fort Wayne market. He knew exactly how to position our home so the right buyers showed up ready to make a strong offer. What made the experience even better was how Warren treated us. He answered every call and text quickly, explained every step clearly, and never made us feel rushed or pressured. Selling a home can be stressful, but Warren took that weight off our shoulders. If you are thinking about selling in Fort Wayne, stop scrolling and call Warren. We are so thankful we found him, and you will be too.”
“Scott did a wonderful job selling our home for the price we were hoping to get. He was very patient showing us a variety of properties. When we finally found the right one, he was able to negotiate a great price for us. Highly recommended!”
“David always went out of his way to satisfy all my questions and concerns. He also always made sure I was getting the most out of buying and selling and I really appreciated that. We shot for the moon and I got exactly what I was looking for. This was a verily nice transition and he made it very easy.”
“Brad has been great through the whole house buying experience. He never made us feel like we were disrupting him & we never felt rushed, even with our hundreds of questions. This was our first time buying a home & would highly recommend.”
“It is quite evident that Brandi Ott thoroughly enjoys being a real estate agent. She was very responsive, and immediately booked showings for properties I was interested in. She arrived early to every showing and greeted me with a smile. Her favorite question to ask was: "Do I like the property, or do I love it?" That demonstrated to me that she wanted for me to be truly happy with my new home. The offering, acceptance and closing process all went smoothly thanks to Brandi's attention to detail and follow through. I would highly recommend Brandi as a complete real estate professional.”
“Chad was so helpful and went that extra mile. He was extremely informative, knowledgeable, and professional. He made sure to taylor the experience specifically for my needs and wants. Having Chad as my realtor was such an incredible blessing. I'm so grateful for such a great experience.”
