Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026 - Jul 2026).
Gary is currently tilted toward sellers, with the market gauge indicating a seller’s market at 22. Months of supply sit at 3.7 in this rolling three-month view, suggesting inventory is not especially tight but still favors sellers. At the same time, buyers have some leverage, as the average sale-to-list ratio is about 94.5% and only about 10% of homes are selling above list.
Home values have moved up sharply over the past year, with the typical home value rising more than 20% year over year in this rolling three-month period. Despite that rise, the median list price is slightly lower than a year ago, pointing to some restraint from sellers on asking prices. Market pace has shifted significantly, with median days on market jumping to 43 days and increasing strongly compared with last year, giving buyers more time to make decisions. Pending sales are modestly higher year over year, showing that demand is still present even as conditions soften a bit.
Supply and demand are finding a new balance as active listings are roughly flat year over year while new listings have fallen notably. Fewer homes are coming to market, yet months of supply have dropped compared with last year, reinforcing that sellers still hold an edge overall. Whether you are aiming to attract solid offers as a seller or secure value and negotiation room as a buyer, Agent Pronto can connect you with a Gary agent who understands these shifting dynamics.

“Moving from one house to another can be stressful. But a state to state move raises the stress to an even higher level. Nichole's personality had a calming effect which was very reassuring and helpful. Even when a major course correction needed to be made mid stream, Nichole adjusted beautifully. I'm so happy to finally be in my home and Nichole was right there be my side every step of the the way!”

“Kristen is even helpful!”
Century 21 Scheetz
“What we appreciated most about Sarah was her honesty. She never sugarcoated the process or told us only what we wanted to hear. Instead, she came prepared, did her research, offered thoughtful guidance, and helped us set realistic expectations from the start. At the same time, Sarah was reassuring, confident, and encouraging throughout the selling process. Listing a longtime home can feel intimidating, but she made us feel comfortable and supported every step of the way. She communicated proactively, answered our calls, responded to our texts, and never overwhelmed us. If you are looking for a straight shooter who combines honest guidance with excellent communication, Sarah is the right person to work with.”
Century 21 Scheetz
“Barketa is fantastic! She walked with us and pointed out things that maybe an issue. She was great at figuring out what met our needs. Barketa is straightforward and honest. We felt super comfortable when working with her. Barketa is a wonderful agent and if we have anything like this again, I would 100% work with her again. I would recommend her to anyone looking in the area”
