Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026).

Inventory in Jay County has expanded recently, with active listings up about 20 percent from last year and sitting at 49 homes in April. New listings more than doubled from March and are up more than a third year over year, while homes sold also increased compared with last year, signaling more movement through the market.

Contract activity shows a mixed picture, as pending sales dropped by roughly a third from March and are slightly below last year. At the same time, months of supply has risen to 2.8, modestly above both last year and the Indiana average of 2.6 months, suggesting buyers have a bit more choice even though conditions still lean toward sellers.

Pricing has been adjusting to these shifting conditions, with the typical home value down about 7 percent year over year, even as the median list price has climbed more than 20 percent. Homes are taking longer to sell, with median days on market jumping to 37, and the average sale-to-list ratio sits at about 92 percent with no sales closing above list in April. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these nuances in Jay County can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local real estate agent who understands the current dynamics.

“Shelley knows her stuff and is so helpful at explaining every step of the process. She gave sound advice and worked to get us internet at the house when there was a hiccup with the internet company. She called and got us set up with a temporary solution and petitioned for them to come earlier than they initially said. Additionally, she and Jim are just very kind people and a joy to work with. We can't recommend them enough.”

“Lisa is so kind and considerate. She is someone we always felt was on our side and cared about helping us find the right house. She is thourough and honest and has so many connections to other helpful people from inspectors to mortgage lenders. She has real opinions but also keeps things positive, which is so helpful when so many things are needed to be considered when buying a house. Lisa has helped us sell a house and now buy a house and I would strongly recommend her to everyone.”

“We got negative feedback on the color of the countertops (what's wrong with blue?!?). Based on that feedback, Laura Beatty created images of the countertops in a lovely, neutral color. Laura also created images of the in-law suite with furnishings. The images seemed quite helpful to the imagination-impaired. Laura was also quite helpful in walking us through the offer - counteroffer procedure and was great in helping us keep things in perspective during that time.”

“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!!!”

“There is not enough space to give Amy the credit she deserves. When we bought our first home, we had minimal communication with our prior realtor and so many questions and unknowns when starting the buying process again. Amy answered every call, text and random question with full transparency. When going to different houses, Amy never pressured to buy and would point out possible things to consider. Having her support and guidance throughout this buying/selling process was amazing and we are so grateful!”

“Amy had sold a previous home for me so when we began the early stages of just thinking about selling our current home Amy was our go-to. Amy guided us through the steps of getting our home ready to show, when to list and at what price point. Amy put in motion all the behind the scene things that make for a successful sale. Amy walked us through all the offers and negotiations making sure we understood and were comfortable in our decisions. Amy was right there with us from the beginning, when the for sale sign when into the yard. To the end, when the "Sold" sign when on top. I cannot say enough great things about Amy, from her quick responses to her knowledge in the real estate field, she is the best agent!”

“James was totally amazing. He was great to work with. He was respectful of the owners homes that we visited. He understood our needs and desires. We looked at many homes and he was always patient and thuroughly explained things. He worked with our daughter and son in law after we returned to Texas to continue the search. He stayed with them and us throughout the search. When we found the right house he provided insight in to how to craft the offer and used his market knowledge to help us determine the price to offer. That offer was accepted. He worked with us to arrange the various inspections. Those inspections were thurough and gave us confidence that the home was of good quality and in good shape. That was major as we were back home and had not seen the house. Jim maintained contact with us thru all the steps to get to closing. In conclusion, Jim is great at his job. He is personable, respectful, knowledgeable, easy to work with, communicates well, and get the job done.”
