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

Home prices in Lake County have risen over the past year, with the typical home value up about 5 percent. Median list prices climbed even faster, increasing nearly 8 percent year over year. At the same time, inventory has tightened, with active listings down roughly 10 percent from last May.

In May 2026, the typical home value stood at about $284,000, while the median list price was just over $301,000. Lake County’s prices are now slightly above the Indiana state median of around $280,000, underscoring its relative strength within the state. Sellers are still seeing solid demand, with about 21 percent of homes closing above the asking price and the average sale-to-list ratio hovering near 98 percent.

Conditions point to a clear seller’s market, with only 2.4 months of supply, even though that has edged up compared with early spring. Homes are moving more quickly than earlier in the year, with the median days on market dropping from 45 days in March to just 25 days in May, and nearly 40 percent of properties are going under contract within two weeks. While the number of homes sold and new listings both slipped modestly versus last year, buyer activity remains steady with more than 600 pending sales in May. Buyers trying to compete and sellers looking to capitalize on current trends can both benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding the right local real estate agent.

“Finding a home/property can be a stressful journey, but having Debra Hull by our side was a game-changer. What truly stood out was how much Debra cared about our family's well-being and finding us the right property. Debra always took the time to listen to our needs (even when we were just having sidebar conversation), addressed every concern with patience, incredibly attentive to the little details we wanted in a home/property and responded to our texts and calls almost instantly, no matter the time. We never felt pressured; instead, she treated us with such care and compassion that it felt like we were working with a trusted friend. If you want a realtor who goes above and beyond, look no further!”

“None better!!! This was a long distance move so all transactions were between Patty and myself in Alaska. Without having to step foot in any of the properties, she helped my family members go through the homes under consideration and it was completly flawless on her part. Should I need another realtor she will be the one I trust and call. Thank you again Patty”

“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!”
