Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026 - Jun 2026).
Inventory in Merrillville has tightened over the past year, with active listings in the latest rolling three-month period down slightly compared to a year ago. Months of supply has fallen to around just over two months, a drop of about one-third year over year, reinforcing a seller’s market. Even with leaner supply, contract activity is steady, as pending sales are up modestly from last year while closed sales have eased.
Pricing has been relatively stable in this rolling three-month view. The typical home value is nearly unchanged year over year, edging up only slightly, while the median list price has risen a bit more, indicating sellers are testing higher asking prices than last summer. At the same time, the share of homes selling above list has dipped compared to a year ago, and the average sale-to-list ratio has inched down, suggesting buyers have a bit more room to negotiate than in prior years.
Homes are still moving at a solid pace, with the median days on market now under a month, noticeably faster than last summer’s timeline. New listings have increased year over year, giving buyers a few more options even as overall supply stays tight. These mixed signals mean conditions can feel different from one price range or neighborhood to another, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto helping them connect with a Merrillville agent who understands the latest trends.

“I need to give a huge shoutout to Zach! I was pretty overwhelmed initially as this was my first time purchasing a home. When I was stressed and had a million questions, Zach was patient with me and promptly replied to my all my texts/phone calls and was patient with me throughout the entire process. He really went above and beyond to make me comfortable and make the process of purchasing a home smooth. If you are looking for a realtor in your area, Zach is your guy!”

“Jeff helped us through the entire process and answered any questions we had. He also recommended a different lender and payment plan that would save us money and an opportunity to use our resources at a later date which is as very helpful. He very quickly knew what we were going for and when showing houses, was very honest about it seeming like it's going to be a good fit or not.”
Century 21 Bradley
“This entire process was stress-free and joyful. That was largely, if not completely, due to Lisa being so amazing and so accessible every step of the way. She was incredibly knowledgeable, she gave us valued opinions on homes, and she just made it so fun to go through the whole process. It truly took all the stress out of finding a home and going through the entire process of buying a home.”

“We couldn't have asked for a better realtor. From listing our home to finding our next one, Rebekah Sims was with us every step of the way. Her communication was exceptional—we always knew what was happening and what to expect next. She marketed our home beautifully, was incredibly kind and easy to work with, and worked tirelessly on our behalf. Her dedication and professionalism gave us confidence throughout the entire process. We are so grateful for everything she did and would recommend her without hesitation.”

“Sarah was great to work with throughout the entire process of buying our home. She cared about helping us find the right home and her knowledge of the Broad Ripple market was amazing. She knew what to look out for and pointed out things we would’ve never noticed, and she also made sure we were thorough with the inspection process. We always felt like she was looking out for us! Sarah was also always willing to answer our many questions. Buying a home can definitely be overwhelming, especially as first time home owners, but she made the whole process feel so much less stressful. Beth also really helped us throughout the process of being under contract/closing and made sure we met all of our deadlines, she was fantastic! We absolutely adore our new home and are so thankful for everything Sarah did to help us get here. We couldn't recommend her more highly to anyone looking for a realtor!”

“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.”

“Michele was wonderful to work with. She is attentive, kind, patient, and knowledgeable. She not only got us into a home we absolutely love by making hard negotiations along the way, but also sold our old home in less than 2 days. We would ask her to be our agent over and over again.”

“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!”

She is knowledgeable regarding the marketing and pricing of homes in our area, is trustworthy and willing to work with us while listening to our needs, and is a lot of fun to be around.

We would definitely recommend Barketa to family and friends and really enjoyed going through this process with her! Thank you Barketa!!🩷 You ROCK!!”

“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”
Century 21 Circle
“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.”

“Robert's expertise and real estate experience was valuable during the process of selling the home. He efficient, yet purposeful communication was greatly appreciated!”

“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!”
Century 21 Elite
“Nicole was a great help in purchasing our new home. She worked with us closely, was always available for showings, was a part of our house inspection and final walkthrough to ensure everything was covered. She gave us great advice and we got a great place to live. I will definitely call on Nicole for our next sale or purchase!”
