Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026 - Jul 2026).
Merrillville’s rolling three-month snapshot shows a busy market with 214 active listings and 135 new listings coming on. Homes are moving quickly, with a median of just 20 days on market and roughly half going off-market within two weeks. Contract activity is solid, as 110 homes sold and 108 went under contract, even as pending sales are down compared with a year ago.
Pricing has been edging up over the past year, with the typical home value around $270,000, up about 6 percent year over year. At the same time, the median list price has dipped slightly from last year, suggesting sellers are being more measured in their initial pricing while buyers still bid strongly on well-priced homes.
Tight supply continues to shape conditions, with only 2.7 months of inventory, down notably from a year earlier and supporting a seller’s market designation. Nearly 29 percent of recent sales closed above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 100 percent, indicating buyers are often paying close to asking to secure a home. With homes selling faster than they did a year ago and fewer new listings entering the pipeline, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands Merrillville’s dynamics and can guide them through each step.

From the very beginning, she listened to what we were looking for, understood what was important to us, and was always there when we needed her.

“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”
