Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Year-over-year, Porter County’s typical home value has dipped slightly, even as prices across Indiana have risen. At the same time, the median list price in the county is up strongly from a year ago, suggesting sellers are aiming higher even as closed-sale values soften.
In the latest September snapshot, inventory sits at 786 active listings, down from last year but up modestly from August, and months of supply is a lean 2.8, underscoring a seller’s market. New listings jumped month over month, while homes sold and pending sales held flat from August but trailed last year, pointing to steady activity at a somewhat slower pace than the prior year.
Homes now spend a median of 40 days on market, which is faster than a year ago but noticeably slower than the peak summer speed seen in July. With only about 18 percent of sales closing above list price and an average sale-to-list ratio just under 100 percent, pricing is tight and negotiation still matters, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in connecting with a skilled local agent.

“Jeff was professional from beginning to end and really fought for my needs as a buyer. He put my interests first, was extremely knowledgeable, and walked me baby steps by baby step of buying a new home. When I had questions Jeff was there. When I need to talk to him with a question it was immediate or a quick response! I would trust Jeff with my next home if needed in a heartbeat.”

“I am a 55 year old business man that has purchased a number of primary and secondary residences. Of all of the realtors, Nicole was clearly the best. She was knowledgable and super responsive at all hours. In fact, I am not sure if she sleeps. Nicole helped me identify the exact right condo based on a number of requirements and then helped me to move quickly to lock it down. I would definitely work with Nicole again.”
