“We worked with Jeff for about 6 months trying to find the perfect home for our family, and we couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. He was great to work with from start to finish, always answering our questions and addressing any concerns we had. Whenever we asked for his opinion or feedback, he was honest, knowledgeable, and always had our best interests in mind. He was extremely patient throughout the entire process and never made us feel pressured to settle for something that wasn’t right for us. He went above and beyond to make what can be a stressful process as smooth and enjoyable as possible. We truly appreciate all the time, effort, and dedication he put into helping our family find the right home. I would highly recommend Jeff to anyone looking to buy a home. If you want a realtor who is responsive, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about his clients, definitely give him a call!”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Aug 2026).
Year-over-year, Porter County home values and asking prices have edged higher while listing activity has pulled back. The typical home value is up compared with last August and the median list price has risen a bit faster, even as active listings are down double digits and new listings have dropped by nearly a quarter over the same period.
In the latest August 2026 snapshot, the median sale price sits around $358,000 with a median list price near $365,000, and homes are selling for about 98 percent of asking on average. Conditions still lean toward sellers with just 2.6 months of supply, compared with 2.8 months across Indiana as a whole, even though sales, pending contracts, and new listings have all fallen from July.
Homes are taking a bit longer to go under contract than earlier in the summer, with median days on market rising from 21 in July to 33 in August, but about one-third of properties still go off the market within two weeks and nearly 23 percent sell above the list price. With fewer options available than a year ago and pricing still firm, both buyers and sellers in Porter County can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an experienced local real estate agent to guide their next move.
