“Jeff was a delight to work with! From start to finish, he was able to answer all my questions in a way that made sense to me. I felt like he became a part of the family. He was encouraging when the process looked grim. He went above and beyond to close the deal when I found the home of my dreams. I would recommend Jeff to anyone looking to buy a home!”
“easy to work wit, professional, knowledgable, responsive”
“Amy was beyond excellent. Always avaialble, good communicator, super helpful in setting up inspections and referrals, well connected. Worked hard to get the deal done.”
“We recently relocated from Indianapolis to the Michiana area and worked with Barketa Kearns as our realtor — she was fantastic! From day one, her deep knowledge of the area helped us understand the neighborhoods and what we could realistically afford. She was honest, thoughtful, and always respectful of our wishes, offering guidance without ever being pushy. Barketa was incredibly attentive to the details, even stepping in to do virtual tours when one of us couldn’t be there in person. And when she wasn’t available, she made sure other agents at Century 21 Circle stepped in to help — one of them even came to pick us up when our car broke down! That kind of care and flexibility made all the difference. Her professionalism, patience, and dedication turned what could’ve been a stressful move into a smooth and even enjoyable experience. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better partner in the process!”
“Sarah make sure all my needs were met while selling this house. I actually came back to her to sell my place as she originally was that I worked with to purchase this place and in doing so I had even a better time selling it for it was a bittersweet moment.”
“Stockton was so so patient with us during our house hunt. Bloomington is not an easy market to find something to fit your needs and budget, but Stockton never got frustrated with us and we were very picky. We just love Stockton so much!!!”
“I would trust Robert with any of my property sales. He is very professional. I have no complaints, he puts everything into making you feel comfortable. He is constantly updating you with the progress and goes out of his way to keep you informed. Top notch realtor in my opinion.”
“I moved from Virginia to Indiana and Cheryl was exactly what I needed to make the transition a smooth and comfortable one. She kept me apprised throughout the contract and purchasing process without prompting. This was crucial considering all that I needed to accomplish for my new job and with my family.”
“Lisa is an amazing realtor. She goes way above and beyond! She is very knowledgeable and I felt very fortunate to have gone through this experience with her. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Rebekah is such a caring and kind person and she brings that when working with he clients. I couldn't ask for a better partner and advocate in this process.”
“Nicole was amazing! She is knowledgable, friendly, and very helpful. She is an excellent problem-solver when challenges arose. She gave 110% on everything. She was the best real estate agent we have ever worked with. We have referred her to anyone we know in the market for a new home.”
“It's important to note that my family has been working with Kim for over a decade!! We LOVE her, and she just helped me buy back my childhood home, which she also sold for us over 10 years ago. This journey of selling my first home earlier this year, and buying my childhood home shortly thereafter has not only become an unforgettable experience, but an experience I couldn't have done without Kim by my side. She truly is the best of the best! I'm so happy my parents found her years ago, and have been working with her ever since. Now as an adult, I finally get the chance to say that working with her is seamless, fun, and this girl knows her stuff, so there's never any room for doubt. Thank you so much Kim, not only for being the best realtor, but also for basically being a part of our family!!”
“Michele Burkheimer was great, I feel very fortunate that she was my Realtor. Michele made the process go smoothly, kept me informed, educated me, and "went to bat for me", it was very good communication, she answered all my questions, help me to get things done right and on time, gave me good advices. Michele went above and beyond what, I think would be normally expected. I would certainly ask her to represent me when buying or selling real-estate and will highly recommend her to others.”
“Jim was referred to me by a family member who had a great experience working with him. I had high expectations before meeting Jim based off this, and he exceeded them throughout the house buying process. He was very thoughtful and communicative, which I appreciated as a first time home owner. He always made sure to point out things while touring the home and explained critical things to look for that I never considered. Jim was very flexible during the process and always made himself available to answer questions and update offers. He always put my wife and I first, and we never felt pressured while looking for a home. I would strongly recommend Jim to anyone looking for a home in Hamilton County.”
“Matt was great! Very friendly and open, super helpful.”
“Great experience, very streamlined process for negotiating and handling communication with the seller's realtor, the appraiser, the bank, etc.”
“Laura was awesome! She walked us through every step of the process to sell our house and was very knowledgeable and supportive. She was super responsive and made sure all our questions were answered and provided sound advice. Laura made the process painless and is the best realtor we've had! We would gladly work with her again and confidently recommend her services.”

“Dedicated and communicative agent. She worked very hard to get our property sold as timely as possible. We couldn't have asked for anything more and I believe her to be a valuable asset to her Century 21 team. Thank you Patty!”
“Rachel is amazing. Her communication and honest approach is very important when it comes to selling and buying homes. We love Rachel and will continue to use her if we sell and buy again .”

August’s finalized data reported the typical value of a home in the city to be $152,500—down 21.55% over the previous 12 months. For comparison, county-level data pegged home values at $199,500 in Washington County for the most recent reporting period. That number is expected to float around $191,520 in September.
Salem had 13 new listings and 5 listings that went under contract in August, increasing the area’s total available inventory to 31—up 3.33% from the previous month. Inventory is projected to have further increased in September.
Of those 31 active listings, 25.81% reduced their price in the month of August. The median listing price for homes in Salem grew 42.52% from July to August, bringing the current median listing price to $209,500. Based on projected data for September, listing prices may continue to grow.
The number of days that homes have been on the market prior to going under contract fell year-over-year. In August 2025, the median time for a listed property to go pending was 109 days, compared to 199 days in August 2024. In recent months the median number of days from listed to pending appears to be decreasing. That trend is predicted to have carried through to this September.
