“Michele Burkheimer was absolutely amazing in helping us find and purchase our dream home! 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. Buying a home can be stressful, but Michele made the entire process feel smooth and manageable. Her knowledge, attention to detail, responsiveness, and genuine care for her clients really set her apart. She worked hard to make sure we understood every step and helped us navigate the process with confidence. We couldn’t be happier with our new home, and we are so thankful that Michele was the one by our side to help us make it happen. If you’re looking for a realtor who truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond, we highly recommend Michele Burkheimer!”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026 - Jul 2026).
River Park’s rolling three-month data through July 2026 shows home values climbing much faster than the broader South Bend area, with the typical home value up nearly 22 percent year over year versus about 8 percent citywide. At the same time, listing activity has eased, as active listings are down around 7 percent and homes sold are slightly below last year’s pace.
In the most recent three-month window, conditions reflect a tight seller’s market, with just 0.7 months of supply compared with 1.9 months across South Bend. Homes are also moving more quickly than a year ago, with the median time on market now only 10 days for recent sales.
Pricing dynamics point to strong demand and limited room for negotiation, as nearly 47 percent of recent sales closed above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 100 percent. With this mix of rising values and low inventory, both buyers and sellers in River Park can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who knows how to navigate these conditions.
