“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 (Jul 2026).
Year over year, St. Joseph County home values have dipped slightly, with the typical home value down about 4 percent in July 2026. Median list prices are also marginally lower than a year ago, while the number of active listings is up roughly 9 percent. Homes sold slipped nearly 5 percent over the same period, suggesting buyers have more options but are moving a bit more selectively.
Looking at the latest monthly snapshot, July’s typical home value was about $239,000, down almost 8 percent from June after a spring run-up. Even with that cooling, the county is still more affordable than Indiana overall, where the median sale price is higher and has risen year over year.
Inventory has continued to build, with active listings climbing to just over 1,070 and months of supply rising to about two, though conditions still favor sellers. Homes are selling quickly at a median of 15 days on market, and more than half are going under contract within two weeks, with roughly 36 percent selling above list price. Pending sales jumped nearly 10 percent from June and are up over 5 percent year over year, indicating steady demand despite softer prices. With St. Joseph County positioned as a seller’s market but showing more choices for buyers, Agent Pronto can help both buyers and sellers connect with a local agent who understands these shifting trends.
