Vanderburgh County currently leans toward sellers, with a market gauge reading of 39 out of 100. Months of supply has climbed to 3.6, up sharply from earlier in the year, but still under the level that typically signals a clear buyers’ market. Homes spend a median of 18 days on the market, showing that well-priced properties still move quickly.
Home values and asking prices are sending mixed signals. The typical home value is down about 4 percent from a year ago, yet the median list price is up more than 14 percent year over year, indicating that sellers are testing higher price points even as closed prices soften. At the same time, just over 19 percent of recent sales closed above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio is about 98 percent, so buyers are still paying close to what sellers ask, but intense bidding wars are less common than earlier in the year.
Activity levels point to more options but slower turnover. Active listings are slightly higher than a year ago, and months of supply in Vanderburgh County now exceed the 2.9 months reported for Indiana overall, suggesting somewhat more inventory pressure locally. Yet homes sold have fallen more than 20 percent year over year and pending sales are down as well, signaling cooler demand.
