Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Wells County real estate market. *
August 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Aug 2026).
Inventory in Wells County has been expanding, with active listings up nearly 20 percent month over month and close to 8 percent over last year. At the same time, contract activity is lively, as pending sales jumped 60 percent from July and more than 21 percent year over year, even though closed sales are down more than 22 percent compared with last August.
Pricing is adjusting to this shifting flow, with the typical home value almost flat year over year but down sharply from July, while the median list price is still running about 15 percent higher than a year ago. With the average sale-to-list ratio now at 99 percent and only about 20 percent of homes selling above asking, sellers appear to be pricing more realistically as buyers gain a bit more leverage.
Conditions still lean toward sellers, reflected in just 2.1 months of supply compared with 2.8 months statewide, even after a roughly 58 percent year-over-year rise in local inventory. Homes are taking a median of 29 days to go under contract, similar to last year but noticeably faster than in July, and about 60 percent are off the market within two weeks. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these evolving trends can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with an experienced local agent who understands the Wells County market.

“Jeff was extremely helpful when purchasing our home. He communicated with us and was able to get us in for showings of the homes within a very timely manner. Jeff was always very upbeat and understood what we were looking for when purchasing a home. Jeff was accessible when we had questions, all we had to do was call or text him and he would always get back with us. Working with Jeff has made purchasing a home less stressful and much easier!”
“Great working with Dennis!!”
“This is the second property that we've sold with Rebekah in the previous year. As with our first experience, we truly have no notes for what Rebekah could have done better. In both instances she provided an action plan for items that were and weren't worth addressing prior to listing and in both cases her initial estimate is exactly what the property sold for, with little to no friction throughout the process. You won't find a better realtor and we will continue to work with her for all future endeavors.”
“I had a great experience working with my real estate agent to sell my home. He made the entire process so much easier and was always there whenever I had questions or needed help.

Selling a home can be stressful, but having someone you trust guiding you through it makes such a difference. I really appreciated everything he did for me and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”
