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.

“Rachel Patterson is in a class of her own!

She has a heart of gold and made the house sale process far more successful than I could have imagined!”
“He sold our Bloomington home in a tough 2026 market. He stayed on it from listing to closing, worked through every setback, and did not quit until the sale was done. Because of him, my wife and I were able to start the next chapter of our lives. If you are selling in the Indiana area, call Zach”
“Jeff was professional from beginning to end and really fought for my needs as a buyer. He put my interests first, was extremely knowledgeable, and walked me baby steps by baby step of buying a new home. When I had questions Jeff was there. When I need to talk to him with a question it was immediate or a quick response! I would trust Jeff with my next home if needed in a heartbeat.”
“Debra went above and beyond to help me through this process. I felt comfortable from the very beginning. Wonderful experience.”
“We couldn’t be more grateful to have had Brandi by our side for the purchase of our third home! I’ve known her since I was a child, so having someone I’ve trusted for so many years help us through such an important milestone made this experience even more special. She was patient, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right home for our growing family. She listened to what we wanted, answered every question, talked us through every concern, and made us feel supported and confident throughout the entire process. She truly cared about our family and wanted us to find a place where we could make lasting memories. We cannot recommend her enough!! Thank you so much, AGAIN, Brandi!!”
“Robert VanHook has been involved in three of our real estate transactons over the years. He is very knowledgeable and experienced. He has a handle on all the tools needed to get our home on the market and secure the best offers. His advise on what we could expect, as far as pricing and timing, were spot on. He was also a valuable source for repairmen. We have been very pleased with the outcomes of all three transactions and we highly recommend him.”
“I love to work with you on getting my new house!”
“Her knowledge,smile and personality are unmatched! She is truly great at what she does! I would recommend her to anyone”
“This was our second time working with Nicole and I would use her again. She is very knowledgeable of the area and very well connected. She responds quickly to our calls and spends the time needed to make sure everything goes well. Nicole is one of the very best realtors in the zionsville area, if not the best. I will be recommending her to all my family and friends.”
“I had the pleasure of working with Amy Gordon from Century 21 Elite during the purchase of my new home, and I honestly could not have asked for a better Realtor. From the very beginning, Amy was professional, responsive, patient, and genuinely committed to helping me find the right home—not simply getting a deal closed. My purchase had plenty of moving parts, including negotiations, inspections, repair concerns, amendments to the purchase agreement, and more than a few stressful moments along the way. Amy stayed on top of everything and helped keep the process moving forward. What I appreciated most was that I always felt like Amy was looking out for my interests. She was willing to answer questions, explain what was happening, communicate with the sellers and other parties involved, and help me work through each decision without ever making me feel pressured. I would absolutely recommend Amy Gordon to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you, Amy, for everything you did for me.”
“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.”
“Erica Dickey was amazing to work with. she is extremely patient, knowledgable, and professional. she truly cared about what was important to me when it came to selling and buying my home. she made this entire process feel much less stressful and was there every time i needed anything. i would highly recommend Erica to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home.”
“Shelley is excellent and will represent you well! Highly recommend!”
“Although our deal was super unconventional, I truly believe Nick did all that he could do for us during the entire process. I really appreciated his calmness when I wasn't so calm. It was nice to see someone understanding of our situation and pushing things forward when needed.”
“We just closed on a house with Century 21's Dan Mervar as our agent. Dan was knowledgeable and patient throughout the process. We would 100% recommend Dan! Thank you!”
“Patty, was professional, easy to work with and extremely knowledged in my area. We had several fall-throughs that were no fault of Patty's or mine but she got it done. I highly recommend Patty!”
“Tyler was such a delight to work with. He absolutely listened to all of my concerns and needs when looking for a home. Tyler was easy to communicate with and always available for answering my questions. His professionalism outshines any other agent I have ever known. Tyler always kept me up-to-date with any and all progression during my home buying experience. I couldn't have asked for anyone better because I don't think someone out there exists. Thank you Tyler!”
“Caring realtor, very patient”
