\u201cI would say our market is pretty neutral. It’s not a really heavy seller’s market. It’s not a heavy buyer’s market. I think it’s been pretty fair on both sides,\u201d says <\/span>Kyle Williams<\/span><\/a>, a top Indiana real estate agent who sells over 44% faster than average agents in his market.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an outline of the current real estate conditions in Indiana:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

As a seller in Indiana, one important metric to watch is the <\/span>days on market<\/span><\/a> (DOM), which indicates the average time from listing to receiving a signed <\/span>purchase agreement<\/span><\/a>. In Indiana, the average DOM is 13 days, as of April 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBuyers are taking a little bit more time, maybe looking at a house a couple of times before making a decision, and sellers have to prepare more than ever to get their house ready for sale,\u201d Williams says.<\/span><\/p>\n
