  • Noblesville homes remained on the market two days longer than this time last year, selling in 13 days on average.
  • Closed home sales decreased 4.3 percent compared to February 2024.

Throughout central Indiana, homes for sale continued to increase. Tucker found that:

  • Available housing inventory increased 17.9 percent compared to February 2024.
  • Homes spent eight days, or 38.1 percent, longer on the market than this time last year.
  • Pended home sales decreased 4.5 percent compared to this time last year.
  • Compared to February 2024, the median home sale price for the 16-county central Indiana region decreased 6.8 percent to $297,228.

“While the residential real estate market continues to be quieter in February, we’re encouraged by the continued rise in inventory which will help moderate price increases,” said Jim Litten, president of F.C. Tucker Company. “Mortgage rates have decreased slightly in the past month, and we expect that trend to continue, creating a more attractive market for buyers as we move into the spring and summer months.”
