How hot is the Indianapolis housing market?

Based on recent data, the Indianapolis metro area has one of the hottest housing markets in the country right now. 58.7% of homes in the Indianapolis area in July 2023 were sold in two weeks or less.

The national average was about 41% of listings marked pending, contingent or sold within that window, so Indianapolis was hotter than average.

When comparing city-by-city data, Indianapolis homes sold at the third fastest pace in the country with only Cincinnati and Seattle outpacing the Hoosier City.

Statewide, homes in Indiana are averaging only nine days on market in August 2023. That’s actually a slightly slower pace than in June or July, but still near historic highs.
