Prices Increase Year-Over-Year For 86th Consecutive Month

(INDIANAPOLIS, IN) – Indiana REALTORS® have closed the books on January, today releasing their summary of existing-home sales from the first month of 2019. Existing-homes include single-family, townhomes, condos, and co-ops.

January 2019 is the 86th month in a row to see a year-over-year price increase. Statewide, the median sales price of homes is $151,200, a 4.3 percent increase when compared to January 2018.

Robust employment and wage growth remain key to healthy housing markets, as well.”
