2023 Indianapolis Housing Market Forecast

While housing markets across the nation continue their post-2020 cooling, experts have high hopes for the Indianapolis housing market in the New Year. While home sales across the state of Indiana have declined 12% this past year, they have remained strong compared to national declines in home sales at more than 25% (Indiana Association of Realtors). Despite a limited inventory, higher interest rates, and fewer buyers entering the market in November 2022, Indiana is still a strong choice for investors in the New Year.

With a 7% increase in the median price of homes from last year, home values in Indiana are stable and even rising as experts anticipate a strong year for the Indianapolis housing market in 2023. While it’s still a seller’s market, with lower inventory meaning more competition, higher prices, and quicker sales, there is an expectation that inventory will increase to meet the demand in the coming year.

Another good sign for folks investing in Indianapolis real estate is the appreciation we’ve seen over the last few years. During the last twelve months, Indianapolis’ real estate appreciation rate was 15.86% (NeighborhoodScout). More good news, Zillow predicts home values in Indianapolis will continue to rise as much as 2% this year.
