Source: Indiana sales disclosure records, arm's-length 1-3 family sales, 12 months to June 30, 2026. Data through June 30, 2026. What counts: Sales of one 1-3 family house (one parcel on one form) that look arm's length and that the county assessor marked valid for trending. Left out: sheriff and tax sales, short sales, auctions, quitclaims, land contracts, court-ordered and family transfers, bundles of several houses, and prices under $10,000. The state file runs months behind: the newest sale in it is June 30, 2026, and forms for the latest months are still being posted, so the latest window may be missing some sales.
What the median means for your house
A median is the middle price: half the houses that sold in 46218 went for less and half for more. That mix includes freshly rehabbed houses and houses that sold needing work, so $115,950 is not the value of your house. Yours could sell well above it or well below it.
- Condition matters most. A house that needs a roof, a furnace or a new kitchen can sell for far below the median, and a fully updated one for well above it.
- Your block matters. Two houses a few streets apart can sell for very different prices.
- The best guide is a handful of similar houses near yours that sold recently in similar shape. We pull those for every written offer. A licensed agent can do the same, for free, if you are thinking about listing.
- The numbers run a few months behind. The state posts these records in batches, so the latest months may be missing some sales.
