The Monday Map - March 24, 2025

Indiana had its strongest week of new pending sales of the year, with 2,130 contracts compared to 1,988 last year. This growth was fueled by strong markets in the state's large metro areas. Five of the six largest metro areas had year-over-year growth in pendings last week.

Indianapolis MSA

Weekly pendings grew 12% compared to last year. Marion County had 13% growth, while most suburban counties had even stronger growth. In Hamilton County, pendings were up 19%, and in Hancock County they were up 36%.

Evansville MSA

The region's two largest counties had very strong pending growth: 48% in Vanderburgh and 32% in Warrick County.

Louisville MSA

Floyd County had 15% more new contracts last week than one year ago, while Clark County was up by 72%. Nearby, Harrison and Scott counties more than doubled last year's pending total.

Fort Wayne MSA

Allen County had 26% growth in pendings, while Huntington County grew by 24%.

South Bend MSA

New contracts in South Bend (St. Joseph County) grew by 29% last week (compared to the same week in 2024).

Chicago MSA (Indiana Portion)

Northwest Indiana is the only large region with a decline in weekly pendings, but that is driven by negative growth in Lake, the largest county. In Porter County, new contracts grew by 60% year-over-year.
