We’ve reached the midpoint of 2025, and Indiana’s housing market is showing cautious signs of growth. Year-to-date home sales are up 1% statewide compared to the same time last year—small but meaningful progress after a sluggish 2024.
That modest increase reflects a truly even split: of Indiana’s 92 counties, 46 have posted positive growth so far this year, while 46 are in the red. But behind that balance is a wide range of outcomes. We take a look at the top growth counties and the state of the largest markets.
We filtered out the very smallest markets to highlight counties where growth is paired with market volume. These five counties each logged over 100 home sales through June, and each posted double-digit year-over-year gains:
| County | Sales YTD | YOY % | 5-Year Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scott | 143 | +25% | +27% |
| Daviess | 120 | +24% | +20% |
| Knox | 167 | +22% | +45% |
| Jasper | 144 | +21% | -11% |
| Hancock | 746 | +18% | +19% |
Knox County stands out as a long-term success story, with a 45% increase in sales compared to five years ago. Meanwhile, Hancock continues to be one of the Indy metro’s hottest markets, leading large-county growth so far this year.
These ten counties have the highest total sales so far in 2025. Combined, they account for nearly half of all residential transactions in the state. Most of them are showing modest growth this year, with a few clear leaders:
| County | Sales YTD | YOY % | 5-Year Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marion | 5,872 | -1% | -14% |
| Hamilton | 3,026 | +4% | -10% |
| Lake | 2,596 | +5% | -4% |
| Allen | 2,410 | +2% | -11% |
| St. Joseph | 1,575 | 0% | -1% |
| Hendricks | 1,343 | +8% | -2% |
| Johnson | 1,301 | +16% | +3% |
| Vanderburgh | 1,163 | +6% | -8% |
| Clark | 994 | +3% | -3% |
| Porter | 910 | +13% | -12% |
Johnson County (+16%) and Porter County (+13%) are posting standout growth, while Marion County—the state’s largest market—is nearly flat compared to last year and still well below its pandemic-era pace.
Market activity is up slightly statewide, but we’re still down 8% compared to five years ago. Still, with elevated rates continuing to put negative pressure on sales, this is relatively good place to be. Buyers are cautiously re-entering the market and finding significantly more listings than in years past.
Check back in August to see whether this momentum carries into Q3.
Most Monday Maps are pulled straight from our maps page, but this week is different—we built this map inside a market report, and we're going to show you how to do the same.
First, create a new report for a geography we can map: the whole state or a county, township, or ZIP Code.
Click "Map it!" at the bottom of a chart card. We'll show you a statewide map of the geography you selected. If you picked all of Indiana, we'll show you a county map. For example, if you're viewing inventory for Monroe County, you'll see a statewide map of inventory in all counties when you click "Map it!".
Change your map with the dropdown menu. You can view any of the facts at the top of the chart card in your map. This might include the latest statistic, year-over-year change, five-year change, or weekly trends or averages, depending on the chart card you're viewing.
