Here's the headline for Hendricks County this July. The countywide median settled at $361,500, down about 1% from a year ago, but don't read that as a soft market. Homes are moving faster than they were last summer, with the typical listing going pending in 15 days, nearly a third quicker than July 2025. Inventory is up 7.7% to 492 active homes, so buyers finally have a few more doors to walk through, yet price per square foot still climbed 5.9%. That tells me demand is healthy and well-priced homes are getting snapped up.

The community stories are where it gets interesting. Plainfield is the standout, with the median up 9.9% to $380,450 and homes selling in just over a week at 10 days, a real seller's market. Brownsburg is the tightest on supply, with active inventory down 6.7%, which keeps well-prepared sellers in a strong spot. Avon is the most balanced of the group, holding steady at $363,000 with more homes to choose from, so buyers there have a little breathing room. Danville is the fastest mover of all at 8 days, but that number deserves context. Its median came in at $325,450, down from last year, and active inventory climbed sharply, so a good part of that shift is about which price points happened to sell in July. New construction is a piece of it too, with builders like D.R. Horton active at Miles Farm on the west side, and those homes can pull the median around from month to month.

Here's the bottom line. This is still a market that rewards sellers who price sharp and show well, because the homes doing that are selling in two weeks or less across most of the county. Buyers have more options than they did a year ago, and rising price per square foot means waiting on the sidelines isn't getting cheaper. If you're weighing a move either direction, the smartest first step is a real number for your specific home and neighborhood, not a guess. That's exactly what I'm here for.
