What have Fountain Square homes sold for over the past year?

From October 2025 to September 2026, 142 home sales were recorded in the Fountain Square Neighborhood Association area, and the median sale price was $329,000. Marion County recorded 14,106 home sales over the same 12 months, with a median of $229,000.

These figures are recorded home sales from public records, which include homes sold without a listing, so they can differ from listing-based figures.

By quarter, the median was $326,000 on 32 sales from October to December 2025, $310,000 on 27 sales from January to March 2026, $335,000 on 59 sales from April to June 2026, and $330,000 on 24 sales from July to September 2026. The same three months a year earlier recorded 32 sales with a median of $355,900. Quarters with fewer sales move around more, so use the 12-month figures first.

How fast are homes going under contract in and around Fountain Square?

Public records do not show days on market, so this answer uses ZIP Code 46203 as a whole, which is larger than the neighborhood. In October 2026 the median home in the ZIP went under contract in 40 days, against 35 days for Marion County. For the ZIP, that was up 45% from a year earlier as published.

In the same month, 76 new listings came on the market in the ZIP and 65 new pending contracts were recorded, as published by the Housing Hub.

How many listings near Fountain Square are cutting their price?

In ZIP Code 46203 as a whole, 67.1% of listings had a price decrease in the three weeks to the week of Oct. 26, 2026, against 60.5% across Marion County. Homes sold for 90.5% of their original list price in that three-week average, against 94.2% for the county.

By the Housing Hub's original-list-price measure, at or above 98 percent is a seller's market, 96 to under 98 percent is balanced, and under 96 percent is a buyer's market. That is a buyer's market call for ZIP Code 46203 as a whole, and a single price range can differ.

Is there more for sale around Fountain Square than a year ago?

These are ZIP Code figures, so they describe the competition a listing meets, not the neighborhood's own sales.

Your options for selling a Fountain Square home

There is more than one way to sell a Fountain Square home. We will lay them side by side with your numbers so you can choose.

List on the market

Usually the highest price, if you have time to prepare and show the home.

• A local agent walks through your home
• Recent sales at your price, side by side
• A pricing and preparation plan for your first weeks on the market

Guaranteed sale

For sellers who need to know the home will sell before they make their next move. Conditions apply.

• We agree on the price up front
• Plan your move around a known outcome

Cash offer

Speed and certainty. Sell as-is, on your timeline.

• No repairs or showings
• See how a cash price compares with listing

A cash offer trades price for speed and certainty. If your home is in good shape and you have time, a cash offer usually means taking less. It can make sense when repairs, timing or certainty matter more than price.

Who this may not be right for

You may not need a listing agent if you already have a buyer, you are comfortable pricing from public sold data, and you are ready to handle disclosures, showings, negotiation and closing paperwork yourself, or with a real estate attorney. Many people sell that way. If that is you, we will tell you so.

We are a team: you work with a listing agent backed by inside sales, coordinators and a transaction coordinator. Some sellers want one person for every call, start to finish. If that matters more to you than a team system, a solo agent may fit you better.
