How many Near East Side sales are under $200,000?

Most of them: 442 of the 730 recorded sales (61%) were under $200,000. Another 170 (23%) sold from $200,000 to $299,999, and 56 (8%) from $300,000 to $399,999.

At the top, 46 sales (6%) were from $400,000 to $599,999 and 16 (2%) were $600,000 and up. A seller pricing a home here should compare it with sales in its own price band rather than with the neighborhood median alone.

How do quarterly sales counts and medians look on the Near East Side?

Counts ranged from 140 sales (January to March 2026) to 294 sales (April to June 2025). Medians ran from $129,950 (January to March 2026) to $189,900 (July to September 2026).

The July to September 2026 median of $189,900 came from 194 sales, 12% above the $170,000 on 227 sales in the same months a year earlier. Because medians swing between quarters, we use the 12-month figures first.

How long do homes take to go under contract around the Near East Side?

Public records do not show days on market, so this answer uses ZIP Code 46201 as a whole. In October 2026 the median home in the ZIP went under contract in 52 days, against 35 days for Marion County, and that was up 84% from a year earlier as published.

An average of 249 homes were for sale in the ZIP in October 2026, and months of inventory was 6.5, against 3.7 months for Marion County. In that month 66 new listings came to market and 38 new pending contracts were recorded.

Where we stand on Near East Side price forecasts

Our view at Mark Dietel Realty: We report what happened and what it means for your price range. We do not predict prices. Anyone who tells you exactly where prices will be next spring is guessing.

Your options for selling a Near East Side home

There is more than one way to sell a Near East Side 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.
