Quick answer: Johnson County is a balanced market for sellers: homes that closed from mid-August to early November 2026 sold for a median of about 96.6% of original list price, the same as a year earlier. Your price range and town decide your own market, and homes under $200,000 or over $750,000 sold well below that.
What we analyzed: MLS closed residential sales in Johnson County from August 13 to November 10, 2026 (600 sales), compared with the same dates in 2025, plus active listings on November 12, 2026. Monthly figures come from the Indiana REALTORS Housing Hub Johnson County report for October 2026.
What this adds: we split the county by price range and by town. The county reads balanced, yet homes under $200,000 and over $750,000 sold well below original list price, and Bargersville sold further below list than Greenwood or Franklin.
Key takeaways
- Johnson County homes sold for a median of about 96.6% of original list price over the last 90 days, a balanced market under our Indiana cutoffs.
- About 11% fewer homes closed than in the same 90 days of 2025, while price per square foot held about steady.
- About three in five homes for sale on November 12 had cut their price at least once.
- Our read: your price range and your town tell you more than the county median does.
Is Johnson County a buyer's or seller's market right now?
A balanced market. Over the 90 days ending November 10, 2026, the median Johnson County sale closed at about 96.6% of its original list price, inside our balanced range of 96% to under 98%. Months of supply, a supporting number, stayed under three in October, which also points to a market where neither side has the upper hand.
The call is for the county as a whole. About 61% of active listings on November 12 were priced below their original list price, so many sellers have already adjusted. These months fall partly in the colder season, which is part of this reading.
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.

How do Greenwood, Franklin and Bargersville compare?
Over the same 90 days, Greenwood and Franklin sold near the county figure, while Whiteland and Nineveh sold closer to list price. Bargersville and Trafalgar sold below 96% of original list price, so sellers there faced a buyer's market at the town level while the county read balanced.

Are Johnson County home prices going up or down?
About steady. Median price per square foot in MLS sales was about $169 over the last 90 days, close to the year before. The Housing Hub's October median sale price rose from a year earlier, but with fewer closings the mix of homes that sold can move a median more than prices do, so price per square foot is the steadier gauge.
How many homes sold in Johnson County in October 2026?
Johnson County had 181 closed sales in October 2026, about one-fifth fewer than a year earlier. New pending contracts, which signal buyer demand ahead of closings, were also lower than a year ago. Our read: fewer contracts means sellers compete for each buyer, so the first weeks on the market matter.
How long do Johnson County homes take to sell?
The Housing Hub reported median days on market of 35 in October 2026, up from 30 in September. More days on the market gives buyers more time to compare homes and ask for price changes, and October falls in the colder part of the year, so season is part of this reading.
Why does the Housing Hub show about 95% when we say 96.6%?
The Housing Hub reports percent of list price received for October alone, 95.1%, and does not say whether that means the original or the latest list price. Our 96.6% is the median sale price as a share of original list price across 90 days of MLS sales. We use original list price because it is the first price buyers saw.
September figures come from the same report series, and recent months can be revised.

What does this look like in Central Indiana?
Take a hypothetical Greenwood or Franklin home listed at $300,000. Homes in the $300,000 to $349,999 range sold for a median of about 97.1% of original list price over the last 90 days, so a seller at that price could expect a normal negotiation near list. A home under $200,000 sat in a range that sold for about 93% of original list, where the first price carries more weight.

When this doesn't apply
These are county and town figures for all residential sales. A home under $200,000 or over $750,000 sold in a different market over the same months. If homes near you at your price sell faster or closer to list price than these figures, set your price from those sales. Homes that need major repairs or sit on unusual lots also may not match. If your home is in Greenwood, our Greenwood market post looks at that town on its own.
What should a Johnson County seller do next?
Find your row in the price-range table and your town in the town table, then ask for recent sales and current listings at your price near your address. If your range sold near original list price, price close to recent sales and expect a normal negotiation. If it sold well below, the first price matters more, because buyers compare it with homes that have already cut.

Frequently asked questions
What is the median sale price in Johnson County, Indiana?
The Indiana REALTORS Housing Hub reported a median sale price of $349,950 for Johnson County in October 2026. A median is the middle sale, so half of homes sold for more and half for less, and it does not describe any one house.
How many homes are for sale in Johnson County?
The Housing Hub reported average daily inventory of 608 homes in October 2026, about 19% above a year earlier. More homes for sale across the county means buyers have more to compare, and about three in five active listings had already cut their price by mid-November.
Is Johnson County a buyer's or seller's market?
A balanced market county-wide: the median sale closed at about 96.6% of original list price over the 90 days ending November 10, 2026. Homes under $200,000 and over $750,000 sold below 93%, a buyer's market at those prices, so your price range matters.
Do these numbers apply to Greenwood or Franklin?
Mostly. Greenwood and Franklin sold near the county figure over the last 90 days, while Bargersville sold further below list. For Greenwood, see our Greenwood housing market post, which looks at that town on its own. Ask for recent sales near your address before you set a price.
