Current home values in Indiana

Home values have been rising throughout Indiana and are up 8.6% from a year ago.

Statewide, the median value for a single-family home — meaning half are worth more, half are worth less — is currently $273,371, Realtor says.

Real estate agents say would-be homebuyers in some parts of the country are starting to overcome the obstacles caused by COVID-19 and are going virtual house hunting to take advantage of today's bargain mortgage rates and the low monthly house payments they provide.

Here's how that works in Indiana: Let's say you want to buy a mid-priced home using a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage at the current average interest, which is a low 3.33%, according to mortgage company Freddie Mac.

A 30-year mortgage for a $273,371 home at 3.33% would give a typical Indiana homebuyer a monthly payment of $961, assuming a 20% down payment.
