Real Estate Market Review for Elkhart & St. Joseph County
As we jump into 2020 and a new decade ahead, it’s worth looking back at the 2019 Real Estate Market for Elkhart County and St. Joseph County to see how prices faired and days on market shifted by month.
When selling a home, you want the best price possible for your home and you want it to sell fast so you can focus on your next home with peace of mind.
We track this type of data by looking at the average listing price, the average sale price, and average days on market.
- Average Listing Price – this data point tracks all of the homes that were listed for sale and averages the original price they went live at on Day 1
- Average Sold Price – after negotiations homes can sell for a different price than what they originally listed for
- Average Days on Market – how many days a home was listed for sale on average
We also break data up by County. In the Northern Indiana region, Kevin Foy with RE/MAX Oak Crest Realty, focuses on homes in the Elkhart County and St. Joseph County Markets. Each of these markets are different so it’s one of the reasons for keeping them separate when reviewing the market.
