Post: 2024 Market Review -- Indianapolis, IN

Indianapolis is seeing steady property value growth. Indy is up on average 3.7% YoY in median sales price.

Inventory on the market has been steadily rising. Indy is up 24.3% on the year, with 5,650 listings on the market as of August 2024 data. 

Days on market is nearly the same as this time in 2023, showing a reliably strong seller's market, yet not as competitive and crazy as COVID-era. Median days on market is 15 days. Seller's are receiving 98.3% of list price. 

Rent growth had the most gains in 2022, but 2024 has seen modest gains. 

Rates have now decreased from averages in the mid-7's to now upper-5's, yet the market has not seen a "speed up" -- likely due to the seasonal swing, and the upcoming election. 

2025 should see strong property value growth, with increased inventory, but also increased buyer activity with rates expected to continue downward.

Hey @Guy Keren! I am an active investor in Indianapolis, and own two Short-term rentals. I think the best in the book for flexibility and friendliness to LLC's is CRE Finance. They are doing 7% on 30 yr fixed for me, which is pretty strong for STR income based DSCR loan. Otherwise, just use a regular conventional loan based on personal income if you want good terms as well. Happy to help with contacts.

Quote from @James Viglione:
Quote from @Becca F.:

Cameron, I could write a 10 page paper about my experiences. I used to live in Hamilton County then rented out my home (owned 11 years) after I moved back to California - that rental has gone well, great tenants (on Year 4 of lease now), doubled in value from 2013 to 2021 but the property tax increases are substantial. Very few repairs (replaced HVAC and water heater when I lived there) but it's a newer home, built in 2005. 

I bought 2 Class C homes on East Side of Indianapolis in 2023 so the higher interest rates are a negative factor. That hasn't gone  well. C#1 has had 9 repairs out of 12 months, called in by tenant. I was supposed to cash flow $176 a month but now I'm break even with property tax increase in April 2024 and -$300 to -$500 most months. The seller did the renovation not me. C#2 currently problem solving this - too long of story to comment on here.

I think you could put together a guide for first time or OOS investors so they don't need to look at multiple sources, like city-data, Neighborhood Scout etc:

- Guide to Indy metro areas with median home prices, rents, property tax rates, typical insurance rates, how close these areas are to major employers, which companies are moving to Indy, median incomes for each county, unemployment rate, etc.  

This part no one told me about except for honest contractors and property managers:

- get a sewer line scope. In California a home seller is required to get an inspection of the private sewer lateral a certain number of years prior to the sale. The number of years depends on the city. Some require a Certificate of Compliance before close of escrow. Never had an issue with buying in CA with sewer line issues unlike Indy.

- a house can pass inspection but once it's under daily stress from an occupant living there things can start to break 

- just because the seller renovated it doesn't mean there won't be capital expenses and repairs. You never know how good the renovation is. I personally wouldn't recommend an OOS new investor do a BRRRR from far away but at least the investor would know what work was done, if the contractor is trustworthy.

- On my property tax rates, 2.72% for Hamilton County and 2.78% for Indy and there's no pattern to the increases, 7% one year, 4% another year then 17% the most recent one (Hamilton County and Indy Class C#1). I don't know if there's a cap for investors. I can't appeal the increases because the assessed values are less than the comparable market values. For someone running their numbers, I would factor in a 17% increase the next year in property taxes to be cautious, not the 3% or 7% most people use. I had to figure this one out on my own. 

- Stolen AC unit on East side of Indy and to get a cage. 

Knowing what I know now, I would have bought one newer home in the suburbs or townships and  accepted the negative cash flow in exchange for appreciation to not deal with repair issues. Feel free to DM for more insights :) 


Hi, Becca F.! Thanks for sharing your experiences investing in Indiana from OOS. I'm also an investor from California looking to get into the greater Indianapolis market. Would love to know your thoughts on the Avon, Plainfield, Brownsburg area? Seems the only way to get those areas to cash flow at the moment is with a 50-60%+ down payment, but I'm leaning towards playing it safe with my first SFH investment there rather than risking going into the more affordable C-class areas. I've heard too many horror stories from people investing in the rougher areas in Indy or losing their hat in multi family unit there.


 Yes, that is the only way to cash flow there due to the high price to rent ratio. A typical home will cost $300,000 and rent for $2500, which with taxes, insurance, maintenance, capex, management will not cash flow. You would just own that for the appreciation & equity growth (not necessarily a bad thing). However, you may want to consider some decent urban markets that area nice enough and cash flow or some tertiary markets like Lebanon, Kokomo, and even Anderson where cash flow is more achievable!

Hi Rob, we should definitely get on a call. Indianapolis is a very newcomer friendly investing location. We have a booming diversified economy with low unemployment, yet remain a very affordable metro with a median price under $300,000 in the city. Cash flow is possible!

Hey @Guy Keren, I'd love to jump on a call with you.  

I own two short-term rental properties, albeit neither is in the FTSQ area, one is Christian Park and the other is in Butler-Tarkington. However, I've personally listed & sold quite a few properties in that neighborhood and have a good pulse on it!
