Fort Wayne, IN housing market

In Fort Wayne, nearly one in four home listings just took a price cut. If you are thinking about selling this year, that single number tells you exactly where deals go wrong here. Start with the good news. The typical Fort Wayne home is worth about two hundred twenty-one thousand dollars, up a little over three percent from a year ago, so values are still climbing. Now look at what sellers are asking. The median list price is close to two hundred eighty-two thousand dollars, roughly sixty thousand dollars above what a typical home is actually worth. That gap is the whole story this month. Buyers see it, they wait, and homes sit for about thirty-nine days while sellers blink first. Meanwhile the competition keeps arriving, with nearly five hundred new listings hitting a market that already has almost seven hundred homes for sale. But here is the turn. This is not a falling market. Values are up, and homes priced correctly still move in five or six weeks. So the play is simple: price at the market, not above it, and you skip the cut everyone else is making.
