The Art of Distinction Blog by Encore Sotheby's International Realty

As we transition into the winter months, housing activity across the regions we serve has softened in line with typical seasonal patterns. Many communities saw a decline in closed transactions from October to November, while pricing generally remained stable or showed targeted increases in high-demand areas. Days on market rose in several locations as buyers took a more measured approach and inventory levels continued to normalize. Even with this seasonal slowdown, select markets – including Zionsville, Washington Township, Fort Wayne, and Valparaiso – demonstrated notable price resilience. As always, understanding how these shifts influence market opportunities can help you make informed, confident real estate decisions during the months ahead.
