If you are deciding how aggressively to price, the recent numbers point to a very narrow margin for error.
If you are trying to decide whether to list now or wait, I would treat this as a market that still rewards well-positioned homes. In Schererville, IN over the previous 30 days, supply stood at 1.35 months and recent offers landed about 98.3% of asking, so my advice is to come to market prepared, priced with discipline, and ready to move quickly once the right buyer engages.
A typical sale took 46 days last month, and the typical sold price was $325,000. At the same time, the typical asking price for active homes was $399,950, and that asking level was 14.3% higher than the prior month. I read that as a market where sellers still have leverage, but only if the home enters the market with a believable price and clean presentation. For a homeowner in Schererville, IN, the decision is not just whether demand exists. It does. The more important question is whether your price matches what buyers are actually accepting. With supply at 1.35 months and offers averaging 98.3% of asking, I would not chase the market upward just because some current listings are higher. I would anchor your plan to the recent sold pace and the actual gap between asking and accepted pricing. Start with the homes that sold, not the most optimistic active competition. Fix the condition issues that would slow you down during a 46-day typical sale timeline. Price to attract strong early attention, then be ready to negotiate within a tight range because recent buyers in Schererville, IN were still landing slightly below asking.
