The recent numbers point to where negotiation room may appear.

The short answer is yes, but only if you pay attention to the details. In Dyer, IN, the median list price was $439,999 last month and the median sold price was $380,000, so I would look for leverage in the gap between asking and closing behavior.
The recent spread between a $439,999 asking price and a $380,000 typical sale gives me a useful starting point. It tells me buyers cannot assume every home will land above the asking line, especially when the market is giving them clear price references. I would use that to stay selective. In Dyer, IN, the best move is to focus on homes where the list price feels stretched against the recent close level, then stay patient enough to avoid overcommitting too soon. Compare each new listing with the recent close benchmark. Keep your financing ready. Use the time on market to judge how firm the seller is likely to be.
