Whether you’re thinking about selling, refinancing, or just curious, one of the most common homeowner questions is:
“What’s my home actually worth today?”
In 2025, Indiana’s housing market is shifting again—driven by interest rate adjustments, inventory changes, and high demand in family-friendly suburbs like Carmel, Fishers, Greenwood, and Noblesville.
If you’re a homeowner in the Greater Indianapolis area, this post will help you understand what determines your home’s value right now—and how to get a local, accurate, and actionable estimate with help from Talk to Annie Real Estate
5 Key Factors That Determine Your Home’s Value
- Location: Neighborhood, school district, walkability, and proximity to parks or businesses.
- Condition: Recently renovated homes with updated kitchens, roofs, or HVAC systems get a premium.
- Size & Layout: Square footage, bedroom/bathroom count, and open-concept designs matter.
- Age of the Home: Well-maintained older homes can compete with new builds—but deferred maintenance will cost you.
- Market Conditions: Supply, demand, interest rates, and even seasonal timing affect pricing.

Zillow & Online Estimates: Helpful or Misleading?
You’ve likely seen a Zestimate® or used online home value tools—but here’s the truth:
✅ They’re a starting point
❌ They don’t see your renovations, condition, or curb appeal
❌ They don’t know your neighborhood like a local agent does
❌ They’re often off by 5–10% (or more)
🧭 That’s why smart homeowners go beyond algorithms and ask real local experts like Annie.
Why 2025 May Be the Right Time to Sell or Refinance
- Equity is high for most Indiana homeowners who bought before 2022
