When people think of Indiana housing, they often envision affordability—but increasingly, the opportunity lies far beyond bargain-priced homes. At Goodin Development, we recognize the evolving landscape of Indiana’s real estate market, where rising home values, brisk sales, and limited inventory are creating significant potential—especially in multifamily and mixed-use developments. By tapping into this momentum, we deliver premium, Class A multifamily and mixed-use communities that offer lasting value, passive income, and real community impact without the headaches of landlord duties.

1. Indiana Housing Market: Strong Trends and Stability
2025 continues to bring momentum to Indiana’s housing market. Despite rising mortgage rates earlier this year, home sales are up—February closed sales jumped 12% from January, though still remain about 6% below 2024 levels. Median sale prices have appreciated sharply—rising approximately 7.2% year-over-year—outpacing the national average of 6.0%. Meanwhile, housing inventory remains tight, with only about 2.2 months of homes available for sale—well below the national figure of 3.3.
2. Indianapolis: A White-Hot Metro for Housing
Indianapolis stands out as one of the nation’s most competitive markets in 2025. Zillow ranks it the hottest metro in the Midwest and No. 2 overall, citing rapid home price appreciation—from around 2.8% in 2024 to an expected 3.4% in 2025—driven by affordability and strong job and wage growth.
Across the state, broader trends reinforce this strength. Demand for housing is high, prices are rising, sales are fast-moving, and rental rates continue to climb—highlighting opportunities not just in single-family homes but especially in multifamily and rental housing.
3. A Solid Foundation: Economic Strength and Affordability
Indiana’s housing market remains resilient thanks to strong fundamentals. The median household income in the state is approximately $60,351, while the cost of living remains around 8% lower than the national average, enhancing both affordability and market stability.
While housing prices rise—especially in urban centers like Indianapolis and Fort Wayne—most forecasts predict continued but moderate growth rather than volatility.
4. Why Multifamily Development Is a Strategic Move
The intense demand in Indiana’s housing market makes multifamily development both attractive and necessary. Multifamily properties offer:
- Steady returns: Multiple rental income streams across units reduce vacancy risks.
- Scalability: Building dense, Class A communities leverages economies of scale in operations and management.
- Community value: Thoughtfully designed properties in areas like Indianapolis, Fountain Square, or Broad Ripple enhance livability and long-term appreciation.
5. Goodin Development: Shaping Indiana Housing for Investors
Goodin Development expertly navigates Indiana’s housing dynamics to create impactful, profitable multifamily and mixed-use projects. We leverage:
- Public–private partnerships to secure ideal locations with strong local support.
- Full-service development—from acquisition and design to construction and stabilization, we manage it all.
- Transparency and alignment—investors receive timely updates, financial reporting, and structured exit strategies.
The Elwood in Kokomo—a $26M mixed-use development featuring 114 Class A residential units and 3,000 sq ft of commercial space—is a prime example of our approach. The project closed on construction financing in June 2025 and reflects our syndication model, where investors receive equity while we handle operations as general partners.
