What does $550K get you in Indiana in July? See inside an 1872 Victorian & more

With the summer in full swing, inflation cooled in June for the twelfth straight month despite persistent rent hikes and rising gas prices.

Even with interest rates on mortgage loans hovering around 7%, the market is still moving quickly, according to Market Watch.

“There appears to be more demand than available supply for homes, especially in the real-estate market, which is keeping home prices high," Mike Simonsen, founder and president of real-estate analytics firm Altos Research, told MarketWatch.

The Baby Boomer generation is also largely 'aging in place,' according to a recent report by investment company US Money Reserve. The report said that 38% of American homeowners age 65+ have lived in their homes for more than 30 years, and another 39% have lived in their current homes for more than a decade.

This lack of movement, combined with homeowners who refinanced during the pandemic at low rates staying put, means the limited supply of housing on the market is keeping prices steady.

Here's a look around the state to see what homes in the $500,000 to $600,000 price range look like in July.

Indianapolis housing market

Own a piece of Indianapolis history with this Victorian townhouse on Delaware St. in the Old Northside. Built in 1872, this home has been renovated from top to bottom and seamlessly combines historic charm with updated style.

The three-story home has plenty of room with more than 4,000 sq ft of space, and an attached garage so you aren't scraping ice every morning in the winter.
