What the numbers mean
A citywide figure is context, not a price for your house
A median sale price describes the middle of completed sales in the place and period shown. Zillow's typical home value is a different measure. Neither one accounts for the exact condition, layout, repairs or sale terms of your property.
An updated, easy-to-show home and a house needing major repairs are different selling comparisons. Tenant occupancy can affect access and showings; your preferred timing also affects how long you may carry costs while waiting. Compare the likely net from each path, not just a citywide number or headline offer.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can compare that option with preparing the house for a listing.
Selling costs in Indianapolis
Keep closing costs separate from balances tied to the house
When you compare an Indianapolis sale, keep your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes on separate lines from closing costs. Those amounts are not covered by our closing-cost promise. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Ask the closing professional to confirm the figures for your property and sale.
For Marion County property-assessment records, start with the Marion County Assessor.
What you may keep
Sale price and net proceeds are not the same number
Net proceeds are what remains after costs. Compare a realistic sale price or written offer with repairs, cleanout, mortgage payoff, selling costs and the bills you would carry while waiting. The Indianapolis calculator lets you adjust planning assumptions and compare what you may keep.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“I retired from Carle Hospital after thirty-three years as a nurse and decided to move to Arizona to be near my son. My house in Lincolnwood had been good to me but it needed some work I wasn't willing to do. USA Home Buyers made an offer the day after we spoke. I was in Tucson six weeks later.”
“I'd been renting to UIUC students in Old West Urbana for eleven years. Every August it was the same: new tenants, new damage, new headaches. Last summer I decided I was done. USA Home Buyers bought the place tenant-occupied. Closed in twelve days. I'm out of the landlord business.”
“The Champaign County divorce decree required the house to be sold. It's in Savoy, near the university, good area — but we couldn't agree on anything. One offer was already written up for us and both of us just had to sign. Twelve days and it was done. The attorneys took care of the rest.”
Indianapolis market report questions
Does the Indianapolis median sale price tell me what my house is worth?
No. It summarizes sales across Indianapolis city for the period shown; it does not price a particular house. Condition, repairs, access, occupancy and timing all affect your comparison.
What can change the comparison for my house?
The home’s condition, repair needs, whether tenants live there, access for showings and how long you would carry the property can all change the comparison between an as-is sale and listing.
Do you buy houses as-is in Indianapolis and Marion County?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
When I sell to you, who pays the closing costs?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes remain separate.
How do I get a written cash offer?
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. Share the Indianapolis property address through the form or call 888-274-5006.
