Yeah, this blog is definitely not going to age well...but it’ll be fun to look back with fond memories...

Okay, I used the most recent months to collect this data, and during that time the average selling price in Valparaiso, Indiana was $370,000.

So, let’s start with a more opening price point home at $250,000...

$250,000 home

Here is a home that recently sold in Valparaiso for $250,000. It has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms at about 2,200 square feet and it sits on about a quarter of an acre of land.

$375,000 home

Moving onto our next price point, let’s get close to that average sale price and look at this one that sold for $375,000. It’s a 4 bedroom, 3 bath house measuring just over 2,800 square feet and sits on almost 1 acre of land. So, we’ve essentially added a bedroom and bathroom, and increased the size of the lot as well.

$550,000 home

Next up is a $550,000 house. This one was built in 2018, so a little newer than the ones earlier. It has 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and measures just over 3,000 square feet. It is on a smaller lot at only .17 acres, but that is because it is in Pepper Ridge which is a desirable neighborhood.

$800,000 home

Lastly, let’s look at an $800,000 house. This one is unique, as the homes tend to be when we get into the upper price points. This one is a 4 bedroom, 4 bath home on just about 2,700 square feet. A little smaller than the last house, yes, but it makes it up for it with the property size. The home sits on a gorgeous 10 acre piece of land with a pond, a greenhouse, and a pole barn.

$1,575,000 home

Ok should we drool a little bit over a $1.5M house? Yeah, let’s do it. Very contemporary, this home sold for $1,575,000. It is almost 7,500 square feet boasting 4 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. It sits on over 5 acres and has many upgrades throughout.

Remember that these examples are not the end-all-be-all. As you can see, size of the land, neighborhood, and the updates throughout are of course major factors. These are just a few guides and give you handful of examples.
