Dues, size range and a thin sample.
Association dues are not part of the MLS data behind this page, so I am not quoting a number. Ask the listing agent for the current dues and what they cover, then confirm with the association itself.

The Indianapolis Public Education Corporation, a new appointed board created by state law in 2026, has an operating referendum on the November 3, 2026 ballot for addresses inside the IPS boundary: up to 37.2 cents per $100 of assessed value for up to four years, capped at $95 million a year, with the revenue split between IPS and participating charter schools. The ballot estimates $221 a year on a $150,000 median home. It replaces the 2018 IPS referendum rate of 19.6 cents, which expires in December 2026. IPS crosses township lines, and some addresses nearby are served by other districts, so confirm the district for the address. Referendum rates sit outside the 1% cap.

Indiana caps homestead property tax at 1% of gross assessed value under the circuit breaker, so most owner-occupants land at or near that figure before any voter-approved referendum rate, which sits outside the cap. Rentals and second homes are capped at 2% and should be modeled separately. Marion County's local income tax is 2.02%, per the Indiana Department of Revenue's county rate notice effective October 1, 2026. Confirm assessments with the Marion County Assessor.
If you want a lower entry price, compare Montrose, which sold at a median of $186,500. For all of Indianapolis, see my Indianapolis guide.

I'm Wes Johnston, a Realtor with Trueblood Real Estate, based in Fishers. I cover the whole Indianapolis metro, and every guide on this site is built the same way: MIBOR numbers, public sources, and the trade-offs a listing description won't mention.
My job isn't to open doors. It's to tell you what a house is actually worth, what's wrong with it, and whether it's the right move for what you're trying to do — then negotiate hard on your behalf and own the process from contract to close.
If you're two years out, that's fine. Most of my best clients started with a question, not a showing.
Fishers-based. Honest numbers, every part of the metro. Committed to your success.
