The highest-priced town on this site and one of the fastest. Here is what the numbers say this year, and the tax question on the November ballot.
Start with the map. Filter by price, beds, and neighborhood.
Zionsville is the most expensive market on this site. The median single-family sale was $750,000 year to date, against $650,000 in Carmel and $440,000 in Fishers. It is a different price tier, and it behaves like one: homes went under contract in a median of five days, and sellers got 99.6% of list.
The part that surprises people is the direction. Closings are up 13%, from 313 to 354, while the median slipped 2.6% from $770,000. More houses changed hands at slightly lower prices. That is not a market cooling off. It is a mix shift — more sales below the top of the range — in a market that is still moving at full speed.
Supply is thin for a reason. Zionsville has managed its growth on purpose for a long time, new subdivisions tend to go through contested rezonings, and a lot of the land added when the town absorbed Union and Perry townships is planned to stay rural. That keeps inventory tight and keeps prices where they are.
Fully underwritten pre-approval, not a pre-qualification letter. A clear list of what you will and won't compromise on, decided before you tour. And the ability to see a house the day it lists. At 99.6% of list, the negotiating room most buyers imagine mostly is not there — the leverage is in terms, timing and being first.
What you are actually buying: a brick-street Village that is a real downtown, a lot of green space, and one of the most insulated price levels in the metro. What you are paying for it: the highest entry price on the northwest side, a higher county income tax than Hamilton County, and a school referendum question on this November's ballot.

After two township mergers the town covers roughly 67 square miles, most of it rural. The Village and the estate land to the west are two very different purchases.
The brick Main Street, laid in 1911, with close to 175 businesses and a regular calendar of street events. Older homes on small lots, and the town has a historic preservation ordinance, so ask about exterior review before you plan a renovation.

Most of Zionsville is served by Zionsville Community Schools, and Zionsville Community High School is in town on Mulberry Street. Lebanon Community School Corporation serves some areas, so confirm the assignment for the specific address.
The district is asking voters to approve an operating referendum at a rate of up to 41.28 cents per $100 of assessed value for up to eight years, capped at about $21.5 million a year. The ballot itself estimates the cost at $1,368 a year on a $600,000 median home. It would replace the 2019 referendum, which runs through 2027. The district cites the property-tax changes in Senate Enrolled Act 1 (2025) as the reason.
Put the ceiling rate into your carrying-cost math before you write an offer, not after you close. Referendum rates sit outside the 1% cap. Confirm the current terms with the district and the Boone County election office rather than relying on a summary, including this one.
The district also has a $54 million early learning center under construction on 700 East, south of Zionsville West Middle School.
The rail trail connects Zionsville and Whitestown, about nine miles, and ties into more than 20 miles of town paths. Carpenter Nature Preserve, a 215-acre former golf course on Eagle Creek, opened in May 2026.
I-65, I-865 and I-465 all touch the town, and US 421 (Michigan Road) runs up the east side. INDOT has design work under way on US 421, with construction timing not yet published. I won't quote you a commute I haven't driven at your hour — drive your route at your actual start time before you commit.
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. Boone County's local income tax is 1.71%, against 1.1% in Hamilton County, per the Indiana Department of Revenue's county rate notice effective October 1, 2026. Confirm assessments with the Boone County Assessor.
If your budget tops out under $500,000, you will spend most of your time watching houses you can't get; Fishers or Westfield is the more honest search. If you need to negotiate hard on price, or you can't see a house within a day of it listing, this market will frustrate you. I'd rather say that now.
The median single-family sale was $750,000 year to date through August 2026, on 354 closings, down 2.6% from $770,000 over the same stretch of 2025. That is the highest median of any town on this site.
Very fast. The median home went under contract in five days, the same as a year ago, and sellers received 99.6% of list price. Months of supply was 1.7 in August.

Some, and it is limited. Fischer Homes is selling The Reserve at Holliday Farms, several custom builders work in Holliday Farms, and a 197-home Pulte plan on 300 South was approved in July 2026. The town has historically kept growth deliberate.
Boone County's local income tax rate is 1.71% as of the Indiana Department of Revenue's October 1, 2026 notice, on top of the 2.95% state rate.
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.
At five days to contract, being early is the whole game here. Set up a saved search and you'll get new Zionsville listings the day they come on the market.
