<p>Hobart is the hottest market in Lake County right now. With a Redfin Compete Score of 74 (&#8220;Very Competitive&#8221;), it&#8217;s the only NW Indiana town in our analysis to earn that designation. The numbers back it up: sales volume jumped 27.8% (18 to 23 homes), days on market dropped from 44 to 36, and prices rose 7.6% to $235,000. At just below the Lake County median of $265,000, Hobart offers excellent affordability combined with strong momentum. Many homes are receiving multiple offers with waived contingencies.</p>
