<p>Michigan City&#8217;s market tells a nuanced story. Prices jumped 19.3% to $170,000, making it the most affordable community in our NW Indiana analysis. However, days on market surged from 19 to 63, and the sale-to-list ratio dropped to 94.9%—the lowest in the region. This suggests that while overall values are rising (driven partly by lakefront and investment properties), the broader market is experiencing a correction in seller expectations. For buyers, this creates opportunity; for sellers, it requires realistic pricing.</p>
