If you are deciding on an asking price, I would stay grounded in the few numbers this market actually gives us.
If you are trying to decide whether to list now or wait, my answer is simple price for the market in front of you, not the number you wish it would bring. In Porter, IN, the clearest guide I have right now is that a typical estimated home value stood at $343,840 over the previous 30 days, while the only new listing recently on the market was priced at $419,900.
Over the previous 30 days, a typical estimated home value in Porter, IN was $343,840, and that was 1.06% higher than the prior month. Looking at the most recent three-month window, the same value point was $313,000, with a reported change of 9.85%, so I would not treat pricing as guesswork when the range between a typical value and an actual asking price is this visible.
For a seller, that matters because pricing too aggressively in a market with just 1 active listing and 1 recent closed sale in the last three months can leave you with very little feedback to work from. A typical active listing pace was 33 days recently, and with so few properties in play, I would focus less on testing the ceiling and more on giving the market a reason to engage quickly.
Start with the condition, size, and positioning of your home before you choose a list price. Compare your plan against the recent $419,900 asking price only as a reference point, not a guarantee. Set a price you can defend on day one, and be ready to review showing activity fast if your launch does not create movement.
