Selling a house in Northwest Indiana

Northwest Indiana’s housing mirrors its history. The lakefront cities, Hammond, East Chicago, Whiting and Gary, grew with the steel mills and refineries, and are full of bungalows, frame homes and two-flats from the early 1900s through the 1950s. South of the Borman Expressway, towns like Merrillville, Crown Point, Schererville and St. John grew from the 1970s on with ranches and subdivisions.

Older homes along the lakefront often need major work, and some sit vacant with back taxes. Those are exactly the houses that are hard to sell to buyers with financing, and exactly what we buy.

Indiana is different from Illinois

Indiana doesn’t charge a state or local transfer tax. Most home sales need a state Sales Disclosure Form filed with the county, and sellers of most homes complete a seller’s residential disclosure. Property taxes are paid in arrears in spring and fall installments. Lake County, Indiana estates go through the Lake Superior Court’s probate division. We handle the paperwork with a local title company.
