The median selling price in the five-county area was $125,000 in November, up just 4 percent over one year ago, according to Greater Northwest Indiana Association of Realtors figures. The association serves Lake, Porter, LaPorte, Jasper and Newton counties. In the five counties served by the association, 710 homes were sold in November, as compared to 479 in November 2008.
