By median sale price, Masthead ranks 3 of the 76 Geist neighborhoods in this guide, among the most expensive for the area. Buyers pay a premium per square foot here: about $247 against a typical $160 across Geist neighborhoods, which usually points to location, lot or finish quality rather than sheer size. Homes took longer to sell than the typical Geist neighborhood (33 days versus 17 days), so buyers here are choosier about price and condition.

What matters when you sell here.
Because homes here have taken 33 days to sell at the median, I price from the closest comparable sales rather than the hopeful end of the range, and I invest in presentation up front so the listing does not stall.
At this price level the buyer pool is smaller and more specific, so marketing goes beyond the MLS: targeted exposure to relocation buyers, agents who work the $750K+ market, and photography that does the home justice.
For water-access and waterfront homes, dock rights, frontage and the view line are worth spelling out in the listing, because buyers pay for them.
I live in Indianapolis and work these neighborhoods every week. More about selling in Geist, or compare a cash offer if you need to sell fast.
