Five single-family homes in four cities were the highest-priced home sales reported in the Valparaiso-Michigan City & Dunes Area, Indiana for the week ending October 25, 2026, and together they sold for $3.83 million. Two of the sales were in Valparaiso, with one each in La Porte, Chesterton and Crown Point. Four of the homes are in Porter County and one is in La Porte County.
Every home in the group has four bedrooms, but they are otherwise a varied set: a custom home with a pool and a finished basement, a brick-front ranch on an acre and a half, a home kept by its original owners since the 1990s, and two new-construction homes, one of them still to be built.
No. 1 — $1,250,000 · 3703 Elio Way, Valparaiso, Indiana
The week’s top sale was a 2020 home in the Brigata Hills neighborhood of Valparaiso, which sold for $1,250,000. At 5,306 square feet it was the largest of the five homes, and its five bathrooms were the most in the group. The home has four bedrooms and an attached 2.5-car garage on a lot of 0.45 acres.
A covered front porch leads to an entrance foyer and an open main level with wood floors and high ceilings. The kitchen has granite counters, an island and a walk-in pantry, and it opens to the family room, where a gas fireplace faces out to the covered patio and the plunge pool. The backyard is fenced, and the property also has a fire pit.
The main level is laid out as a split plan. The primary suite is on one side, with his-and-hers walk-in closets; its bath has a soaking tub and a tiled walk-in shower. Two bedrooms on the other side each have their own bathroom, and a fourth bedroom is in use as a home office.
Upstairs are a bonus room, an exercise room and a full bath. The finished daylight basement adds a sauna and a glass-walled office, along with an entertainment area fitted with custom walnut shelving and a beverage center, and another full bath. The developer finished the home with detailed millwork and stone throughout.
