These were the five highest-priced home sales reported in the Fort Wayne, Indiana metro area for the week ending October 4, 2026, and together they came to $4.24 million. Two of the homes are in Fort Wayne, and the others are in Markle, Columbia City and Huntertown, across Allen, Wells and Whitley counties.
All five are single-family homes, and none is older than 2002. Three are one-story designs, and three sit on several acres of rural land, where finished walkout basements, outbuildings and a backyard pool share the story with the rooms upstairs.
No. 1 — $1,200,000 · 4242 Osiris Ln, Fort Wayne, Indiana
The top sale of the week was a home finished this year in The Villages of Arneo, a Fort Wayne community, which sold for $1,200,000. Preston Allen Homes custom-designed it in a style it calls Modern European Transitional, with brick and vinyl siding outside, and it sits on a level 0.36-acre lot beside a pond, close to a walking trail.
The home rises three stories and has 5,087 square feet, five bedrooms and five bathrooms, four of them full and one a half bath. The main level is the most finished in its detail, with crown molding, ceilings of nine feet and more, and a private office paneled in custom wood under a coffered ceiling. The kitchen opens to the main living area, where the fireplace is, and is built around an oversized island, with a large prep pantry and a lighted custom wall behind the range.
Two of the bedrooms are on the main level. The home was planned for more than one generation, with a separate suite that has its own bedroom, its own living area and custom built-ins. The primary suite has a large walk-in closet that connects directly to the laundry, and its bath has heated floors, two vanities and a custom tiled walk-in shower. Upstairs are three more bedrooms, two full baths, a second laundry room and an open family space. The third floor is given over to a lounge with a built-in bar and a view out over the pond.

The sale with the most land was in Markle, where a 2023 home on 11.55 wooded, rural acres sold for $850,000. The property is in the Northern Wells school district, and its acreage leaves room for walking the woods or hunting, with deer often seen close to the home.
The traditional-style home, finished in stone and vinyl siding, is one story above a full walkout basement, and at 6,601 square feet it has the most living area of the five. It has five bedrooms, three of them on the main level in a split plan, and four bathrooms: three full and a half bath. A gas fireplace runs from floor to ceiling in the living room. The kitchen has an island, generous cabinets and a pantry tucked out of sight, and the primary suite has its own bath.
Most of the entertaining happens downstairs. The finished basement has a movie room, a recreation room, a bar area and a home gym, as well as a dedicated tornado shelter. A covered porch and a patio lead outside, and the attached garage has room for three cars.
