The Zionsville house that led the Indianapolis metro area’s reported home sales last week spreads a reported 10,722 square feet across more than two acres in the Clifden Pond neighborhood, with a climate-controlled wine cellar off the kitchen and a home theater on the walkout lower level. Five reported sales across the metro totaled $9.90 million for the week ending September 20, 2026.
The week’s five closings all landed outside the city of Indianapolis itself, in Zionsville, Carmel, Noblesville and Fishers, with Carmel accounting for two. The houses ranged from an 1840 equestrian property in Noblesville, complete with a 60-by-100-foot indoor riding arena, to a Carmel residence completed in 2026.
