Latest March 2026: $260,000What to know about Speedway
Speedway is a small town of about 12,000 people on the west side, surrounded by Indianapolis but with its own town government and the School Town of Speedway as its district. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway anchors the western edge and Main Street has been on a steady redevelopment arc.
The housing stock is mostly bungalows, ranches, cottages, and mid-century homes near the track and Main Street. Lot sizes are reasonable. Newer infill and renovation activity have picked up around Main Street.
The latest Redfin data (March 2026) shows a median sale price around $260,000, up 3.2% year over year, with homes selling for about 99% of list and a 78-day median days on market. The strong sale-to-list ratio confirms accurate pricing gets paid, but the longer DOM tells you marketing time matters here.
Speedway fits buyers who want a small-town feel inside the metro, race-season short-term rental investors where rules allow, sellers near Main Street or the track, and households wanting School Town of Speedway rather than IPS. Tradeoffs include race-week traffic and noise, parking pressure near the track during events, and limited new construction.
For investors, the short-term-rental thesis around race weekends is real but verify the town's ordinance carefully before underwriting that into the deal. For sellers, the 99% sale-to-list ratio rewards accurate pricing.
