Methodology: Data sourced from Indiana court records via public case-management systems. Property sales confirmed by cross-referencing county assessor ownership transfer records after each filing. Sale prices reflect recorded transfer amounts. All statistics reflect our current archive as of 2026-09-08 and are updated as new filings and sales are tracked. Only sales confirmed by a recorded disclosure or deed are counted (assessor last-sale-date inferences are excluded). Query: SELECT sold_price FROM court_filings_archive WHERE lead_type='Probate' AND state='IN' AND sold=1 AND sale_source IN (disclosure/deed/OneMap sources) AND sold_price > 0
