Indiana Single-Family Building Permits Decline in June
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Indiana’s single-family building permits fell by 13% in June 2025 compared to May, according to the latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
A total of 1,811 single-family permits were issued in June 2025, marking a decrease from the 2,048 permits issued in May. This also represents a 6% decline from June 2024, when 1,921 permits were issued.
“This slowdown aligns with national trends. Single-family permits, construction starts, and new home sales are all down on a year-to-date basis nationally,” Rick Wajda, CEO of the Indiana Builders Association, said in a press release.
Despite the decline in June, Indiana’s year-to-date permit numbers for 2025 show a 3% increase compared to the same period in 2024, with 10,319 permits issued so far this year.
Indiana continues to lead the Midwest in new single-family housing growth, outpacing neighboring states such as Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, and Kentucky.
