Unlike a majority of other Central Indiana cities the total number of homes sold in Martinsville, Indiana did not increase with the onset of spring, but instead held steady at 13.

The number sold in February is down almost 30 percent compared to last February. The total number of Martinsville homes for sale also dropped from 258 in January to 249 in February. This is down around 17.5 percent from the 302 homes that were listed for sale last February.
