A median is the middle sale, not the average: half the houses sold for more and half for less, and one very large sale cannot drag it the way it drags an average. Only sales the Kitsap County Assessor coded as valid arm's-length transfers of a parcel with a house on it are counted, which is the same rule the sold record applies to the whole county.

The county's file runs to May 29, 2026, and the twelve months below are measured back from that last recorded sale rather than from today. County sales are filed weeks after they close, so a window ending today would always end in a stretch of calendar the record has not reached.

Does the shoreline change the Indianola number?

5 of the 14 Indianola sales in this window were coded waterfront by the Assessor. That is too few to publish a waterfront median beside the inland one, so the figure above counts both together.

Saying so matters more than it looks. A median that mixes the shoreline with the streets behind it describes neither, and a seller inland who reads a number lifted by a handful of waterfront sales as theirs has been given the wrong picture of their own house.

Whether a particular parcel is coded waterfront, and who owns the tideland below it, is on that parcel's own record. The sold record splits the whole county both ways.

What are Indianola houses actually like?

The county holds a dwelling and a recorded lot size on 771 parcels under an Indianola address. The middle one was built in 1991, has 1,671 square feet of finished living area, and sits on 0.32 acres.

All of them are in unincorporated Kitsap County: there is no city of Indianola for a house to be inside. That decides which office holds the permit file and which rules a sale answers to.

This is the building stock rather than the market: it counts every parcel the county has a dwelling on file for, rather than the ones that sold. It does not move when the market does, which is what makes it useful for a community where few houses change hands in a year.

Where is Indianola?

Indianola is unincorporated and has its own public port district, the Port of Indianola. The Suquamish Tribe describes the Port Madison Indian Reservation as allocated in two parcels, the Indianola Parcel and the Suquamish Parcel.

The county files Indianola addresses under one ZIP code, 98342. That postal boundary is what this page means by Indianola, and it is what a reader means by it too. It is not the Assessor's neighbourhood labels, which are things like Beach Drive and McCormick Village, and it is not the city limits.

Which ferry terminal is nearest Indianola?

The Kingston terminal, 2.8 miles away as the map measures. These sail from it:

• Edmonds / Kingston Scheduled crossing 30 minutes.

About that distance. It is a straight line between two mapped points, not a drive. Roads on this peninsula bend around a great deal of water, so the drive is longer than the line, often considerably. Read it as which terminal is nearest, not as how long it takes to get there.

Why it belongs on a page about selling: every visit to the house that comes from across the water arrives on a boat. A showing, the inspector, the appraiser, a contractor giving a bid, each one is scheduled around a sailing, so grouping them into a few windows usually beats scattering them across a week. That is what the sailing times change about selling a house here.

Terminal and sailing details read from the Washington State Department of Transportation's ferries service on 2026-08-10. Schedules change seasonally; check WSDOT's own timetable before you plan around one.

Which school district is Indianola in?

One: North Kitsap School District. Every part of Indianola's postal geography falls inside it.

• North Kitsap School Districtwww.nkschools.org

Boundaries from the U.S. Census Bureau, which maintains them with the districts themselves. Which district a specific address is in, and which school a child at it would attend, are two different questions: attendance areas are drawn by each district's own board and can be redrawn yearly. Confirm with the district before anyone relies on it. A free Home Record resolves the district for one parcel rather than for a postal boundary.

What is in Indianola itself?

What the town has, each named as its operator names it.

• Port of Indianola District No. 7a Washington public port district · Listed by the Kitsap County Auditor among the county's port districts.
• Indianola Beach Improvement Cluba nonprofit · Runs a clubhouse available to the community.

Indianola has no Kitsap Regional Library branch of its own; the district's nearest branches are in the larger towns around it. Worth knowing before you assume one is walkable.

What happens in Indianola each year?

These recur, and each was checked against its own organiser:

• Indianola Dayseach July, run by Indianola Beach Improvement Club. Includes a sandcastle competition and the club's stunt night.

No dates appear here on purpose. Each organiser publishes its own current dates, and a date copied onto this page would be wrong by the following year. Anything we could not confirm was still running was left off, including two well-known Kitsap events that have lapsed or paused.

What would a 1% listing fee come to in Indianola?

On the Indianola median of $695,000, a 1% listing fee is $6,950. One percent of any price is that price with two digits moved.

The Indianola median recorded in the twelve months to May 14, 2026, and arithmetic on it. The right-hand columns are arithmetic on the price, not a claim about what any other firm charges.

About the comparison rate. The second column is a worked example at 3%, not a statement about what any other firm charges. Commission rates are negotiable between a firm and its client and are not set by law or by any trade association; every firm sets its own, and so does Lorraine.

A listing fee is one line of a sale. The seller also owes Washington's graduated state excise tax, which is $7,951 on a sale at that median before the local excise tax the city or county adds, plus title, escrow and the loan payoff. Those are set out one at a time in what it costs to sell a house in Washington, and the fee arithmetic itself in what a 1% listing fee comes to.

The median is the middle of what sold. It is not a valuation of any particular house, including yours; what your own house is worth comes out of the sales actually nearest it, which is what a Home Record assembles.
