Northeast Ohio Housing Market Data - Updated Monthly
Track real housing market conditions across Lake, Cuyahoga, Ashtabula, and Geauga County. That is the same data Rob uses to price and position homes that need work. Updated on the 1st of every month.
Lake County Market Data
Lake County prices rose 1.7% year over year to a median of $259,000 (Redfin, trailing 3 months ending July 2026, the newest county window published as of the October 2026 update). Homes are selling in about 23 days, and buyers typically pay about 100.3% of asking price at sale, confirming above-list results for well-positioned homes. Active inventory holds near 518 listings, and regional tracking shows inventory and months of supply edging higher, so fast, competition-driven positioning matters more than ever.

Cuyahoga County Market Data
Cuyahoga County prices rose 8.6% year over year to a median of $234,000, with homes spending about 28 days on market, up from 26 days a year ago, and roughly 30% selling above list price (Redfin, trailing 3 months ending September 2026, the newest window Redfin has published for the county as of the October 2026 update). Local reporting (cleveland.com) put the suburban single-family and condo median at $236,400 for the first half of 2026, the Homes.com August 2026 Greater Cleveland report shows the metro median sale price up 6.4% year over year, and Zillow's August 31, 2026 update pegged the county's average home value at $223,555, all confirming continued price growth. Its large inventory pool around 1,700 active listings means sellers need a strategy to stand out. With regional inventory and months of supply rising through late 2026, list-and-wait won't cut it here.

Geauga County Market Data
Geauga County remains the region's highest-priced market, with a median sale price of about $403,000 in the three months ending July 2026, up 4.8% year over year, and that window is still the newest Redfin has published for the county as of the October 2026 update. Homes spend about 29 days on market, and buyers typically pay about 99.6% of the asking price on average, up 0.8 points from a year ago. Redfin's county listings show about 141 active homes as of August 2026, up from 106 in FRED's April release, so well-priced and well-marketed homes continue to draw strong buyer competition even as regional supply edges higher.

Ashtabula County Market Data
Ashtabula County remains the region's most affordable entry point, with a median sale price of about $182,000 that is down roughly 9% year over year (Redfin, trailing 3 months ending May 2026, still the newest county window published as of the October 2026 update). Homes take longer to sell here at about 42 days, up from 36 a year ago, and most sell about 3% below list price at a 97.0% list-to-sale ratio. Zillow's July 31, 2026 snapshot put the county's average home value at $184,924, up 6.7% year over year. Active inventory holds around 425 listings, giving buyers more choice and reinforcing why a competition-driven strategy matters here. The 5-Day System is designed to create buyer competition that works in any market condition.
