Ohio Home Sales Tick Up in July as Inventory Grows and Prices Hold Steady

Ohio’s home sales saw modest growth in July, while inventory rose and sale prices remained steady, according to the latest statewide housing data from Ohio REALTORS®.

July 2025 home sales increased 2.2% year over year, reaching 12,330 compared to 12,061 in July 2024. The average sales price across Ohio in July reached $275,000, a 6.1% increase from the $259,000 mark posted in July 2024.

"The Ohio housing market is showing early signs of stabilizing as more inventory becomes available,” says Ohio REALTORS® President Michelle Billings. “Buyers are seeing more choices, but sellers still benefit from historically strong pricing. The remainder of 2025 could bring more balance between buyers and sellers, although we are still seeing demand outpacing supply. An Ohio REALTOR® serves as a professional partner, guiding buyers and sellers through the intricate process of home buying and selling, to successfully achieve their housing goals.”

Total active listings reached 36,810, up from 32,871 in July 2024 and 29,512 in July 2023. This marks an 11.9% year-over-year increase, signaling growing seller confidence.

Ohio recorded 3.56 months of housing supply in July, an 11% increase from last year. While inventory is improving, the market remains tilted toward sellers, with six months considered balanced.
