Ohio’s Housing Market Steady in September as Prices Rise and Inventory Expands

Ohio’s Housing Market Grows in September as Prices, Sales, Inventory Increase

Oct 23, 2025

Ohio’s housing market grew in September, with both sales and prices rising as more homes became available to buyers, according to the latest statewide housing data from Ohio REALTORS®.

Statewide home sales reached 11,562 in September 2025, marking a 7.5% increase from the 10,743 homes sold in September 2024. The median sales price across Ohio climbed to $260,000, up 4% from $250,000 a year ago.

“September’s numbers tell a story of consistency and confidence in Ohio real estate,” said Ohio REALTORS® President Michelle Billings. “Buyers are eager to invest in homeownership, and sellers are responding to that demand with more listings hitting the market. Ohio continues to offer value, stability, and opportunity for consumers across the state and nation. 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.”

Active listings reached 34,745 in September 2025, a 2.1% increase yearly, compared to 34,033 in September 2024 and 30,639 in September 2023. This is welcome progress as inventory has been tight in recent years.

Ohio recorded 3.35 months of housing supply in September, up 1.2% from last year. Although inventory continues to rise, the market remains in seller’s territory, as six months of supply is considered balanced between buyers and sellers.
