Ohio home sales, prices, inventory all rise in October
Ohio’s housing market strengthened in October, with both sales and home prices on the rise as more inventory opened up for buyers, according to the latest statewide housing data from Ohio REALTORS®.
Statewide home sales reached 11,662 in October 2025, marking a 3.8% increase from the 11,224 homes sold in October 2024. The median sales price across Ohio increased to $262,000, up 5.6% from $248,000 the previous year.
“October’s numbers show steady momentum and growing confidence in Ohio real estate,” said Ohio REALTORS® President Michelle Billings. “Buyers remain motivated to invest in homeownership, and sellers are meeting that demand with increased listing activity. Ohio continues to deliver value, stability, and opportunity statewide. 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 36,825 in October 2025, a 6.6% increase year-over-year, compared to 34,525 in October 2024 and 30,941 in October 2023. This marks continued improvement after several years of tight supply.
Ohio ended October with 3.53 months of housing supply, a 4.8% increase from the same period last year. While inventory is improving, the market still favors sellers. A six-month supply is generally considered a balanced market.
