Ohio's April Home Sales Slow, Prices and Inventory Show Gains

May 19, 2026

Ohio’s housing market continued to show signs of stabilization in April, with available listings increasing and home prices continuing to rise, according to the latest statewide housing data from Ohio REALTORS®.

Statewide home sales reached 10,535 in April 2026, marking a 3% decrease from the 10,856 homes sold in April 2025. The median sales price across Ohio climbed to $269,900 up 7.9% from $250,000 one year earlier.

“Ohio’s housing market continues to move in a positive direction for both buyers and sellers,” said Ohio REALTORS® President Mic Gordon. “The increase in available inventory is giving consumers more opportunities and flexibility, while rising home values reflect the ongoing strength and stability of real estate markets across the state. An Ohio REALTOR® serves as a trusted professional partner, helping buyers and sellers navigate each step of the transaction to achieve their housing goals.”

Active listings reached 35,037 in April 2026, a 5.5% year-over-year increase, up from 33,171 in April 2025 and 26,935 in April 2024.

Ohio ended April with 3.32 months of housing supply, jumping up 2.8 percent over April 2026. Six months’ worth of supply is typically considered a balanced market.

The April data highlights a market that is gradually becoming more balanced while still favoring sellers in many communities throughout Ohio.
