Cleveland Home Prices Jump 15.9% in August 2025 — What That Means for Buyers & Sellers

In August 2025, the Cleveland housing market saw a significant leap: the median sale price hit about $144,900, up 15.9% year-over-year. Homes are still moving quickly averaging 31 days on market, just a bit slower than last year. Price per square foot also jumped, reflecting rising demand in many neighborhoods.

For buyers, this trend means competition is heating up. The homes that often sell fastest are priced right, in desirable locations, and in good condition. If you’re shopping now, success often comes to those who are prepared preapproved, ready to act, and flexible on features. Time spent deciding can cost you opportunity.

For sellers, this kind of price growth is a signal: you may be able to capture premium offers, especially if your property shows well. But don’t let that lull you into complacency presentation, pricing strategy, and marketing execution still make all the difference. Homes that feel stale or outdated won’t rise to the same premium.

This isn’t a market for indecision. The pressure is real. If you’re wondering whether now is the right moment to buy or sell, let’s talk through your data, your timeline, and what options make sense.
