Is Cleveland Still a Seller’s Market in 2025? You Might Be Surprised.

📈 Is Cleveland Still a Seller’s Market in 2025? You Might Be Surprised.

National headlines are saying “It’s a buyer’s market.” But if you’re in Cleveland or Northeast Ohio, that’s not exactly the case.

According to Redfin, we’re one of just seven major U.S. metros still considered a seller’s market right now. There are simply more buyers than sellers here—and that’s not something most of the country can say.

📊 The Numbers Don’t Lie

In the Cleveland metro area, there were around 6,659 active sellers vs. 8,855 buyers as of April. That’s 24.8% more buyers than listings—ranking us #4 in the nation for tight seller competition.

What’s that mean? If you’re selling, you’ve still got leverage. If you’re buying, you’ll need a strong strategy.

🔥 So, What’s Fueling This?

  • Inventory is still low

  • Desirable suburbs (Strongsville, Broadview Heights, Medina, etc.) are still hot

  • Mortgage rates are keeping some sellers on the sidelines—making existing homes more competitive

Bottom line? If your home is priced right and marketed well, it’s going to sell—and likely attract multiple offers.

💬 Thinking of Selling?

Now might be the perfect window before more listings hit the market this fall. If you’ve been on the fence, don’t wait until it’s too late to take advantage of the seller leverage you still have.

Don't panic—but don’t go in unprepared either. In this kind of market, the right offer with the right agent can make all the difference. I’ve helped buyers win homes under asking—even in a seller’s market—because we had the right plan.
