Cleveland Home Prices Soar: 15% Growth. What Buyers Should Know

The latest Redfin data shows something that’s hard to ignore: home prices in Cleveland are up 15.2% year-over-year, with the median sale price hitting $144,000 as of August 2025. Homes are still moving fast—averaging just 30 days on the market. That kind of price growth tells us demand is staying strong, inventory is still tight, and buyers are stepping up.

But this doesn’t mean the door is closed. It just means strategy matters more than ever.

For buyers, it’s all about being prepared. Have your pre-approval ready, know your budget inside and out, and be ready to act when the right property hits. Flexibility is your friend and so is having an agent who knows how to spot opportunity when it pops up.

For sellers, this is a golden window. If your home is in good shape, shows well, and is priced smart, you’re going to get attention. But don’t just toss it on the market and hope, you want the right eyes, the right marketing, and a strategy to drive offers.
