📈 Strong Sales Growth in Northwest Ohio: What It Signals for Cleveland & Beyond

While Cleveland and the Northeast corner of Ohio usually steal the headlines, Northwest Ohio’s housing market just lit up in July—and it's a signal we shouldn't ignore.

According to the latest data from Northwest Ohio REALTORS®, sales activity jumped nearly 11% year-over-year, and the momentum could spill into neighboring markets like ours.

Let’s break it down and talk about what it means for you—whether you’re buying, selling, or just watching from the sidelines.

🔥 July Market Highlights from NW Ohio

• Home sales increased 10.9% year-over-year (1,037 homes sold in July 2025)

• Average sales price rose 5.4% to $214,765

• New listings climbed 3.9% compared to July 2024

• Homes spent slightly more time on the market—average of 45 days, up from 38

💡 Why This Matters in Northeast Ohio

While these numbers are from Toledo and surrounding counties, they often mirror broader statewide trends—especially in similarly priced markets like Lorain, Medina, and Lake counties.

In short:
➡️ Buyers are still active
➡️ Inventory is moving
➡️ Sellers are gaining leverage again

🧠 What Buyers Should Do

• Don’t wait for prices to drop—they’re holding steady

• You might have a bit more time to make decisions, but the best homes are still going fast

• Get fully underwritten, not just pre-approved

💰 What Sellers Should Do

• A well-prepped, well-priced home will still move fast—especially under $400K

• Inventory is creeping up, so presentation and timing are key

• Want to sell this fall? Start the prep now
