Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Akron is currently tilted toward sellers, with the market gauge indicating a seller’s market and only 2.8 months of supply in this rolling three-month view through September 2026. Limited inventory relative to demand helps keep prices up, as the typical home value has climbed about 10 percent compared with a year earlier.
Looking more closely at price and pace, the typical home value is just under $155,000 while the median list price is slightly lower, and nearly half of homes go off market within two weeks. Even with some cooling from last year’s intense conditions, roughly one-third of recent sales still closed above list price and homes are spending a median of 29 days on the market.
On the activity side, about 708 homes sold and 927 new listings came on the market in this recent three-month stretch, both only modestly different from a year ago. Pending sales have eased by about 6 percent year over year, suggesting buyers are a bit more measured even as sellers still hold the advantage, and Agent Pronto can help both buyers and sellers connect with an agent who understands these dynamics.
Akron offers residents a balanced mix of affordable neighborhoods, thriving arts and culture, robust local employment, plentiful parks and outdoor recreation, and a welcoming, community-focused spirit with easy access to regional amenities.
Akron offers a practical mix of affordability, accessibility, and city amenities that appeals to long‑time residents and newcomers alike. Located within easy driving distance of Cleveland and Canton, it provides a manageable commute while maintaining its own strong employment base in healthcare, education, and advanced manufacturing.
Everyday living is straightforward. Neighborhoods range from historic homes near Highland Square to quieter residential streets in Wallhaven, with convenient access to groceries, healthcare, and schools. The METRO RTA bus system supports car‑light living, and major routes like I‑76 and Route 8 keep regional travel simple.
Outdoor options are a standout. Residents enjoy the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail for biking and running, and quick access into Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Inside the city, Akron Metro Parks and local gems such as Goodyear Heights and Kenmore provide green space close to home.
Cultural and family amenities include performances at E.J. Thomas Hall, exhibits at the Akron Art Museum, and the central Akron-Summit County Public Library downtown. Dining and local coffee shops are clustered in Downtown Akron, with more options in nearby Merriman Valley.
Because each neighborhood has its own character, local market knowledge matters. A trusted Akron real estate agent can clarify school options, commute tradeoffs, and resale potential, helping both buyers and sellers reduce stress and move forward with confidence through Agent Pronto.

“Linh was wonderful to work with throughout our home search journey and process! Very personable, responsive, and had our best interests as first-time home buyers in mind. We highly recommend Linh as a real estate professional to anyone looking for a similar experience as we did.”

“This review has been long overdue! I worked with Alfath last year to purchase an investment property in Columbus, Ohio, and had a really good experience. Being an out-of-state investor, I needed someone who knew the local market well and could be my eyes and ears on the ground. Alfat did a great job with that, including visiting the property, recording videos, and helping coordinate everything remotely. What I also appreciated was his local network. He connected me with a property manager, lender, inspector, and attorney, which made the whole process much easier, especially since I wasn’t able to visit the property in person. Overall, it was a smooth experience, and I would definitely recommend Alfat to anyone looking to purchase an investment property in the Columbus area, particularly out-of-state investors.”
“Chris was above and beyond! She actually picked out the house we ended up purchasing. Very good with communication, she is flexible and down to heart. We need more people like Chris in this world! You won't be disappointed!!!!!”
“Sarah did an outstanding job in helping us find a home. She was readily available to answer the phone or help with any questions we had. She seemed to have knowledge of the area, and knowledge of what needs to happen to buy a home. She was eager to help the process along and keep things moving. If I had to buy another home I would definitely be giving her a call.”
“Walt was incredible! He was professional while also making us feel like we knew what we were doing in purchasing our very first home. We have been in our house now for a month and absolutely love it. We are so grateful to have had someone with so much insight, knowledge and care for what he does. Most definitely recommend!”
“Nick helped me sell my home after I moved out of state. He went above and beyond to check on the house multiple times, meet with potential buyers, and set everything up, making my life super easy. He took care of all the small things and made sure everything was in order before closing. I recommend him 100% and will be referring him to all my friends in the area that need help buying or selling a home.”
“We had a very good experience working with Dominic. He was professional, responsive, and helpful throughout the entire process.

“I had an excellent experience working with Ebony during the purchase of my home. She was extremely professional, efficient, responsive, and supportive throughout the entire process. The title company caused several issues and sent us documents with mistakes, which made the closing process much more complicated than it needed to be. Ebony went above and beyond to help me with the paperwork, identify the errors, and make sure the documents were corrected properly. She was always there to answer my questions and help move everything forward. I truly appreciate Ebony’s dedication, patience, and attention to detail. She made a stressful process much easier and always had my best interests in mind. I highly recommend Ebony to anyone looking to buy a home. She is knowledgeable, reliable, hardworking, and genuinely cares about her clients. Thank you, Ebony, for all your help and for making this experience a successful one!”

My whole family felt very comfortable with her and knew we were in good hands during the stressful process of home buying/selling. Highly recommend.”
“I knew when looking for a house that I needed someone I would feel comfortable giving my candid commentary to while also trusting their professional advice. Steve was always attentive and present, pointing out the finer details when we walked through each house. He never pressured me to settle for a house that wasn’t right for me. When I finally found my home, he pulled out all the stops to help make it happen. I’m so grateful to finally be in my own home, and I’m incredibly thankful for Steve’s support, guidance, and encouragement throughout the entire process. Thank you, Steve!”
“Jenny is amazing! She is diligent and dependable. She cares about her Clients and always makes herself available when needed. Jenny guided us through the buying process and was knowledgeable of the market. I can't say enough good things and am sincerely grateful for her!”
“Suede did a fantastic job at explain everything to me as a first time home buyer. He was quick with getting information and working with me as I lived in a different city. He worked efficiently to make sure me and my family are set up for success.”
“Exceptional Agent! Melody is hands-down one of the best in the industry! I have worked with multiple agents over the years, and her personal "concierge" style of service exceeded expectations I didn't even know I had! Her communication with us was always same day if not immediate, and was very clear in her responses. She showed us houses right away (mostly same day), and was genuinely excited for our family to find a new home which was so refreshing! She cared about our needs/wants and put our interests front and center. She also wasn't afraid to let us know about potential problems of a house, even if I initially loved it. She was honest with us about everything, and that put my husband and myself at ease knowing we can trust that she was telling us the truth about everything. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, scared and confused about what to do next, Melody made our house hunting fun, laid-back and exciting! We could rest easy and focus 100% on finding the perfect home for our family, knowing she had everything covered. Lender? Check. Local market knowledge? Check. Negotiation skills, home knowledge, inspection requirements? Check Check Check! Melody worked with us so efficiently that we were able to find a home and have an offer accepted just days after we started our search! We were so impressed, we will be using her as our listing agent to sell our old home! We truly appreciate how simple and enjoyable she made the entire process, and highly recommend her for all your real estate needs!”
“Brian was amazing. My husband & I had never sold a home before. He was very patient and explained each step of the process. He had so much knowledge and experience to make this emotional process as smooth as possible.”
“Landy is very dedicated to getting people in their new home. She spent a lot of time assuring our requests were met. We still update her months after our purchase to show her how the new house renovations are going. She's very personalable and kind. Thank you for making the house hunt an easier experience!”
