Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Amherst’s rolling three-month data through September 2026 points to moderate price growth over the past year. The typical home value is up about 6% year over year, even as the median list price has fallen by roughly 11%. Active listings and homes sold are both down compared with a year ago, indicating fewer options and slightly softer turnover.
In the most recent three-month window, homes have been selling notably faster than a year earlier. The median days on market is down to 15 days, about a 10% year-over-year decline, and nearly half of homes are going off market within two weeks. Supply remains tight at just 2.1 months of inventory, underscoring ongoing seller leverage despite a small year-over-year dip in this metric.
Pricing dynamics show some cooling from last year’s peaks but still reflect firm demand. Roughly one-third of homes sold above list price in the latest period, while the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 100%, suggesting buyers are paying close to asking even as bidding wars ease slightly. Pending sales have risen about 5% year over year, hinting that buyers are still active despite fewer new listings coming on. Whether you are a buyer navigating limited choices or a seller trying to price correctly, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local Amherst agent who understands these trends.
Amherst offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community with excellent parks, strong schools, and easy access to outdoor recreation—a balanced blend of small-town charm and everyday practicality.
Amherst stands apart from nearby Lorain and Elyria with its small city scale and strong hometown identity that still feels closely connected to the Lake Erie corridor. Tree lined streets, established neighborhoods, and an active local calendar give the community a sense of continuity that appeals to long time residents and newcomers alike.
Historic downtown Amherst is a daily hub, with local dining, shops, and community events centered around its sandstone heritage. The walkable core includes favorites like Cork Tree Tavern and independent boutiques that make errands and evenings out feel personal. Families appreciate the well regarded Amherst Exempted Village Schools, which anchor much of the community’s youth sports and activities.
Recreation options are easy to access. Residents enjoy green space at Maude Neiding Park and trails at Beaver Creek Reservation, while Lake Erie and Lorain County destinations are a short drive away. The Amherst Public Library and city run programs create additional connections among neighbors of all ages.
With steady regional demand and a mix of classic homes and newer construction, timing and preparation matter for both buyers and sellers in Amherst. Partnering with the right local agent through Agent Pronto helps you understand micro market trends, navigate competition, and move confidently whether you are listing your home or purchasing your next one.

“Christy went above and beyond with helping me to prepare, repair and sell this property. She was always professional and honest in her communications. I recommend her highly!”
“I've now bought two homes and sold one with Carly. She's been great everytime and went above and beyond everytime with everything. Definitely couldn't of done it without her! I would/ will recommend her to anyone.”
“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.”
“Leann is the best. She helped me purchasing my home. Everything went fast and smooth. This was my first house so she helped me understanding lots of terminology and walked me through every step so I wasn’t stressed about this huge step in my life. She was very friendly and patient with me from the beginning till the end. I trust her 100% and I did not feel any pressure from her”
“We had a very good experience working with Dominic. He was professional, responsive, and helpful throughout the entire process. He was always available to answer our questions and kept us informed along the way. We appreciated his help in making the home-buying process go smoothly and would recommend him to others looking for a realtor.”
“Christina was amazing to work with. She was communicative, down to earth, and extremely helpful. She never pressured and was always available to answer any questions that came up. 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.”
“Working with Laura Marotta to purchase our new home was the best decision we could have made! My daughter had recommended Laura as her family used her to purchase their home and were very impressed her. We were equally impressed by Laura’s professionalism, deep understanding of the current Shaker Heights market and her understanding what we were looking for in a home as we were moving from Connecticut and new to the Cleveland area. She made the entire process stress-free, was always responsive to our questions and looking out for our best interest. She took care of every detail from dealing with a Title Agency, purchasing contracts and revisions, what to look out for and what would be reasonable request made to the sellers. She delivered exactly what she promised. We couldn't recommend her enough to anyone looking for a dedicated agent consider her a good friend.”
“I truly can’t recommend Ericka enough—she went above and beyond for me throughout the entire process. As a first-time homebuyer, I needed a lot of guidance, and she was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and transparent every step of the way. If you’re looking in the Lakewood + surrounding area, she is your best bet. I moved to Kamms Corner/West Park area. What really stood out was how well she knows what to look for in a home. During my inspection, she walked through the house with me and pointed out things—and the inspector ended up calling out the exact same items. That gave me so much confidence knowing I had someone that sharp in my corner. She never let me move forward unless it was the right decision and made sure I fully understood everything along the way. On top of all that, she’s just genuinely cool and easy to work with, which made the whole experience so much better. If you’re looking for someone who will advocate for you, keep it real, and make sure you’re making smart decisions, she’s the one!”
“Zach did a great job showing me homes that I was interested in and was very helpful through all stages of the home buying process. Zach was easy to contact and got back to me very fast with any questions I had.”
“Michael helped me and my family find our forever home to raise our children and make memories in. Our home wasn’t one that was even on our radar and he found it and we trusted him even though we were unsure after seeing the listing. Upon seeing the house we were immediately in love and knew it was the home for us. If it wasn’t for him we wouldn’t have this home and for that we are forever grateful. He’s extremely personal and I really would recommend him to anyone and everyone.”
“Highly Recommended Realtor! We had an amazing experience working with our realtor. They were professional, patient, and always quick to answer our questions. They guided us through every step and made the entire process incredibly smooth. Because of Alison Banks, the whole process was so smooth, we had no problems at all, and we were able to move into our new home very quickly. We truly appreciated their honesty, dedication, and the way they always provided clear and helpful advice. We are very grateful for their hard work and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank You! Godbless”

His professionalism, attention to detail and market knowledge were top notch! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”
“We recently had the absolute pleasure of working with Chris and the Frederick team to sell our home in Cleveland Heights (May 2025). As first-time sellers, we truly could not have been happier with Chris as our realtor. He is EVERYTHING you would expect and more. Smart. Efficient. Responsive. Our home photos/video were beautiful and professional. Our listing drew a lot of attention and we sold far above what we initially expected (being in a seller's market also helped, of course). He has a whole family-based team behind the scenes doing a fantastic job. We were so lucky to have found Chris out of the many good and bad realtors out there! Don't hesitate, because you're honestly working with the best when it comes to the Frederick team.”
“Justin did an amazing job with assisting me through the purchase of my new home. Justin maintained professionalism and patience. Justin made sure I had the best deal to fit my needs. He always made sure to have properties lined up for showings. If looking for an agent look no further Justin won't stop until you find the home for you”
“Meagan is very friendly and super easy to work with. She really advocates well for her clients and gives great advice. Was patient with me through the homebuying process as it took me placing offers on several different properties before finally being accepted. If I ever consider moving in the future, I will definitely be going through her again. 10/10 experience”
“My experience with Agent Pronto was better than I ever expected. My agent was great! She was always professional, always available, and she made any bump that came up smooth and easy. She had all the local contacts needed to get my property ready to sell. She did a great job presenting the property to potential buyers, which resulted in a quick sell. I would recommend Aimee and Agent Pronto to anyone! They are a great team! Thank you ALL!”
