“Incredibly patient with us as we searched listings; we looked forward to Micheal's frequent listing emails, and really appreciated it when he gave us a heads up on properties that would be listed soon. Always arrived promptly at showings. Communicated clearly throughout. In the end, Micheal was outstanding in the offer process, worked really well with our lender and other providers, and was frank with us when necessary. Hope to be in our home a long time, but would absolutely recommend to anyone looking in Cincinnati. It was a pleasure to work with Michael Teggart.”

Year over year, Athens County’s typical home value in August 2026 is up sharply, rising about 25 percent to $298,900, compared with a much smaller statewide gain of just over 4 percent. At the same time, active listings have increased more than 18 percent from last year, giving buyers more options than they had a year ago.
Looking at the latest monthly snapshot, sales activity has cooled, with homes sold down about one-third from last August and new listings also trending lower. Even with fewer sales, prices have moved higher recently, jumping more than 30 percent from July, while the median list price has fallen from last month and sits well below the typical sale price.
Inventory conditions have shifted noticeably, with months of supply surging to 5.9, more than double the statewide level of 2.8 months. Homes are spending a median of 48 days on the market, and about 22 percent are closing above list price with an average sale-to-list ratio near 99 percent, showing that well-priced properties still draw solid demand.

She was easily the most responsive person we dealt with throughout the entire transaction and gave so much advice/guidance for anything that I asked.
