Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Aug 2026).

Inventory in Defiance County is relatively lean, with 136 active listings in August and months of supply down sharply year over year. New listings rose almost 19 percent from last year, and pending sales jumped nearly 30 percent, signaling strong buyer demand. Closings also increased about 15 percent compared with a year ago, underscoring an active flow from listing to contract.

Prices are adjusting alongside this activity, with the typical home value down about 8 percent year over year even as the median list price is up slightly over 3 percent. Sellers are still achieving near-full asking prices, as the average sale-to-list ratio is essentially at 100 percent and about 40 percent of homes sold above list, up modestly from last year.

Homes are taking longer to sell than a year ago, with median days on market rising to 61 days, but supply remains tighter than the Ohio overall figure of 2.8 months. Compared with the state’s higher typical sale price, Defiance County offers a more affordable option while still showing healthy buyer interest. With low inventory, shifting price patterns, and varied time-on-market experiences from one property to the next, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in connecting with a local agent who understands these conditions.

“I cannot express how great our experience working with Michael E. Teggart was. My husband and I reached out to Michael before I even moved to Ohio, and his knowledge of the local market was a major factor in our decision to work with him. He was helpful, trustworthy, and professional throughout the entire process, as well as a skilled negotiator once we were under contract. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone, especially first-time homebuyers. He balances his expertise with patience and diligence, taking the time to understand what his clients are looking for while helping them find properties that fit both their needs and their budget. We always felt that he had our best interests in mind and were incredibly grateful for his guidance throughout our home-buying experience.”

He made sure we weren't wasting our time and kept us within our budget while getting the most for our money. He is very patient and not pushy at all. Guy genuinely wanted to make sure we would be happy with the homes we chose, never rushing us into a decision. In both buying and selling, we always knew Guy had our best interests in mind.”

“Beth was a dream to work with. We were buying our first home and got honesty and truly good advice, something that no other realtor we toured with gave anything close to. It seemed like other realtors just wanted to do what they could to sell any property, meanwhile she listened and searched and helped every step of the way in finding a home that was tailored to our best interests. 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. I recommend Beth to everybody, and she will be the first and only person I recommend to any of my friends/family that are looking to purchase a home. I really cannot say enough about how responsive she was and how she was always on top of things. 11/10”
