Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Kent real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Kent’s housing market is moving quickly, with just 12 homes on the market in March 2026 and 16 new listings coming on. Even with this 9.09% rise in inventory from the prior month, only 1.1 months of supply and 14 pending sales signal strong demand relative to what is available.
Pricing is shifting as buyers and sellers react to these conditions, with the typical home value at about $240,000, down 6.69% from the prior month and 3.01% from a year ago. At the same time, sellers are asking a bit more, as the median list price climbed 4.17% month over month to roughly $250,000 and is projected to reach about $255,000 in April 2026.
Homes are taking longer to secure a buyer, sitting a median of 39 days on the market, which is up 30% from last month and 56% year over year, and about 41.67% of listings saw a price drop. Still, roughly 27.27% of homes sold above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio is near 0.99, supporting Kent’s “Seller’s Market” label compared with Portage County’s higher typical value of about $261,950 and larger inventory of 207 homes. Whether you are a buyer trying to navigate these mixed signals or a seller aiming to price correctly, Agent Pronto can connect you with a Kent agent who understands this market.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

Families appreciate the resources of Kent City Schools and community programming through Kent Parks & Recreation.
