“My experience working with Aaron was an absolute pleasure. His local knowledge and experience made my journey easy. I recently moved to the area and I had plenty of questions ranging from the nearest grocery store to the nearest urgent care. Aaron was very up to date on every city we looked at. He was very patient and responsive. If I called or texted no matter the time or day within minutes Aaron would reply. He walked me through every step along the way even after closing. Aaron is a true professional going above and beyond what was expected. You can tell he loves what he does. I would recommend Aaron to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. Aaron is a 5 star top realtor.”

Latest Monthly Snapshot
September 2026
Monthly Pricing Trends for Knox County
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly Inventory and Sales Activity for Knox County
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Inventory in Knox County has opened up compared with last year, with active listings up nearly 12 percent and months of supply rising more than 26 percent to 3.3 months. Even with that added choice, contract activity looks healthy, as homes sold climbed about 9 percent year over year while pending sales increased just over 8 percent.
Pricing is responding to this mix of stronger inventory and steady demand, with the typical home value up almost 7 percent from a year ago and the median list price rising more than 12 percent. Sellers are still achieving strong results overall, as the average sale-to-list ratio is just over 98 percent and the share of homes selling above list price has edged slightly higher than last year.
Time on market has shortened notably, with the median days on market down about 13 percent year over year to 53 days, showing buyers are acting more decisively than they did a year ago. Compared with Ohio as a whole, Knox County’s home values sit higher than the statewide median and inventory has expanded at a faster pace, highlighting a market that favors sellers but offers more room for buyers to negotiate. In this kind of balanced-yet-firm environment, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands the latest Knox County trends.

“We can’t say enough good things about Carlton, Sarah, and the Shaffer Group! A good friend of ours recommended them after they helped her sell her condo, and we’re so glad we took her advice. We interviewed a few agents before making our decision, and choosing Carlton and Sarah was absolutely the right move. It was Important to us that we had a high degree of confidence and trust in the agents selling my mom's home in Dublin, Ohio, as the prospect of moving and getting the home on the market was stressful for us living out of state. Carlton and Sarah walked us through everything and made recommendations that, honestly, made us a little nervous at first. They suggested new carpet, paint, and a few other larger expenses, and we had to trust that the investment would pay off. Looking back, we couldn’t be happier that we listened to them! They made it super easy and took care of everything even going as far as returning our routers to the cable provider to help us out. Their stager did a breathtaking job; it was beautiful the way they presented the home. Even with the market slowing, we received three offers and sold the house for $50,000 over asking price! We were thrilled, and we truly believe the outcome was a direct result of the time, effort, and attention to detail the entire team put into preparing and marketing the home. What really stood out to us was how well they communicated and how much they genuinely cared. We always felt informed and knew we had people in our corner who wanted the best possible outcome for us. What could have been a stressful experience turned into something we could actually enjoy. We know there are a lot of good real estate agents out there, but Carlton, Sarah, and the Shaffer Group are in a league of their own. We’re incredibly grateful for everything they did for our family, and we’ll gladly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. They truly go above and beyond, and we couldn’t have asked for a better team!”
“Could not have asked for a better agent!”
“Nickie was great to work with. She worked diligently to find a house that worked for our special needs. She helped to navigate through issues that came up and went to bat for us to get us into the perfect house. She is very friendly and caring and I would recommend her for your next home buying experience!”
“Thank you Guy for helping me buy my first home!”
“You won’t find a realtor as dedicated as Dustin. He will answer as many questions you can throw at him. He responds fast, and is always available! If you want a realtor that is as serious about your buy/sell process as you he’s your pick!”
“Scott is an INCREDIBLE real estate agent! He helped my wife and I navigate a complex sale-contingent purchase in a tough housing market. Ranging from tight closing timelines, contract legal reviews, to complex escrow provisions, Scott puts in the WORK, leverages his deep connections in the industry to make things happen FAST, and doesn't rest until he delivers the best possible outcome for his clients, communicating in real time the whole way. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Scott to anyone I know!”
“"My first agent was unable to sell the home, but then Niko stepped in and got it sold quickly and effortlessly. Because of his exceptional service and results, he earned my full confidence, and he has since successfully sold several other properties for me. Highly recommended!"”
“We love Jennifer! She is super nice and great to work with. We bought our new house and are excited to list the current house with her. Will definitely reccommend her for anyone we know looking to move!”
“Crystal has been wonderful to work with in finding our new home. She has been very responsive and resourceful with helping us going through the process of finding and purchasing our new home. We highly recommend Crystal if you are looking for a reliable realtor. Thank you Crystal.”
“My partner and I bought our first home this July with Ashley's help, and she was incredible at every step of the way! Very knowledgeable, friendly, and responsive anytime we had questions or concerns. She was happy to go over things with us at each stage, which really helped to make the process feel less overwhelming. We also felt very safe and confident as an LGBT+ couple looking for a house with her guidance. I've already recommended her to other friends of ours and will continue to do so!”
“Working with Jessica and the Webb team made the daunting prospect of selling our house feel totally doable. She went over everything with us upfront so we knew exactly what to expect, kept in touch with us throughout the process so we knew exactly where we were at, what was expected of us, and what she was handling at all times. As first time sellers we had a lot of questions and Jessica made sure we got answers as quickly as possible. The Webb team is very efficient and professional in how they streamline the process of getting a house on the market, and they did an amazing job with ours. Would rate ten stars if I could!”
“Working with Sean was an absolute dream from start to finish! Selling a 5,000 sq. ft. home on 9 acres felt like a massive undertaking, but Sean got me full asking price and managed all the communication so I never had to worry about a thing. When it came to finding my new home in the suburbs, his patience was unmatched—he walked through more than a dozen houses with me until we found 'the one.' He is attentive, incredibly hard-working, and genuinely cares about delivering top-tier results. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!”
“As first-time home buyers in the US, we started this process with big hopes but didn't know much about how it worked, and we feel fortunate to have had Adam in our corner. He was very patient with our endless questions at all hours, even on holidays, and took the time to answer them in detail. We genuinely looked forward to the house-hunting trips and the interesting conversations we had with him along the way. When we ran into a rough patch with our original lender and had to switch, Adam helped us navigate the process and gave us the confidence to keep going, ensuring the contract didn't fall through. We're extremely grateful for his help and will be recommending him to all of our friends and family who are looking to buy or sell in Ohio.”
“The best! We have bought and now sold with Antonio and wouldn’t use anyone else in central Ohio!!! Professional, above and beyond, realistic and hardworking are just a few of the adjectives we would use to describe him and his company”
“My husband and I recently bought a house and sold our condo with Craig Balster as our realtor and we have nothing but wonderful things to say about our experience working with him! Craig’s calm demeanor and guidance, support and expertise made both processes move forward with ease. Craig was very patient with us throughout the journey and was always available to answer any of our questions and quick to schedule showings for us on all homes we were interested in viewing. If you find yourself in need of a realtor, look no further than Balster Realty Group!”
“Cindy has helped me buy and sell multiple homes. She is highly motivated, energetic, knowledgeable, and very helpful above and beyond what you might expect from any realtor. Cindy and her team assisted in every step of the process from prepping the house for showings through to moving into my new home. I would highly recommend working with Cindy. She was a pleasure and a wealth of knowledge and made my buying and selling experience so very easy. Thank you Cindy!”
“First time buyer and no clue what I was doing! Jennifer was very understanding, answered all my question and had great communication! At closing I received a thoughtful gift from her for my business which was a very nice surprise! I would happily refer buyers to her as she made everything very easy.”
“We had an amazing experience working with Tracy who immediately recognized our interests and goals wanting to move half way across the country from New England to Ohio to live closer to our children who settled there over 5 years ago after college. She understood the uniqueness that we were looking for in a home as we were swapping mountain views for the Ohio terrain. She is very knowledgeable with all the towns we were interested in as this is her home as well, and we are so lucky to have met and worked along with her. My son is up next - and is working with her on a new adventure as well. Thank you, Tracy!”
“Tracey and Todd have been a great help with everything when it came to selling my house and finding my new home. Will always use them. Will also look to them for advice they were great to work with. Great team work.”
