Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Lake County real estate market. *
September 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
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).
Lake County currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge at 30 indicating a seller’s market despite some signs of easing. Months of supply has risen to 2.2, up sharply more than 30 percent from a year ago, suggesting buyers have more options than they did last year.
Home values are pushing higher, with the typical home value around $264,000 and up more than 11 percent year over year, outpacing the statewide gain of about 6 percent. At the same time, the share of homes selling above list has slipped to about 31 percent and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 100 percent, pointing to pricing that is still firm but slightly less aggressive than earlier in the year.
On the activity side, inventory has grown compared with last year, with active listings up nearly 10 percent while homes sold are down about 4 percent, hinting at a bit more breathing room for buyers. Median days on market has edged down to roughly a month, and about 48 percent of homes go off the market within two weeks, so well-priced homes still move quickly. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these crosscurrents can turn to Agent Pronto to be matched with an agent who understands Lake County’s latest trends and dynamics.
Lake County offers residents a balanced blend of natural beauty, outdoor recreation, strong schools, and welcoming communities with convenient access to amenities, supporting an active, connected lifestyle.
Lake County sits along the Lake Erie shoreline and offers a practical balance of commuter access, outdoor recreation, and everyday conveniences. The county’s communities, including Mentor, Willoughby, and Painesville, connect easily to Cleveland via I‑90 and public transit, making it a strong option for both local workers and those with regional commutes.
Residents enjoy extensive lakefront access at places like Headlands Beach State Park, one of the state’s largest natural sand beaches, and Fairport Harbor Lakefront Park, popular for kayaking and family outings. Lake Metroparks maintains an impressive network of trails, golf courses, and nature centers, such as Penitentiary Glen Reservation, supporting an active lifestyle year round.
Daily needs are straightforward, with a range of shopping centers, medical facilities, and schools such as Lakeland Community College providing education and workforce training. Dining options span casual lakefront spots to established local favorites, and cultural stops like the Lake County Historical Society add depth and context to the area.
Housing choices run from established neighborhoods to newer developments, varying widely in price and style. Navigating these options, local taxes, school districts, and changing market conditions can feel complex. A knowledgeable Lake County real estate agent helps simplify decisions, anticipate issues, and reduce stress. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with the right local expert to make the process smoother from start to finish.

“Linh was wonderful to work with throughout our home search journey and process! Very personable, responsive, and had our best interests as first-time home buyers in mind. We highly recommend Linh as a real estate professional to anyone looking for a similar experience as we did.”
“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.”
“This review has been long overdue! I worked with Alfath last year to purchase an investment property in Columbus, Ohio, and had a really good experience. Being an out-of-state investor, I needed someone who knew the local market well and could be my eyes and ears on the ground. Alfat did a great job with that, including visiting the property, recording videos, and helping coordinate everything remotely. What I also appreciated was his local network. He connected me with a property manager, lender, inspector, and attorney, which made the whole process much easier, especially since I wasn’t able to visit the property in person. Overall, it was a smooth experience, and I would definitely recommend Alfat to anyone looking to purchase an investment property in the Columbus area, particularly out-of-state investors.”
“Chris was above and beyond! She actually picked out the house we ended up purchasing. Very good with communication, she is flexible and down to heart. We need more people like Chris in this world! You won't be disappointed!!!!!”
“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.”
“We worked with Sean for both buying and selling and had a good experience! Knowledgeable and trustworthy. We have since moved away but recommend him in the cle area.”
“Adam was professional and was easy work. He had a thorough approach to the sale of our home and helped us through the process the entire time. He was quick to return texts and keep us informed. I would highly recommend Adam to everyone wanting a great experience selling their home.”
“I had an excellent experience working with Ebony during the purchase of my home. She was extremely professional, efficient, responsive, and supportive throughout the entire process. The title company caused several issues and sent us documents with mistakes, which made the closing process much more complicated than it needed to be. Ebony went above and beyond to help me with the paperwork, identify the errors, and make sure the documents were corrected properly. She was always there to answer my questions and help move everything forward. I truly appreciate Ebony’s dedication, patience, and attention to detail. She made a stressful process much easier and always had my best interests in mind. I highly recommend Ebony to anyone looking to buy a home. She is knowledgeable, reliable, hardworking, and genuinely cares about her clients. Thank you, Ebony, for all your help and for making this experience a successful one!”
“I knew when looking for a house that I needed someone I would feel comfortable giving my candid commentary to while also trusting their professional advice. Steve was always attentive and present, pointing out the finer details when we walked through each house. He never pressured me to settle for a house that wasn’t right for me. When I finally found my home, he pulled out all the stops to help make it happen. I’m so grateful to finally be in my own home, and I’m incredibly thankful for Steve’s support, guidance, and encouragement throughout the entire process. Thank you, Steve!”
“Jenny is amazing! She is diligent and dependable. She cares about her Clients and always makes herself available when needed. Jenny guided us through the buying process and was knowledgeable of the market. I can't say enough good things and am sincerely grateful for her!”
“I had the best experience ever purchasing my house in Madison with Mellisa Harford. She guided me through all the steps. Told me the process and what to expect ahead of time. I had such an amazing experience I will only ever use the Harford Team for any real estate needs! 5 star experience and when I’m ready to upgrade homes I’ll be reaching out for sure!!!”
“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.”
“Jeff was great!!! He always replied in a timely manner (usually immediately) to texts and calls. No question was annoying or trivial to him. He was very good about constantly keeping us in the loop, helping us through any hurdle and was ALWAYS on our side as the seller. Even when the buyers' agent tried to circumvent the system and lied, he stayed professional and trustworthy. He also helped us find people to donate items that we were not going to take with us by putting out an email to people in his church and helped US help others with items that we were going to have to throw out or deliver to charity, ourselves. We HIGHLY recommend him!!!! GREAT JOB, JEFF!”
“Josh made the sale of our Lyndhurst home as seamless as possible! He was informative from the start- I interviewed two realtors before I met with Josh. They wanted to list much lower than what we felt comfortable with. I reached out to Josh & we went over the comps in the neighborhood. We agreed it was worth more than what we were previously told. We listed at a price we were comfortable with, and we had multiple offers at asking price in the first weekend of going live on the MLS! Throughout the process he always had great communication & was such a joy to do business with. After accepting the offer, the deal was closed within 30 days! Highly recommend!!!”
“We went into this with a bad taste in our mouth from a former realtor who left us untrusting of realtors. Ericka was transparent, fun, and made the whole process easy. She went above and beyond for us and we will DEFINITELY use her again when we buy our next house. She restored our faith in the realty profession. Thank you Ericka!”
“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!”
“Working with Andy Bourn was an outstanding experience from start to finish. He showed us homes in Stow, Kent, Akron, and Tallmadge and helped us understand the pros and cons of each area. His knowledge of the Northeast Ohio real estate market, strong communication, and negotiation skills made the entire process smooth. If you’re looking for a top Realtor in Summit County, Andy Bourn is who you want representing you. We cant thank him enough. Andy will definitely be our forever realtor.”
“Josh was very professional and considerate of our situation when we look for a house. We were 3hrs away and he would find more options for us to look at during our trip.”
“Megan is absolutely amazing. She has helped both my mom and I find homes and it has been seamless. She is very knowledgeable, responsive and was available whenever I needed her. She gave us honest opinions and factual information while taking into account the things we wanted most in a home. Her kindness is unmatched and she treats her clients with the utmost respect. She makes you feel comfortable and confident in your decisions but doesn’t pressure you or rush you to do anything. I would highly recommend Megan to any friend or family member looking for a home.”
