“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!”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Year-over-year, Mount Vernon’s rolling three-month home values have inched up, while listing prices have edged slightly lower. Typical home value is almost flat compared with last year, but median list prices are down a bit, suggesting sellers are pricing more cautiously. Inventory, however, has grown over the past year, giving buyers more options than they had before.
Looking at the latest rolling three-month period ending in September 2026, the market shows a mix of cooling activity and improving balance. Active listings are up more than 10 percent from a year ago, while homes sold and pending sales are both down year over year, pointing to softer demand. Months of supply has nearly doubled compared with last year, rising to 3.2 months, and homes are selling faster, with median days on market dropping from 57 to 41.
Pricing dynamics reflect this shift toward a more moderate seller’s market. Only about 23 percent of homes sold above list in the recent period, down from roughly one-third in some earlier years, and the average sale-to-list ratio sits just under 99 percent. At the same time, over half of homes still go off the market within two weeks, highlighting that well-priced properties can move quickly. In this evolving environment, both buyers looking for value and sellers aiming to maximize their returns can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with a local Mount Vernon agent who knows the numbers behind these trends.
Learn more about what Mount Vernon has to offer.
Mount Vernon offers residents a neighborly, arts-forward community with ample parks, a walkable downtown, strong schools, and a steady calendar of local events that celebrate history and small-town character.
Mount Vernon stands apart from larger nearby communities like Columbus and Mansfield by offering a historic small-city feel paired with a truly active downtown. Brick streets, restored buildings, and local businesses surround the Public Square, where events and everyday errands overlap. The city’s size keeps daily life manageable, yet you still find quality coffee at Happy Bean Coffee Shop, creative fare at The Alcove Restaurant & Lounge, and performances at the restored Woodward Opera House.
Residents value access to the outdoors as much as the downtown scene. The Kokosing Gap Trail is a local favorite for walking and biking, and nearby Ariel-Foundation Park offers lakes, trails, and community events on reclaimed industrial land. Families look to schools in Knox County and local institutions like Mount Vernon Nazarene University for educational opportunities close to home.
Housing in Mount Vernon ranges from historic homes near downtown to newer subdivisions on the city’s edge and rural options in surrounding townships. Whether you are considering a move from Newark or already live across town, preparing early is important in this market. The right local real estate agent can help you time your purchase or sale, understand neighborhood trends, and navigate each step. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers in Mount Vernon with agents who know how to prepare for what comes next.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.

“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“If you're seeking an exceptional realtor to guide you through the often daunting process of buying your first home, Traci is the perfect choice. From the moment we met her, Traci's warmth and expertise put us at ease. As first-time homebuyers using a VA loan, we were nervous about the complexities, but Traci's extensive knowledge was invaluable. She explained every step with clarity and patience, ensuring we fully understood. Her dedication is unmatched; she was always available to answer our questions. Thanks to Traci, we are proud homeowners, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We’re thrilled to work with her again as we prepare to buy our next house. We wholeheartedly recommend Traci to anyone in need of a realtor who truly goes above and beyond.”
“Adam really helped my wife and I to get the house that was right for us. He was always quick to respond to questions, his answers were thorough and knowledgeable, and the process went much smoother than I expected. In a world of horror stories about buying a house, Adam defied expectations and made everything easy.”
“Racquel was absolutely GREAT to work with! Her professionalism and expertise made the whole process of marketing and selling our property painless. She answered my many questions patiently and offered extremely thoughtful advice many times during the sale. Late one Friday afternoon she even drove across town to retrieve a set of house keys! That's just one example of the several times she went "beyond the call of duty". Racquel is definitely who we'll work with in the future!”
“Scott and Jill did an outstanding job pricing and selling our house. It was on the market for just a few hours before we already had a buyer. From the Beginning to the closing we were keep informed of where and when we would close. We had the advantage of knowing Scott and Jill before as they also helped sell my sons house last year. I would not hesitate to use Scott and Jill again in the future if needed. Great team. Thanks again Scott and Jill for your help.”
“CJ is an excellent real estate professional and carefully guided through the process of finding a unique home that fit our needs. He and his team also stayed on top of all aspects of the process and collaborated to help overcome all challenges we ran into in the process. I highly recommend working with CJ for buying or selling your next home.”
“Shannon provided excellent knowledge and recommendations throughout the entire process. She helped guide everything from listing through negotiations of the sale. Overall, I was extremely pleased with Shannon's service.”
“Andy was very pleasant to work with and was very available to show homes. I had several areas that I was considering and sent Andy a list of homes. He immediately jumped on setting up times for showings, several places across several days, to find the home we were looking for. He was very quick to respond and had excellent communication. Once we found a place and went in contract, Andy continued to communicate with me and Seller's agent to make sure things were progressing as planned. Every home sale is different and can have their unique situations. Andy was helpful to give advice or work through some challenges that we had come up and kept us grounded during those most stressful moments. We made it to the closing table and are very much appreciative of Andy for getting us home.”
