Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Perry County real estate market. *
July 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 (Jul 2026).
Perry County currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge at 40 and inventory tighter than in Ohio overall. Months of supply sits at 4.1 locally versus 2.8 statewide, suggesting buyers have a bit more choice here than in the broader state. Homes are taking longer to sell, with a median 77 days on market, which further points to a more balanced feel despite the seller tilt.
Prices show mixed signals, giving both buyers and sellers something to consider. The typical home value is about $269,000 and is down around 7 percent from last year, while the median list price is up roughly 8 percent year over year, indicating sellers are still pricing with confidence. At the same time, only about 16 percent of homes are selling above list, and the average sale-to-list ratio is just over 97 percent, so buyers often have room to negotiate.
Activity picked up in July, even as prices softened. New listings jumped more than 30 percent from June and are up about 16 percent from last year, while pending sales climbed roughly 32 percent month over month and more than 20 percent year over year. Active listings are also slightly higher than a year ago, giving shoppers more options while sellers face a bit more competition. Whether you are buying and looking for value or selling and aiming to price strategically, Agent Pronto can connect you with a Perry County agent who understands these trends and can guide you through them.
Perry County offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community with affordable living, abundant outdoor recreation, rich local history, and accessible opportunities for families and small businesses to thrive.
Perry County stands apart from nearby urban centers like Columbus and Zanesville with its quieter pace, strong small-town identity, and deep rural roots. Communities such as New Lexington and Crooksville offer everyday convenience, while countryside roads lead to family farms, woodland views, and long-time neighbors who know each other by name.
Outdoor enthusiasts value access to places like Burr Oak State Park and nearby Wayne National Forest for hiking, boating, and camping. Families appreciate local schools such as New Lexington Schools and Northern Local School District, along with the community focus of the Perry County District Library. In towns like Corning and Somerset, long-standing churches, youth sports, and seasonal events create a sense of continuity that appeals to both lifelong residents and newcomers.
Housing here ranges from in-town bungalows to larger rural properties, often with more land or square footage for the price compared with larger nearby cities. That value can draw first-time buyers, remote workers, and retirees looking for space and a community-minded atmosphere.
Whether you are preparing to sell a long-held family home or hoping to move into the area while options remain relatively affordable, timing and preparation matter. Agent Pronto connects buyers and sellers with the right Perry County real estate agent to navigate inventory, pricing, and local market trends with confidence.
