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).
Portage County is currently tilted toward sellers, with the market gauge signaling a seller’s market and just 1.6 months of supply available. Homes are moving at a median of 25 days on market, and more than half of listings go off-market within two weeks, highlighting strong buyer demand.
Prices show solid momentum even with some recent softening, as the typical home value is up over 10 percent year over year while the median list price has risen nearly 7 percent. At the same time, the share of homes selling above list has edged up from last year to nearly 40 percent, and the average sale-to-list ratio is close to 100 percent, indicating buyers are paying near asking prices.
Supply and activity have both expanded, with active listings slightly higher than a year ago and new listings up more than 11 percent year over year. Sales volume is surging, with homes sold jumping nearly 39 percent and pending sales up more than 11 percent compared with last year, and Portage County’s inventory is tighter than Ohio overall, where months of supply is 2.8. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these conditions can turn to Agent Pronto to be matched with a local real estate agent who fits their needs.
