Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Aug 2026).
Portage County is currently tilted toward sellers, with the market gauge signaling a seller’s market at 28. Tight supply is a key driver, as months of supply has dropped about 37 percent year over year to just 1.6, notably leaner than Ohio overall at 2.8 months.
Pricing shows a mix of stability and slight softening. The typical home value is roughly $294,000 and is essentially flat compared with last year, while median list prices are down nearly 4 percent year over year, hinting that sellers are adjusting expectations to meet buyers.
Activity on the ground highlights strong demand despite shifting inventory. Homes now go under contract more quickly, with median days on market down to 22 and more than 39 percent of recent sales closing above list price, up over 6 percentage points from a year ago, even as pending sales and new listings both declined year over year. In this kind of fast-moving but supply-constrained environment, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an experienced local agent who knows how to price, market, and negotiate effectively.

“Jenny was awesome to work with. She made it super easy for me to purchase my new home and even easier for me when she put up my house for sale. She walked me through everything explaining the process. This was my first home I've sold, so I really didn't know much about how everything works. From start to finish she was very accessible to me and worked hard at making sure all my needs were met and questions answered. I appreciate all her hard work and her professionalism. She was a pleasure to work with and I would definitely use her again and refer her to anyone looking for a realtor!”

“Incredibly patient with us as we searched listings; we looked forward to Micheal's frequent listing emails, and really appreciated it when he gave us a heads up on properties that would be listed soon. Always arrived promptly at showings. Communicated clearly throughout. In the end, Micheal was outstanding in the offer process, worked really well with our lender and other providers, and was frank with us when necessary. Hope to be in our home a long time, but would absolutely recommend to anyone looking in Cincinnati. It was a pleasure to work with Michael Teggart.”

“We were hesitant to purchase a new home in a new state after a rough experience before. Tracy reassured, listened, explained, comforted, and fought for us every single step of the way. She was real and honest and genuine from day one. She surpassed our expectations and showed us that house buying can be a worthwhile adventure. All of our family and friends already know what a true Rockstar she is and continues to be. And bonus points, fantastic personality. Thank you, Tracy... for everything.”

“Beth was a dream to work with. We were buying our first home and got honesty and truly good advice, something that no other realtor we toured with gave anything close to. It seemed like other realtors just wanted to do what they could to sell any property, meanwhile she listened and searched and helped every step of the way in finding a home that was tailored to our best interests. She was easily the most responsive person we dealt with throughout the entire transaction and gave so much advice/guidance for anything that I asked. I recommend Beth to everybody, and she will be the first and only person I recommend to any of my friends/family that are looking to purchase a home. I really cannot say enough about how responsive she was and how she was always on top of things. 11/10”
