Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Putnam 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).
Putnam County home values have edged down over the past year, with the typical sale price off a few percent compared to last September. Listing prices are also lower year over year, even though sellers recently nudged asking prices higher month over month. Homes are moving faster than a year ago, as median days on market has dropped sharply.
In the latest September snapshot, the typical home value sits around the mid-$200,000s while the median list price is slightly lower, suggesting some room for negotiation. Sales activity picked up from August, with homes sold rising by about a third and new listings jumping by roughly two-thirds, yet closed sales are still running below last year’s pace.
Inventory has grown modestly from last month, but months of supply is just 2.5, keeping Putnam County in seller’s market territory and tighter than Ohio overall, which sits closer to three months of supply. Buyers face limited options and quicker timelines, reinforced by a high share of homes going under contract within two weeks and nearly one-third selling above list price. Since the county’s prices are below the statewide median and conditions are shifting month to month, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with a local agent who understands this evolving market.
Putnam County offers residents a friendly, close-knit community with reliable services, affordable living, abundant outdoor recreation, and a growing mix of businesses and cultural opportunities that support families, workers, and retirees.
Putnam County stands out from nearby areas like Lima and Findlay with its strong small‑town identity and close‑knit communities tied together by agriculture, local industry, and long‑running family businesses. Towns such as Ottawa and Leipsic offer a quieter pace than larger regional hubs while still providing essential services, schools, and everyday conveniences.
Residents enjoy a full calendar of local events, from festivals at Putnam County Fairgrounds to summer sports at village parks and youth leagues. Outdoor enthusiasts can explore nearby Ottawa Metro Park in Allen County or stay closer to home at places like Fort Jennings Memorial Park. Families appreciate access to quality schools such as Ottawa-Glandorf Local Schools and Continental Local Schools, while local libraries and community centers anchor daily life.
The county’s villages support local restaurants and cafes, with residents often making short drives to Defiance or Bowling Green for expanded dining, shopping, and entertainment options. Public services are coordinated through the Putnam County government, providing information on roads, permits, and community resources that matter to homeowners.
Whether you are planning to list a long‑owned farmhouse or buy your first place near the schools, timing and preparation are crucial in this steadily active market. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a knowledgeable Putnam County real estate agent who understands local trends and helps you move at the right moment.

From the very beginning, Matt stood out with his incredible availability and responsiveness. No matter the hour, he was always quick to respond to our texts and emails, making the entire home buying process smooth and stress-free. Matt's expertise goes far beyond the basics of buying a home. He was exceptionally knowledgeable about the functionality of various home systems and was able to answer our numerous questions with ease. His insights were invaluable, helping us understand not just the immediate details but also the long-term considerations of home ownership. One of the aspects we appreciated most about working with Matt was his honesty and transparency. He didn't hesitate to point out faults and potential issues with properties we were considering, ensuring we had a clear and accurate understanding of what we were getting into and always looking out for our best interests. We never felt pressured; Matt wasn't just trying to get us into a house. It truly felt like he was our partner in finding the perfect home. Thanks to Matt, we felt confident and well-informed throughout the entire process. We are thrilled with our home and grateful for his dedicated support. We will be recommending Matt Wielgos to all our friends and family, and we urge anyone in need of a reliable, knowledgeable, and honest realtor to reach out to him. You won't be disappointed!”

“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!”
“It was very helpful in narrowing down the right real estate agent for me; I found Michael Teggart and couldn't be more pleased. He was everything you want in an agent and more.”
“I can’t recommend my real estate agent enough! They helped me both buy and sell a home, and made the entire process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Buying and selling can be a lot to deal with, but having someone who knows what they’re doing, communicates well, and genuinely has your best interests at heart makes all the difference. They were great to work with from start to finish, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. If you’re looking to buy or sell a home, do yourself a favor and give them a call. You won’t regret it!”
