Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Ross 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).
Ross County home prices eased month over month in September 2026, with the typical home value slipping about 4 percent even as the median list price jumped nearly 11 percent. Inventory grew as active listings rose almost 9 percent from August and months of supply climbed sharply to 4.7, signaling more options and slightly less urgency than earlier in the year.
Compared with a year ago, values are still higher, with the typical home value up just over 6 percent and the median list price about 12 percent higher. Buyer activity has cooled, as homes sold dropped nearly 24 percent year over year and pending sales declined a similar amount. Yet homes are moving a bit faster than last year, with median days on market down about 8 percent.
Conditions locally now lean more neutral than the broader Ohio market, where months of supply sits closer to three. Ross County’s rising supply and lower share of sales closing above list price, now just over 8 percent, indicate less bidding pressure than earlier periods. For sellers, pricing in line with recent trends and understanding how your home stacks up against increasing competition is key, while buyers may find more room to negotiate, and Agent Pronto can help both sides connect with an agent who knows how to navigate these shifting dynamics.
Ross County offers residents a welcoming community with abundant outdoor recreation, affordable living, and a strong sense of local heritage.
Ross County attracts buyers who value small city convenience, outdoor recreation, and a range of housing that fits different life stages. In and around Chillicothe, you will find historic homes near downtown, newer subdivisions with larger lots, and rural properties that appeal to those seeking privacy and space. Proximity to Columbus and Piketon also appeals to commuters who want a quieter home base.
Families appreciate the strong community focus around local schools and parks like Yoctangee Park, with its playgrounds, lake, and walking paths. Outdoor enthusiasts are drawn to nearby Great Seal State Park and Hopewell Culture National Historical Park, where hiking, history, and open space shape daily life. Cultural anchors such as the Ross County Heritage Center and the Adena Mansion & Gardens add to the area’s sense of place.
Housing prices and property types vary widely between downtown Chillicothe, suburban-style pockets near shopping, and the agricultural stretches of Ross County. Investors often look for multifamily opportunities near the historic core, while first-time buyers may prioritize move-in ready homes with manageable yards.
Because lifestyle and value can change from one road to the next, it pays to work with a real estate agent who understands neighborhood-level details and long-term trends. Agent Pronto helps both buyers and sellers connect with the right Ross County expert for their specific goals.

“Erica was amazing throughout our home buying journey. She was kind, cooperative, and went above and beyond to help us. From beginning to end, she stood by our side, fought for us, and used her excellent network connections to get things done. She also helped us with utilities and services, making the process much easier. We truly appreciate her dedication and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home.”
“Annette has been so very helpful with buying a new home. We are moving from out of state and she has helped us with locations by video. This saved us extra trips and time for our decision. Annette has made our home purchase so much smoother than we expected considering we have a time limit! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and sweet agent!”
“Loree did a great job as she has done in the past. Thank you”
“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!”
“"My first agent was unable to sell the home, but then Niko stepped in and got it sold quickly and effortlessly. Because of his exceptional service and results, he earned my full confidence, and he has since successfully sold several other properties for me. Highly recommended!"”
“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!”
“Toni is the absolute BEST. I always knew she had my best interest and went above and beyond to negotiate, make herself available, and help me find my dream home. I couldn’t have had a better experience. I would recommend her to everyone!”
“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!”
“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!”
“It has been an absolute pleasure working with Jodi through the sale and purchase of multiple properties! Every time she has been very accommodating, knowledgeable, and responsive as we navigated through the process! We have been so thankful and relieved to have her guidance in making confident decisions!”
“Brooke was amazing to work with! She taught me everything I needed to know about buying my first home. Her schedule was flexible which was important to me since homes were selling quickly. She coordinated well with other real estate agents to get my questions answered about the homes. Brooke is well connected and even suggested a home inspector and loan officer for me.”
“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.”
“It was fine. For our last five or six home purchases, we usually find homes to look at before any realtor contacts us. We then contact the realtor to get in to look at the property. I suspect most homes these days are purchased the same way. I think it's probably rare to find a realtor that actually actively seeks our homes and contacts you with possibilities. Most of them set up automatic searches that just push the new listings to you that fit your requirements. However, if you have special requests - like enough land to build a shop, or if the deed restrictions allow an outbuilding - it is our experience that realtors don't know the answers to those questions and usually can't help you find the answers. Nearly all the information they provide is available online now. I will say responsiveness helps if you find a local realtor, who doesn't have to drive an hour to show you a property.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Bought my second home now with Emily Morrison each time her knowledge & expertise has been of vital use to us. She goes above & beyond to get your home sold. She was able to secure our current home without evening being in contract at that point for our old home & then got top dollar for it. Her skill is truly unmatched.”
“Great really helped me, answered all my questions. Always able to be available when needed. Helped me find a good inspector. She is very pleasant and goes all out to help.”
“I was getting everything I needed. She gave me assistance, help, and hope. I am very happy and lucky with that agent for her professionalism and highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Caroline for everything you have done! ”
“He helped us sell the home for about the price we expected. Matt knows the Fairborn and Medway area, so if you’re looking for a house near WPAFB he’s the man to ask.”
