Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Stark County real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Inventory in Stark County is relatively tight, with 536 homes for sale and only 1.9 months of supply, signaling conditions that favor sellers. Contract activity is solid but cooler than last year, as 336 pending sales and 297 new listings reflect slower flow alongside notable year-over-year drops in both new listings and pending deals.
Pricing is edging upward in response to this limited supply, with the typical home value at about $220,000 and up 4.76 percent from a year ago. List prices are reacting even faster month to month, as the median list price of roughly $224,900 has climbed more than 7 percent, while projections show both typical values and list prices ticking a bit higher into March.
Homes are taking longer to go under contract, spending a median of 47 days on the market, and about 18.8 percent of sellers are cutting prices even as roughly 28 percent of sales close above list. Compared with Ohio overall, Stark County offers more affordable typical values than the state’s $253,000 level, but with less inventory than the 23,493 listings available statewide. Buyers can use metrics like the 0.98 sale-to-list ratio to gauge negotiation room, while sellers can lean on the strong seller’s market reading of 16 on the local market gauge, and Agent Pronto can help both buyers and sellers connect with an agent who understands these conditions.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
