Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Stark County real estate market. *
August 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 (Aug 2026).
Inventory in Stark County has edged down slightly, with active listings dipping about 2% from last month but still running nearly 4% higher than a year ago. Contract activity has cooled month over month, as homes sold fell by about 22% and new listings and pending sales also pulled back, signaling a slower late-summer pace.
Pricing is holding up despite that softer flow, with the typical home value up just over 3% year over year even after a modest month-to-month decline in August. At the same time, the median list price has climbed more than 7% compared with last year, suggesting sellers are still confident about what buyers will pay.
Conditions still favor sellers, as Stark County sits in a seller’s market with only about two months of supply compared with roughly 2.8 months statewide in Ohio. Homes are moving in just three weeks on median and more than 42% are closing above list price, with the average sale-to-list ratio now slightly over 100%, so buyers need to be prepared to act quickly and negotiate smartly while sellers must price carefully to capture demand, and Agent Pronto can help both sides find a local agent who knows how to navigate these trends.

“I cannot express how great our experience working with Michael E. Teggart was. My husband and I reached out to Michael before I even moved to Ohio, and his knowledge of the local market was a major factor in our decision to work with him. He was helpful, trustworthy, and professional throughout the entire process, as well as a skilled negotiator once we were under contract. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone, especially first-time homebuyers. He balances his expertise with patience and diligence, taking the time to understand what his clients are looking for while helping them find properties that fit both their needs and their budget. We always felt that he had our best interests in mind and were incredibly grateful for his guidance throughout our home-buying experience.”

“Guy has helped us purchase three homes and sell two. There's no one else we would use or recommend. He has always been reliable, easy to reach, and extremely knowledgeable. He made sure we weren't wasting our time and kept us within our budget while getting the most for our money. He is very patient and not pushy at all. Guy genuinely wanted to make sure we would be happy with the homes we chose, never rushing us into a decision. In both buying and selling, we always knew Guy had our best interests in mind.”
“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”
