Ohio REALTORS announced on May 19 that statewide home sales fell by 3% in April compared to the same month last year, while both home prices and available listings saw increases. According to the organization, there were 10,535 homes sold in April 2026, down from 10,856 in April 2025. The median sales price rose to $269,900, a gain of 7.9% from $250,000 one year earlier.
Mic Gordon, President of Ohio REALTORS, said: “Ohio’s housing market continues to move in a positive direction for both buyers and sellers. The increase in available inventory is giving consumers more opportunities and flexibility, while rising home values reflect the ongoing strength and stability of real estate markets across the state. An Ohio REALTOR serves as a trusted professional partner, helping buyers and sellers navigate each step of the transaction to achieve their housing goals.”
The number of active listings increased by 5.5% year-over-year to reach 35,037 this April compared with 33,171 last year and up from 26,935 two years ago. At the end of April there was a reported supply of 3.32 months’ worth of homes on the market—a level still below what is considered balanced but higher than previous periods.
The report indicates that Ohio’s housing market is gradually becoming more balanced but remains favorable for sellers in many communities across the state.
Ohio REALTORS supports its community through charitable efforts like scholarships via its foundation and represents more than 40,000 real estate professionals statewide; it aims to empower members with advocacy resources and high ethical standards through leadership elected from within its ranks according to the official website. The association operates across all counties through local boards and advocates for policies supporting property rights at both state and federal levels according to the official website.
