Ohio home sales experienced a slight increase in July 2025, according to new data from Ohio REALTORS. Sales for the month reached 12,330 units, representing a 2.2% rise compared to July of the previous year, when 12,061 homes were sold. The average sale price statewide was $275,000, up 6.1% from $259,000 in July 2024.

Inventory also saw growth during this period. Total active listings increased to 36,810 in July 2025, compared to 32,871 in July 2024 and 29,512 in July 2023. This represents an annual increase of nearly 12%, suggesting that more sellers are entering the market.

The supply of homes rose as well. Ohio recorded a housing supply of 3.56 months in July—an improvement of about 11% over last year—though it remains below the six-month benchmark typically considered a balanced market between buyers and sellers.

"The Ohio housing market is showing early signs of stabilizing as more inventory becomes available,” said Ohio REALTORS President Michelle Billings. “Buyers are seeing more choices, but sellers still benefit from historically strong pricing. The remainder of 2025 could bring more balance between buyers and sellers, although we are still seeing demand outpacing supply. An Ohio REALTOR serves as a professional partner, guiding buyers and sellers through the intricate process of home buying and selling, to successfully achieve their housing goals.”

Ohio REALTORS is the state’s largest professional trade association with over 35,000 members.
