Even with the largest year-over-year increase in median sale price, homes in Cleveland remain among the most affordable of any U.S. metro. Cleveland’s median home sale price of $255,000 ranks third-lowest in the U.S. behind Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania ($246,000) and Wichita, Kansas ($250,000), according to Remax.
“What we’re seeing in Cleveland is a market with real momentum,” said Linda LaFleur, broker/owner of Remax Crossroads Properties. “Prices have risen nearly 11% over last year, yet continue to rank among the most affordable markets in the country. That combination of strong appreciation and accessibility is creating a healthy environment where sellers are gaining equity and buyers can still enter the market with confidence. It’s a unique position that sets Cleveland up for continued strength as we move into 2026.”
Overall for the month of October, Cleveland saw 2,690 home listings, a 5.8% YoY increase, and 2,139 closed transactions, an 8.4% YoY increase, per Remax. Homes listed for sale in Cleveland spent an average of 34 days on the market, compared to 50 days on average among U.S. cities.
