How about some housing stat updates? I'm going to start off with two areas. The first one covers zip code 44135 in the south of Lorain, West of W 150th and Fairview City border area.

IN THE LAST 30 DAYS:
15 homes sold.
The high sale price was $149,900 and the lowest sale price was $33,400.

the AVERAGE sale price to listng price was $97,907 List Price and $94,282 Sale Price.

It's also good to know how many people are currently looking to buy in the area. A good barometer for that is homes under contract but not yet closed. There are currently 17 homes in this category. The average listing price per square foot for these homes is $75.83 (we'll see how that number stands once we know sale prices which won't happen till they transfer title). The lowest listed house that went under contract in 44135 was $48,000 and the highest list price more current buyers liked was $199,000.

2nd area is 441111 North of Lorain, West of W 150th and to the Lakewood and Fairview borders.

IN THE LAST 30 DAYS:
12 homes sold.
The average price per square foot for these sold homes was $99.17. The average number of days they were on the market before going under contract and then selling was 105.

The Highest sale occurred on an Edgecliff home for 215k. The lowest sale price was for a home on Montrose at 59,900.

The average sale price for these 12 homes was $133,033 which was close to the average list price of $133,942.

What homes did buyers most recently decide they wanted to buy? 12 homes (12 is a lucky number this month!) are under contract and waiting to close. The average listing price per square foot for these 12 homes is $90.02. The Highest listed price for a home recently under contract was $189,900 and the lowest was $49,900.

I'll keep you informed on future months as we get there! any questions DM me and I would be very glad to get you answers!

Northeast Ohio home sales slowed during July; price growth also softened (interactive maps)

General all Cuyahoga County info, but it's useful in a general way. You can check sales results and compare them to other counties in Ohio (but keep in mind some counties are more rural with less sales in general). The average sale price in Cuyahoga County for the month of July was $161,326.
