Ohio’s August 2019 Home Sales
 Ed Cyrek, 2019 President, Lorain County Association of REALTORS®
“The Ohio housing marketplace is remaining resilient, as sales activity levels for the year nearly match the pace set a year ago,” said Ohio REALTORS President Anjanette Frye. “Not only are sales levels exhibiting stability, we are also experiencing a steady rise in the average sales price – good news for current and would‐be buyers as housing is a solid, long‐term investment.” August’s average home price of $198,912 reflects a 5.2 percent increase from the $189,049 mark posted during the month last year. Sales in August reached 15,438, a 2.0 percent decrease from the 15,759 sales recorded during the month a year ago. Through the first eight months of the year, sales activity has nearly matched the level posted in 2018. Sales from January through August reached 103,038, a negligible 0.5 percent decline from the 2018 level of 103,532 sales. Around the state, 14 of the 18 markets tracked reported upswings in average sales price in July, while seven posted gains in sales activity.
