emax reports that Cleveland’s median home price rose 10.9% from $230,000 in October 2024 to $255,000 in October 2025, the largest year‑over‑year gain among U.S. metros. Even with this surge, Cleveland remains one of the most affordable markets, ranking third lowest nationwide behind Pittsburgh ($246,000) and Wichita ($250,000). At $255,000, Cleveland’s median price is about 57 % of the national median of $445,000.
Other metros with strong gains include Bozeman, Montana (+10.5 %, $764,000); Burlington, Vermont (+9.3 %, $475,250); Kansas City, Missouri (+9.2 %, $355,000); and Providence, Rhode Island (+8.6 %, $505,000). Nationally, the median home price in October was $445,000, up 2.2 % from a year earlier.
In October, Cleveland listed 2,690 homes—5.8 % more than the previous year—and closed 2,139 sales, an 8.4 % increase. Homes spent an average of 34 days on the market, compared with the U.S. average of 50 days.
Linda LaFleur, broker and owner of Remax Crossroads Properties, said the market shows “real momentum.” She highlighted that nearly 11 % appreciation has kept prices high yet still affordable, enabling sellers to build equity while buyers can enter with confidence. This blend of rapid appreciation and affordability is rare among U.S. metros and positions Cleveland for continued strength into 2026.
