Here’s What to Know About the 2025 Market
The Cleveland real estate market has shifted a lot over the past few years — and if you're thinking about selling, you're probably wondering whether now’s the right time, what buyers are looking for, and how to make the most of your sale.
Here’s a quick, honest breakdown of what’s happening in Cleveland in 2025, and what you should keep in mind if you're planning to sell.
1. Demand is Still There — But Pricing Matters More
Buyers are still active, especially in neighborhoods like Lakewood, Ohio City, West Park, and parts of Shaker Heights. But they’re more selective. Interest rates have settled a bit, but affordability is still a factor.
That means pricing your home right from the start is key. I’ll help you review recent sales and local trends so you can list with confidence (and avoid sitting on the market too long).
2. Condition + Presentation = More Offers
In today’s market, homes that feel “move-in ready” — even if they’re older — are standing out. That doesn’t mean you need to renovate. It means:
Cleaning and decluttering
Making small repairs
Great listing photos that show your home at its best
We can walk through your space and figure out what’s worth doing — and what you can skip.
3. Timing Can Still Work in Your Favor
Spring and early summer are always popular times to sell in Northeast Ohio, but serious buyers are out all year. If you’re not sure when to list, we can talk about your timeline and build a plan that works for you — whether that’s in 30 days or 3 months from now.
4. You Don’t Have to Figure it Out Alone
Selling a home comes with a lot of questions. Should I fix this first? What if I don’t have a next place lined up yet? What happens after I accept an offer?
That’s where I come in — to walk you through it all, explain each step, and make sure nothing gets missed. No pressure. No fluff. Just honest advice and a plan that fits your goals.
