Inventory up year-over-year as days on market stretch; historic exterior grants move to review
Poland, OH – March 5, 2026 – Inventory is up year-over-year and listings are taking longer to sell, while pricing signals are mixed across major trackers.
Top takeaways
- More homes on the market: Realtor.com reports 99 active listings (December 2025), up 17.81% year-over-year.
- Pricing softened slightly on one metric: Realtor.com shows a median sale price of $339,950 (-2.59% YoY).
- Homes are sitting longer: Realtor.com lists a median time on market of 117 days (+30% YoY).
- Zillow shows annual gains: Zillow’s typical home value is $238,209, up 6.8% over the past year (data through Jan. 31, 2026).
Market snapshot
Recent data points point in different directions depending on the source and metric. On Realtor.com, the median price-per-square-foot is $174 (-1.69% YoY), aligning with the slightly lower median sale price. At the same time, Zillow’s value index indicates continued year-over-year appreciation through late January.
One clear throughline is time: with the median time on market rising to 117 days, buyers may encounter more listings that have been available long enough to invite closer scrutiny on condition, terms, and pricing. For sellers, the combination of higher inventory and longer marketing times can raise the stakes on presentation and initial pricing decisions.
Preservation & exterior upgrades
A local historic preservation grant cycle in Poland Village recently moved from the application window into the review phase. The deadline was Feb. 27, and the program offered up to $5,000 per parcel for eligible exterior improvements on homes 125+ years old. Recipients are expected to be notified by April 30.
What’s for sale or rent (examples from the current pool)
- For-sale example: A mid-$200Ks to low-$300Ks single-family home (2–3 beds) appears among current listings.
- Rental example: Single-family rentals around $1,200/month are available in the current pool.
Overall, the mix of higher inventory and longer days on market suggests a more deliberate pace, even as different pricing trackers tell different stories.
