ZIP 44512 Housing Market & Real Estate Update — February 22, 2026

ZIP 44512 (Boardman/Youngstown area, Mahoning County, Ohio) is showing mixed signals: some indexes still point to year-over-year value growth, while recent closed-sale data looks softer.

Top takeaways

Zillow’s ZIP-level value index is up year over year, but Redfin’s recent median sale price shows a year-over-year dip.
Inventory looks active for late winter, with listings ranging from entry-level homes to larger move-up properties.
Days-on-market metrics remain in the ‘several weeks’ range, so pricing and condition matter more than last spring.
Rents look steady, with Realtor.com showing a $900 median rent in its latest ZIP snapshot.

Market snapshot (latest available by portal)

Zillow (data through Jan 31, 2026) shows a typical home value around $189,851, up 6.4% over the past year, with 103 homes listed for sale and a 34-day median time to pending.

Redfin (Jan 2026) puts the median sale price near $189K, down 3.3% year over year, with homes selling in roughly the 50-day range on average.

Realtor.com (reporting period: Dec 2025) reports a $178,750 median home price, 46 active listings in its ZIP market dashboard, and an average 63 days on market (plus a 98% sale-to-list ratio).

Why the differences? Each site uses different data sources, definitions, and cut-off dates. The best read is the direction of travel: watch if price cuts rise and if days on market start stretching.

What’s for sale nearby (without the addresses)

Today’s browsing on Realtor.com shows about 100+ active results in 44512. The mix includes condos, smaller single-family homes that can work for first-time buyers, and higher-end listings that tend to sit longer unless they are updated and priced tightly.

If you’re shopping, keep an eye on: (1) recent price reductions, (2) inspection-ready condition (roof, HVAC, foundation), and (3) whether the home has been on the market long enough to justify a stronger offer.

Rentals & small investors

Realtor.com’s latest ZIP snapshot shows a $900 median rent and 25 rental listings in 44512. If you’re a landlord, this is a good time to audit winter maintenance (ice dams, furnace performance, and minor water leaks) before spring turnover season.

Mortgage-rate reality check

Rates can move week to week, so pre-approval (or an updated rate quote) matters more than headlines. Ask lenders to price both a standard 30-year fixed and any local credit-union options, then compare the full fee sheet.
