ZIP 44681 Housing Market & Real Estate Update — February 24, 2026

ZIP 44681 (Sugarcreek area, Tuscarawas County, Ohio) continues to feel tight and competitive going into late winter. Recent closed-sale data shows higher prices year over year, and today’s visible inventory is still small enough that well-kept homes can draw quick interest.

Top takeaways

Prices are running higher: Redfin’s latest ZIP-level read shows a median sold price around $295K (up about 20% year over year).
Homes have been moving faster than last year, with median days on market around 10 days in the most recent reported month.
Inventory looks very limited across portals (single digits), which keeps negotiating leverage tilted toward sellers for move-in-ready homes.
Rates eased modestly: Freddie Mac’s weekly average 30-year fixed was 6.01% (Feb 19, 2026).

Market snapshot

Sales + pricing: Redfin reports the median sold price at $295,000 in November 2025, with 9 homes sold and a quicker median marketing time (about 10 days). Sale-to-list pricing was roughly 97.7%, a reminder that buyers can sometimes negotiate, but not always by much when a home is well positioned.

Inventory: Redfin’s for-sale view showed 3 active listings in ZIP 44681 at the time of this check. Realtor.com also shows very low active inventory (a handful of homes) and longer average days-on-market on its feed, which is common when different sites pull from different data sources. The shared signal: choices are limited right now.

New construction and land: Even when resale inventory is thin, the current mix of active listings includes at least one buildable lot and a higher-end home, which can be a clue that buyers are comparing existing homes versus building or buying acreage-style properties.

Mortgage-rate check (why it matters locally)

At a 6%+ mortgage rate, monthly payment math is still the main constraint for many buyers. If you’re shopping in the mid-$200Ks to low-$300Ks, even a small rate change can shift affordability or what you can offer without stretching.

What’s for sale right now (no addresses)

About $269,900: A 3-bed, 2-bath single-family home around 1,144 sq ft, with an eat-in kitchen and a lower-level living area.
About $519,900: A larger 4-bed, 3-bath home around 2,500+ sq ft, marketed for privacy and views, with features like a walkout lower level.
About $210,000: A roughly 1.9-acre residential lot positioned for a potential walkout-basement build (good to verify zoning, septic/well needs, and driveway access before you commit).
