The average listing price was $524,289 though the average sales price was much higher at $530,081. Buyers and investors should move quickly over the next few months before prices increase further. They must remain open to the possibility of paying over asking price for the most desirable homes in the area.

Bentleyville

The city consistently ranks among the best places to live in Northeast Ohio due to its proximity to Lake Erie. Bentleyville also offers some of the most coveted waterfront homes in Cuyahoga County. The market will continue to be desirable for buyers who want to experience lakeside living in a laid-back environment.

Redfin considers the Moreland Hills housing market “somewhat competitive” with some homes getting multiple offers. The most desirable properties can sell for nearly 5% above list price.

Following these trends, buyers can expect competition for the best priced properties in the area over the coming months. They should be willing to negotiate and make a strong offer to secure their dream home.
