Akron OH Real Estate Market — What Sellers Need to Know

Akron is the county seat of Summit County, Ohio, and the former rubber capital of the world. Reviewed packet data now uses the Redfin Data Center Akron city rolling 3-month row ending 2026-04-30 as the primary city transaction source: median sale price $139,928 (+7.04% YoY), 554 homes sold, 36 median days on market, 97.16% sale-to-list, 24.59% sold above original list, 1,185 active listings, 760 new listings, and 692 pending sales. About 34.1% of Akron's housing units were built in 1939 or earlier per 2024 ACS Census data. This older stock — bungalows, American foursquares, colonials, and Cape Cods throughout Goodyear Heights, Kenmore, Firestone Park, and East Akron — carries Akron's rubber-era character and often carries significant repair needs.

Ohio sellers pay a conveyance fee rather than a transfer tax. Summit County charges $4.00 per $1,000 of sale price (rounded to next $100) plus $0.50 per lot, paid to the Summit County Fiscal Office Recording Division (175 S. Main St., 4th Floor, Akron OH 44308, Mon–Fri 7:30 AM–4:00 PM). DTE Forms 100 and 100(EX) required; forms received by 3:30 PM process same business day. Ohio uses judicial foreclosure; Summit County mortgage sheriff sales go online through RealAuction on Fridays at 10:00 AM.

On a $139,928 Akron median-sale home from the Redfin Data Center city row, a 5–6% agent commission runs about $6,996–$8,396. Add Summit County's conveyance fee (about $560 plus $0.50 per lot at that price), carrying costs during a 36-day median days-on-market window, and repairs to older housing stock. The same reviewed Redfin city row shows a 97.16% average sale-to-list ratio. A direct cash sale eliminates agent commissions and can reduce repair, showing, financing, and holding-cost friction; the specific written offer still depends on property condition, title, occupancy, and timing.
