What the numbers say

As of October 26, 2026, Resideline is tracking 165 active listings and 8 pending sales in ZIP code 42101. That pending-to-active ratio of 0.05 makes it a slower-moving market: listings are going under contract more slowly than in most ZIP codes Resideline tracks, which usually gives buyers more room to negotiate.

The median asking price of current listings is $280,000, while the median of the 437 closed sales Resideline tracked over the last six months was $259,500. Those two figures describe different sets of homes, so any gap between them reflects the mix of what is listed now versus what recently sold, not a negotiating discount. Resideline has been seeing the median active listing in 42101 for 80 days.
