Why local numbers matter
Typical U.S. home, time to sell. National, August 2026.
Typical Portage County home, time to sell. Local, August 2026. Four days faster than a year ago.
Nationally, homes are taking longer to sell and buyers have more room to negotiate. In Portage County in August, the typical home sold in 22 days at 99.6% of its list price. If you only follow the national news, you miss that. The report puts both side by side every week.
Sources: National figure from NAR data as reported by Mortgage News Daily, Oct. 16, 2026. County figures from Redfin, Portage County. From the October 19 issue.

What this means for you
If you are thinking about buying: You have more choices and more room to negotiate than a year ago. Talk to a lender first and get a current payment quote before you start touring.
