Cleveland-area home values rose 3.9% year over year in September, the fifth-fastest gain among the 50 largest US metro areas, according to Zillow\u2019s Home Value Index<\/a>. Values nationally rose 1.2%. Austin fell 4.3%, the steepest drop of the 50. Dallas fell 2.0% and Phoenix 1.1%. In all, 16 of the 50 largest markets posted declines.<\/p>\n

The median price of an existing home in the Midwest rose 3.1% on the year to $329,600 in September, the National Association of Realtors reported<\/a> last week. The national median rose 1.3% to $417,500.<\/p>\n

Buyers weighing a rental home usually look at three topline numbers: what it costs, what it rents for, and whether its value holds. Cleveland does well on all three.<\/p>\n

The typical Cleveland-area home is worth about $250,000, Zillow\u2019s figures show. The national figure is about $366,000. Austin\u2019s is $414,000 and Phoenix\u2019s $441,000. A lower entry price means a smaller down payment and a smaller loan.<\/p>\n

Rents are climbing faster than the national pace. Asking rents in the Cleveland metro rose 4.5% on the year in September to about $1,440 a month, according to Zillow\u2019s Observed Rent Index<\/a>. Rents nationally rose 2.7%. Austin and Dallas rents rose less than 1%.<\/p>\n

Cleveland also beats the national figure on rent against price, by Zillow\u2019s measures. A year of rent at Cleveland\u2019s typical level equals 6.9% of the typical home value, according to Zillow\u2019s rent and home-value indexes. The national figure is 6.3%, Dallas 5.6% and Austin 4.6%. The ratio is a rough guide. Zillow\u2019s rent index covers houses, condos and apartments, and the figure comes before property tax, insurance and upkeep.<\/p>\n

Cleveland\u2019s value gains have held without a population boom. The metro\u2019s population fell 0.9% between April 2020 and July 2025, Census Bureau estimates<\/a> show. Austin added people far faster, yet its home values sat 27.6% below their 2022 peak as of August, ResiClub\u2019s Lance Lambert reported in Fast Company<\/a> last month. Population growth has not protected prices there.<\/p>\n

None of this guarantees future gains. It does show which markets are holding value as the national market slows, and which ones offer rent that keeps pace with the cost of the home. On September\u2019s numbers, Cleveland is one of them.<\/p>\n
