The Ohio Association of Realtors reports that the number of single-family homes and condominiums put under agreement in April rose for the 24th consecutive month compared to the results from the prior year.

“The Ohio housing market has reached a significant milestone in its on-going recovery effort, as we’ve seen an uptick in home purchases across the state month after month for two straight years,” notes OAR President Thomas Williams. “It’s becoming evident that buyers are eager to take advantage of the ideal conditions that exist — from historic low interest rates to favorable pricing — in order to make the dream of home ownership a reality.”
