    Seasonal averages from the last 24 months of Upper Arlington, OH sales. Individual results vary with price, condition, and how the broader market moves. A local agent can pinpoint the right timing for your home.

    What These Numbers Mean for Upper Arlington Buyers and Sellers

    The Housing Market Trends module above shows a market where sellers still hold measurable leverage, though the balance is worth reading carefully. With a median sale price of $699,650 and prices moving +9.8% year over year, Upper Arlington continues to command values well above the broader Ohio average, supported by just 1.6 months of supply. Anything under three months typically signals a seller-favored market, and inventory this tight keeps competition concentrated on well-presented listings. That pressure is visible in the 78.0% of homes that leave the market within two weeks and the 45.3% that close above asking, which pushes the average sale-to-list ratio to 101.23%.

    For buyers, the openings sit in the details. With 16.2% of listings recording a price cut and a median time on market of 31 (a +1 day change in market time), homes that linger past the two-week window become negotiable. Targeting those properties, rather than the fresh listings drawing multiple offers, is where measured leverage exists. Buyers competing for new inventory should expect to write clean, near-list or above-list offers.

    For sellers, the data argues for disciplined pricing rather than reaching. Because 16.2% of sellers eventually reduce, homes priced correctly at launch capture the two-week surge of attention and the above-list dynamic, while overpriced homes stall and lose it. Across 333 licensed agents working this market, execution varies widely, and the pricing decision in the first week increasingly determines the final outcome.

    What this shift means: Prices moved +9.8% while median time on market registered a +1 day change and the sale-to-list ratio shifted -1.37% year over year. Taken together, values are holding strong even as homes take somewhat longer to transact, which signals a market normalizing from its fastest pace rather than cooling in price. Buyers gain slightly more room to evaluate, while sellers retain pricing power when listings are prepared and positioned correctly.

    Year-over-year data reflects the most recent rolling period from Upper Arlington MLS records. Prior year values calculated from current figures and published YoY changes.

    What to Look for in a Upper Arlington Realtor

    Choosing an agent on name recognition alone overlooks what actually moves a transaction: negotiation results, pricing accuracy, and consistent closings. In a market averaging a 101.23% sale-to-list ratio with 45.3% of homes selling above asking, the agent guiding your offer strategy or pricing plan directly shapes the outcome. Among the 333 licensed agents active locally, EffectiveAgents has ranked 51 based on verified transaction history and performance data. The top-ranked agent, Lisa Theado at Theado & Company, LLC, has recorded 213 transactions and $137.6M in all-time sales volume. That depth of experience matters when navigating fast-moving offers, where 78.0% of homes go under contract within two weeks and precise pricing determines whether a listing captures that early demand. When comparing agents, read review patterns alongside raw transaction counts, since a smaller number of detailed, consistent reviews often reveals more about how an agent communicates and negotiates than a high volume of generic ratings.

    How We Rank Upper Arlington Real Estate Agents

    Our rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data, not advertising spend. For every agent we analyze more than fifteen performance signals, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results (how far above or below list price an agent's clients actually close), price-point fit, and verified reviews. The agents shown first are those whose verified results put them at the top of the Upper Arlington market today.

    Agents cannot pay for placement in these rankings. The underlying data refreshes as new closed transactions are reported, so rankings shift with real market performance. Learn how we rank agents.

    Upper Arlington Real Estate Agent FAQs

    Who is the best real estate agent in Upper Arlington, OH?

    The top-ranked agent in Upper Arlington, OH by EffectiveAgents data is Lisa Theado at Theado & Company, LLC, with 213 transactions and $137.6M in all-time sales volume. EffectiveAgents ranks agents using verified transaction history, sales performance, and closing consistency rather than advertising or name recognition. Of the 333 licensed agents in the area, only 51 meet the ranking threshold. The right choice depends on your specific needs, so compare several ranked agents on their record with homes similar to yours.

    How were these Upper Arlington real estate agents ranked?

    Rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data. We analyze more than fifteen performance signals for every agent, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results, price-point fit, and verified reviews. Agents cannot pay for placement.

    How many real estate agents are in Upper Arlington?

    Our data covers 333 real estate agents serving the Upper Arlington area. The count represents agents with transaction activity recorded in our Upper Arlington market data, not simply everyone holding a license.

    What does the median sale price in Upper Arlington mean for sellers?

    Upper Arlington's median sale price is $699,650 as of July 2026. Half of recent sales closed above that figure and half below. It is a useful baseline for understanding the market, but an experienced local agent will price your home against comparable recent sales in your neighborhood, not the citywide median.

    How long does it take to sell a house in Upper Arlington?

    The median home in Upper Arlington sells in about 31, reflecting a +1 day change in market time from a year earlier. With 78.0% of homes going under contract within two weeks, well-priced and well-presented listings often move quickly, while others take longer. Your actual timeline depends on pricing accuracy, condition, location, and season. Homes priced above market value are the most likely to sit, which is why 16.2% of listings eventually record a reduction. Setting the right price at launch is the strongest lever for a faster sale.

    Does it cost anything to use EffectiveAgents?

    No. EffectiveAgents is free for home buyers and sellers, with no obligation to work with any agent we match you with.

    Do agents pay to be ranked or featured?

    No. Agents cannot pay for placement anywhere in these rankings. Positions are earned from verified transaction performance only.

    What commission do Upper Arlington realtors charge?

    Commissions are negotiable and vary by agent, service level, and transaction. There is no set rate, and recent industry changes have made commission structures more flexible than ever. Discuss the structure directly with your agent before signing a listing or buyer agreement.

    Should I use a local Upper Arlington agent or a national brand?

    The individual agent matters more than the brand on the sign. Offices within the same national franchise vary widely in performance, and the agent you hire, not the logo, prices your home, negotiates your contract, and manages your closing. A strong local agent brings firsthand knowledge of Upper Arlington neighborhoods, pricing patterns, and buyer activity. Compare agents on verified local results such as recent sales, days on market, and negotiation outcomes rather than name recognition.

    What questions should I ask a Upper Arlington realtor before hiring them?

    Ask how many homes they have closed in Upper Arlington in the past year, what their average sale-to-list ratio is, and how much of their business is in your neighborhood and price range. Ask how they will market your home or find you listings, and how often they will communicate. Strong agents answer with specifics. Verified transaction data is the fastest way to confirm what you hear.
