Every row below is Redfin's final published month for Benton Ridge, OH. Redfin, through February 2026
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Median sale price | $101,967 |
| Median price per sq ft | $77/sq ft |

How to read these numbers
- Median sale price
- Half the homes that closed sold for more than this, half for less. It moves with what kind of home sold that month, so a quiet month with two big sales can swing it. Redfin's figure for Benton Ridge is frozen at May 2026.
- Typical home value (ZHVI)
- Zillow's estimate of what a mid-market home in Benton Ridge is worth right now, whether or not it sold. It is smoother than the median sale price and it still refreshes monthly, which is why this page leads with it.
- Months of supply
- How long it would take to sell every active listing at the current pace. Under 3 favors sellers, over 6 favors buyers, and 3 to 6 is the balanced band.
- Days on market
- Median time from listing to accepted offer. Short means you should have financing ready before you tour; long means there is room to negotiate on price and repairs.
- Sale-to-list ratio
- Sale price divided by the last asking price. Above 100% means bidding above asking is normal here; below 100% means the typical buyer got a discount.
- Price per square foot
- The size-adjusted price. Use it to compare a 1,400 sq ft house to a 2,600 sq ft house, not to value your own home — lot, condition and age move it a lot.
- Listings with a price cut
- Share of active listings that dropped their asking price in the month. A high share is the earliest visible sign that sellers are ahead of what buyers will pay.
- Typical asking rent (ZORI)
- Zillow's repeat-rent index for asking rents on new leases. Paired with the home value it gives the price-to-rent ratio in the rent-vs-buy section below.

Priced off the median sale price of $101,967 at the current 7.03% 30-year fixed rate. These are principal and interest only — property taxes, homeowner's insurance, HOA dues and mortgage insurance are on top, and they vary enough by property that we will not guess them for you.

|---|---|---|---|
| 20% | $20,393 | $81,574 | $544/mo |
| 5% | $5,098 | $96,869 | $646/mo |

The median household in Benton Ridge earns $75,938, about $52,608 more than that threshold — the typical local household clears the payment on a typical local home with 20% down. That puts the price-to-income ratio at 1.3x — close to the historical 3x norm, which is unusual in 2026.

- Comparable ZIP-level pricing inside Benton Ridge varies more than the citywide median suggests — check the ZIP pages below before you set a number.
