Is the 45231 ZIP code a buyer's or seller's market?
ZIP code 45231 is a balanced market and homes selling in about 43 days. We classify markets from months of supply, sale-to-list ratio and days on market together — no single number decides it.
What are the latest 45231 housing market stats?
Redfin's final published month for this ZIP code. Redfin, through March 2026
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Median sale price | $229,950 |
| Median list price | $219,450 |
| Year-over-year price change | +2.2% |
| Median price per sq ft | $159/sq ft |
| Median days on market | 43 days |
| Active inventory | 147 listings |
| Sale-to-list price ratio | 100.1% |
| Homes sold (that month) | 122 |
| Market condition | Balanced market |
Reading these: months of supply is how long it would take to sell every active listing at the current pace (under 4 months of supply tilts toward sellers, 4 to 5 months is the neutral band, and above 5 months tilts toward buyers — above 7 months is a glut.). Days on market is the median time from listing to accepted offer. Sale-to-list ratio above 100% means bidding over asking is normal here. Price per square foot lets you compare differently sized homes, but it should not be used to value your own.
How have 45231 home prices moved?
Over the three years through Redfin's final published month, the median sale price in 45231 rose 15.0%, from $199,900 to $229,950. The live Zillow value series has held roughly flat 0.3% in the last 12 months — the more current read now that the Redfin series has stopped. ZIP-level medians swing harder than citywide ones because far fewer homes sell in a month; read the shape of the line, not any single point.

How does 45231 compare to Pleasant Hills, OH?
45231 sits about 1 miles from downtown Pleasant Hills, but we do not hold ZIP and citywide sale rows for the same period, so putting the two numbers side by side would be comparing different months. The Pleasant Hills, OH housing market page has the citywide figures, and the comparison tool puts any two markets against each other.
What does it cost to buy a home in 45231?
Priced off the typical home value of $215,332 at the current 7.03% 30-year fixed rate. Principal and interest only — property taxes, insurance, HOA dues and mortgage insurance are on top and vary too much by property for us to guess.
| Down payment | Cash at close | Loan amount | Monthly P&I |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20% | $43,066 | $172,265 | $1,150/mo |
| 5% | $10,767 | $204,565 | $1,365/mo |
Zillow, August 2026 for the price · Freddie Mac via FRED, September 2026 for the rate
Lenders generally want housing costs under 28% of gross income, so the 20%-down payment of $1,150 implies roughly $49,267 a year before taxes and insurance. The median household in this ZIP earns $71,353, clearing that threshold by about $22,086. Price-to-income runs 3.0x. Typical asking rent here is $1,562/mo, a price-to-rent ratio of 11.5x, which means buying tends to beat renting on monthly cost over a typical hold.
