They say the best time to buy real estate was 5 years ago… and the second-best time might just be today.

Mahoning + Columbiana Counties

August 2016 → $86,700 median sale price
August 2021 → $137,500
August 2026 → $219,000

That means the median sale price increased about 59% in the last 5 years and roughly 153% over the last 10 years.

At the same time, buyers finally have a little more to choose from. Active listings increased from 816 last August to 940 this August.

Nobody knows exactly what prices will look like 5 years from now, and every property is different. But this is a good reminder of why I always tell buyers to focus on their financial situation and long-term goals instead of trying to perfectly time the market.

Thinking about buying or selling in Mahoning or Columbiana County? Is there a specific county or city you’d like to see the stats for? Reach out and we can take a look at what the numbers mean for you. 📞 330-277-6481

Congratulations to both my seller and buyer on the successful sale of 12706 W South Range Rd. in Salem!

This was a true off-market transaction, proving that you don't always have to list your home publicly to achieve a successful sale. By connecting the right buyer with the right property, we were able to create a win-win for everyone involved.

Thank you both for trusting me throughout the process. It was a pleasure helping make this transaction come together, and I wish you both the very best in your next chapter!

If you've been thinking about selling but aren't sure you want your home on the market, I'd be happy to discuss your options. There are opportunities to connect qualified buyers and sellers privately, and I'd love to help you explore what makes the most sense for your situation.

If you're considering buying or selling, feel free to reach out—I'd be happy to help.

Congratulations to the Schusters on their new home!

This one is extra special because I had the opportunity to help two longtime friends find exactly what they were looking for.

From the beautiful home to the acreage and pond, this property has everything they dreamed of and plenty of room to make it their own. They’ve already started the demo, and I can’t wait to see the transformation. I know it’s going to turn out incredible!

Thank you both for trusting me to help guide you through such an exciting chapter. It means a lot to be a part of this journey, especially with friends.

Congratulations again, Max & Emily! Wishing you both a lifetime of memories in your beautiful new home. 🏡❤️

Grateful to be recognized as a Top Producer for June!

A huge congratulations to Kyle & Julia on their new home in Canfield! 🎉

This one was a true team effort. With Kyle and Julia moving from the Columbus area, we spent many weekends scheduling long days of showings and making the most of every trip to Northeast Ohio. Their patience, flexibility, and commitment paid off, and we were able to find the right home for them.

Helping clients navigate a move from another city always comes with unique challenges, but seeing everything come together on closing day makes it all worth it.

Thank you both for trusting me throughout the process. Wishing you many years of happiness and great memories in your new home!

Most people know me as a realtor, but what many may not realize is that I’m also a Track & Field coach at Salem High School.

For the past six years I’ve had the privilege of serving as the boys head track coach and sprint coach while continuing to grow my real estate business. Both careers have taught me many of the same lessons—leadership, communication, preparation, accountability, and helping people reach goals they once thought were out of reach.

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to coach some incredible young men and women at the OHSAA State Track & Field Championships in Columbus. Watching athletes achieve personal bests, break school records, earn All-Ohio honors, stand on the podium, and even bring home a State Championship is something I’ll never forget.

Coaching has given me a chance to make an impact beyond work and I’m grateful to be part of a program filled with outstanding athletes, families, and coaches.

Whether it’s helping someone buy their first home, sell a property, or helping an athlete chase a dream, I’m fortunate to spend my time doing things I genuinely care about.

A huge congratulations to Dylan & Alexis on the purchase of their first home. Thank you for trusting me to help navigate the process and find the right fit for you both.

Grateful to be recognized as a Top Producer for April 2026!

Every month in this business brings new challenges, new relationships, and new opportunities to learn. I’m thankful for the clients who continue to trust me through such important decisions and for everyone who supports me along the way.
