Perry County

Tucked in the rolling hills of southeast Ohio, Perry County draws buyers who want space and lower price points within a tight-knit rural community. With 46 active listings currently on the market, inventory remains limited, keeping competition steady among serious buyers. The median home price sits at $214,500, with an average price per square foot of $192 and a typical home size of 1,671 square feet — figures that reflect the county's modest but practical housing stock. The owner-occupied rate of 76.5% signals a community of long-term residents rather than a transient renter base, which tends to support neighborhood stability over time. Perry County's population of 35,474 and median household income of $64,737 point to a working-class market where affordability remains a genuine draw compared to neighboring urban counties. Buyers seeking single-family homes with land, away from metropolitan density, consistently find Perry County worth consideration.
