Adams County

Located in southern Ohio along the Ohio River, this rural county presents a unique real estate landscape with extremely limited inventory. With just one active listing currently available, the housing market reflects significant supply constraints that have contributed to an exceptionally high median home price of $1,400,348. The area serves a population of 27,510 residents, with a strong preference for homeownership evidenced by the 71.0% owner-occupied rate. However, there appears to be a notable disconnect between local economic conditions and housing costs, as the median household income of $49,521 suggests affordability challenges for many potential buyers. This income level indicates that typical residents would need nearly 28 times their annual household income to afford the median-priced home, pointing to either a very specialized luxury market segment or significant market distortions. The minimal listing activity combined with the high price point suggests either very low turnover among existing homeowners or a market primarily driven by external buyers rather than local demand.
