Hocking County

Located in southeastern Ohio, this rural county of 27,938 residents offers a limited but premium housing market with only 4 active listings currently available. The median home price of $342,500 reflects the area's desirability, while the modest average home size of 1,144 square feet results in a relatively high price per square foot of $286. With a median household income of $61,366, the market presents affordability challenges for many potential buyers, as home prices significantly exceed typical income ratios. However, the strong homeownership culture is evident in the 78.8% owner-occupied rate, well above national averages. The extremely low inventory suggests either limited new construction or high buyer demand that quickly absorbs available properties. This market dynamic creates a competitive environment for the few homes that do become available, likely contributing to sustained price levels despite the rural setting.
