Learn moreReal, disclosed price spread by methodology
One source cited a median home value around $221,100, while Redfin's own trailing-3-month median sale price ran considerably higher at $349,000 -- both real, disclosed figures reflecting different methodologies and market timing rather than a contradiction.
A competitive but slightly cooling market
Redfin scored Lakewood's market 85/100 ('very competitive'), with homes averaging around 4 offers, though days-on-market rose to approximately 27 days from 13 the prior year -- a real, disclosed early cooling signal even amid continued price appreciation.
Density and walkability drive real, sustained demand
Lakewood's genuinely dense, walkable urban form and real transit access continue to support demand distinct from more car-dependent Ohio suburbs.
