Dover

Tucked into Tuscarawas County in eastern Ohio, this small city of 13,094 residents offers a modest but active ownership market. With only a couple dozen active listings at any given time, inventory is tight, meaning buyers should expect to move quickly when suitable properties appear. Pricing sits in a mid-range bracket that reflects the area's median household income of $61,918, making ownership attainable for many local families without stretching into premium territory. The price per square foot is reasonable for the region, and homes tend to run at a comfortable mid-size, neither compact starter properties nor oversized estate homes. The owner-occupied rate of 60.0 percent points to a community with solid long-term residents who have chosen to put down roots rather than rent. Families with children will find the Dover City School District serving the area. Overall the market rewards prepared buyers who stay attentive to new listings as they come available.
