Independence

Situated in Cuyahoga County just south of Cleveland, this small city of 7,543 residents carries a notably tight housing market with only 8 active listings currently available. The median home price sits at $442,000, with buyers paying approximately $214 per square foot for homes that average 2,078 square feet. An owner-occupancy rate of 94.8% signals a community where residents tend to put down long-term roots, which helps explain the consistently limited inventory. The median household income of $114,049 supports the local price point and reflects a financially stable buyer pool. Homes here are served by Independence Local School District, a factor that consistently draws families to the area. For buyers, the scarcity of available properties means competition can be meaningful when well-priced homes come to market. For sellers, that same scarcity works in their favor, making this one of the more supply-constrained pockets within Cuyahoga County.
