Zanesville

Situated in Muskingum County with a population of just under 25,000, this southeastern Ohio city currently has 193 active listings on the market. The median home price sits at $239,000, with buyers paying an average of $194 per square foot for homes that run approximately 1,694 square feet. The relatively affordable price point reflects the local economic context, where the median household income is $39,085 — a gap that likely contributes to the owner-occupancy rate of 42.8%, which skews notably toward renter households compared to many similarly sized Ohio markets. Families with children would fall under the Zanesville City School District. The combination of lower price-per-square-foot costs and a sizable rental population suggests potential for both primary homebuyers seeking affordability and investors looking at income-producing properties. With nearly 200 active listings, buyers currently have a reasonable selection of inventory to evaluate across different price points and property types.
