What Is the Maumee, Ohio Housing Market? 253 Sales, $310,000 Median

253 homes closed in Maumee in 2026, at a median $310,000, a median $173 per square foot, and a median 35 days from listing to signed contract. That is every residential closing the NORIS MLS recorded with a Maumee city address between January 1 and September 21.

I rewrote this page today because the version that was sitting here was wrong about the one thing people come to it for.

The old table said Sylvania closed 68 homes at a median $410,000. Sylvania closed 328 at $359,275. That one row was a fifth of the count and $50,725 high, and the post's whole conclusion leaned on it: that Maumee sits about $100,000 under Sylvania and Perrysburg, and stays under both even after you adjust for house size. The first half is half right. The second half is backwards. Per square foot, Maumee is $2 a foot more expensive than Sylvania, not less.

Rebuilt below, off one MLS pull, with the arithmetic shown.

What Is the Median Home Price in Maumee, Ohio?

$310,000. Half the market sat between $235,000 and $400,000, and the full range ran from $49,000 to $1,386,500.

A median alone hides what this town is. The whole distribution, band by band.

Price band	Closings	Share
Under $200,000	38	15%
$200,000 to $300,000	79	31%
$300,000 to $400,000	72	28%
$400,000 to $500,000	27	11%
$500,000 and up	37	15%

Nearly half of Maumee closed under $300,000 and a quarter closed over $400,000. That spread inside one small city is what gets lost when somebody reads a single number off a portal and decides the town is out of reach or beneath them.

Worth saying plainly about those portal numbers: each big site is measuring a different thing. Asking prices on live listings. An algorithm's guess at every house in the zip whether it sold or not. A rolling three month window. None of those is a closed sale. Use the portals to find houses. Stop using them to price them.

Is Maumee Cheaper Than Sylvania and Perrysburg?

This is the question the old version got wrong, so I am going to answer it twice: once the lazy way, once the honest way.

The lazy way is the median price table. Same MLS pull, 2026 closings, land excluded.

City	Closings	Median price	Median $/sq ft	Median sq ft	Median year built	Days to contract
Perrysburg	413	$395,000	$192	2,119	1996	41
Sylvania	328	$359,275	$171	2,100	1989	36
Holland	144	$335,500	$164	1,924	1994	38
Maumee	253	$310,000	$173	1,792	1981	35
Oregon	145	$250,000	$161	1,512	1966	38
Toledo	2,287	$152,000	$117	1,303	1949	38

Read that table fast and Maumee looks like a $49,275 discount to Sylvania and an $85,000 discount to Perrysburg.

Now look at the two columns nobody reads. Sylvania's median house is 2,100 square feet. Maumee's is 1,792. That is 308 square feet, and per foot the two towns are $173 and $171. Maumee is the more expensive of the two by $2 a foot.

The honest way is to hold house size still. Every closing in these towns between 1,600 and 2,200 finished square feet, which brackets Maumee's median house:

City	Sales in band	Median price	Median $/sq ft	Median sq ft	Median year built
Holland	53	$359,900	$184	2,002	1999
Perrysburg	131	$350,000	$190	1,871	1995
Sylvania	115	$339,000	$171	1,912	1984
Maumee	92	$319,148	$170	1,844	1986
Oregon	45	$283,000	$156	1,858	1972
Toledo	421	$227,000	$125	1,788	1955

Against Sylvania the $49,275 headline gap falls to $19,852 and the per foot difference is a dollar. Against Perrysburg the discount survives: $30,852 on a comparable house, $20 a foot.

So the correct sentence is not "Maumee is cheaper than the west side." It is "Maumee is meaningfully cheaper than Perrysburg, and roughly the same price as Sylvania for the same amount of house." If you have been shopping Maumee to save money against Sylvania, you are mostly buying a smaller house, and you should know that going in. I worked through the whole west side town by town in the west side comparison, and the same pattern shows up there: sorting these towns by price and sorting them by the foot produces two different lists. The mechanics of the per foot number are in the price per square foot study.

How Long Does It Take to Sell a House in Maumee?

A median 35 days from the listing contract date to a signed purchase contract, measured on all 253 sales. That is the quickest number on the table above, ahead of Sylvania at 36 days and Perrysburg at 41.

One note on the measure, because the old version of this page got it wrong. I count from the day the listing contract starts to the day a purchase contract is signed. I do not publish the MLS days-on-market field. That field restarts, pauses and carries over in ways that are inconsistent between listings, and the old table's "median days on market" column came from it. The 35 days here and the 37 that used to sit on this page are not the same measurement, so do not read the change as the market speeding up.

Of the 251 sales with an original list price on record, 118 closed above it, 47.0 percent, and the median overage when a home did beat its first ask was $11,000. Another 33 landed exactly on it, so 151 of 251 finished at or above their original number, 60.2 percent.

That is not a frenzy. Not close. It is a market where roughly six in ten sellers got their opening number or better and four in ten did not, which means the opening number is doing the work. The broader timing picture for the metro is in how long it takes to sell across greater Toledo.

Why Are Two Maumee Houses the Same Size $170,000 Apart?

Because condition is most of the price here, and this is the first time I have put a number on it.

Take all 253 Maumee closings and line up what each one paid per finished square foot:

Percentile	$/sq ft
10th	$128
25th	$151
Median	$173
75th	$198
90th	$223

The bottom tenth of the market paid $128 a foot. The top tenth paid $223. On the town's median 1,792 square feet, that is $229,376 against $399,616. Same town, same size, $170,240 apart.

In a housing stock whose median build year is 1981, that spread is the roof, the panel, the furnace, the windows and the kitchen. It is not a mystery and it is not a market condition. It is deferred maintenance, priced.

I walk a lot of these houses. I am looking for water first, every time: where the downspouts put it, what the grade around the foundation does with it, whether a window seal has failed. The ones that surprise buyers at inspection are almost never the ones that looked rough. They are the ones that looked finished and were finished badly. I am not a home inspector and you still need one. But knowing which tier of that table a house belongs in, before you write the offer, is the difference between the $151 column and the $198 column.

Who Is Buying in Maumee?

63 of the 253 buyers paid cash, 24.9 percent. That is the highest cash share of the four suburbs on this page.

City	Cash closings	Cash share
Maumee	63	24.9%
Holland	33	22.9%
Oregon	32	22.1%
Perrysburg	86	20.8%
Sylvania	67	20.4%

The rest of the Maumee financing mix: 165 conventional, 13 VA, 12 FHA. So government-backed loans accounted for about 10 percent of the town's closings.

Two practical reads. If you are financing here, one in four of the offers you are competing with does not have an appraisal or a loan commitment attached, and on the days when it comes down to certainty rather than price, that is what you are up against. Get fully underwritten before you tour, not after you fall in love. If you are selling here, a cash offer is common enough in Maumee that you should not treat one as a reason to discount on its own. Ask what the cash is actually buying you in days.

What Are You Actually Buying in Maumee?

An established house. The median 2026 Maumee sale was built in 1981 at 1,792 finished square feet.

Exactly 3 of the 253 closings were new construction, about 1.2 percent. That is the entire new build market for the year inside city limits, and three sales is too small a sample for me to publish a median price off. If new construction is what you want, this is not the search, and the new construction premium study shows where the inventory actually is on this side of the metro.

Bedroom mix across the 253 sales: 121 were three bedroom, 73 were four, 43 were two, 14 were five or more, and 2 were one.

The subdivisions that turned over most: Hunt and Beaugrands with 13 sales, then Waterside and Valley Stream at 11 each, Heatherglen at 10, Crystal Ridge at 9, and The Quarry and Maumee Valley Garden at 7 each. 37 of the 253 carried no subdivision name at all, which is exactly what you expect in the older grid closer to the river.

What Does the Tax Bill Look Like?

The median Maumee closing in 2026 carried a last-billed tax equal to 1.66 percent of its sale price, measured across all 253 sales. On a $310,000 house that works out to roughly $5,100 a year.

Read that as the bill the seller was paying, not the bill you will pay. Ohio reappraises, and a sale is the loudest possible signal to a county auditor. The county-by-county mechanics are in the Toledo property tax guide, and the number on any specific parcel comes from the auditor, not from me.

What Is Actually for Sale in Maumee Right Now?

68 active listings, at a median asking price of $319,950.

That is $9,950 above what the town's homes have actually been closing for. Compare that to the neighbors: Perrysburg has 136 actives at a median $434,950, which is $39,950 over its closing median, and Sylvania has 131 at $434,900, which is $75,625 over its closing median.

Maumee is the only one of the three where the inventory on the market is priced within shouting distance of what the market has been paying. For a buyer that means fewer listings sitting there daring you to make a low offer. For a seller it means the comps and the competition are telling you the same story, and there is not much room to test a number. You can see what is on the market at Maumee homes for sale.

What This Means If You Are Buying

Three things, in the order of how much money they save you.

1. Price the condition tier, not the town. The $128-to-$223 per foot spread is the whole ballgame. Before you write, get the age of the roof, the furnace, the water heater and the electrical panel. In a 1981 median housing stock those four items are the difference between a good buy and a $30,000 first year.
2. Be fully underwritten before you tour. A quarter of this market closes cash. You do not beat certainty with a prequalification letter.
3. Do not shop Maumee to beat Sylvania on price. Per foot they are a dollar apart. Shop Maumee because you want a 1981 house on a smaller footprint near the river, or because you want the $85,000 gap to Perrysburg. Those reasons hold up. "It is cheaper than Sylvania" does not, once you hold size still.

What This Means If You Are Selling

Your first list price is the whole negotiation.

47 percent of Maumee sellers beat their original ask this year and 39.8 percent finished under it. The difference between those two groups is almost never the house. It is the opening number, and in a 35 day market you find out which group you are in fast.

The work happens before it goes live. Price against your street and your condition tier, not against the town median, because the town median is the middle of a market that ran from $49,000 to $1,386,500. Start with the home value tool for a baseline, then get the closed comps. If yours is a smaller, older house against the Sylvania comps your agent is quoting, the per foot column is the argument that gets you paid correctly.

What the 253 Sales Add Up To

Maumee in 2026 is a $310,000 median market, $173 a foot, 35 days to contract, 47 percent of sellers beating their first ask, in a 1981 housing stock with essentially no new construction and the highest cash share on the west side. The discount to Perrysburg holds up at $85,000. The discount to Sylvania does not survive holding house size still, and anybody who told you otherwise was reading a median instead of a per foot number.

If you want the number for a specific street rather than the whole city, send me the block and I will pull the closed comps on it and tell you which condition tier your house actually sits in. That is the only version of this data that decides anything.

Closing data from the NORIS MLS, 2026 residential closings with a Maumee city record, vacant land excluded, all pulls deduped by list number, covering January 1 through September 21, 2026. Per square foot figures are the median of per-sale close-price-to-finished-square-foot ratios, not median price divided by median size. Days are measured from listing contract date to purchase contract date; the MLS days-on-market field is not used. Tax figures are the last billed six month total doubled, over close price.
