The five highest-priced home sales reported in the Cleveland, Ohio metro area for the week ending October 4, 2026, came to a combined $7.27 million. Four of the homes are in Cuyahoga County, in Moreland Hills, Cleveland, Rocky River and Shaker Heights, and the fifth is in Medina, in Medina County.
The group spans nearly a century of building, from a Colonial finished in 1938 to a stone-clad home completed in 2018, and it includes one townhouse on the Lake Erie shore. Howard Hanna agents listed four of the five homes, and in two of the sales the same agent was on both sides.
