Ask any real estate agent in Summit County about 2021’s record-breaking real estate sales and most will point to the coronavirus pandemic as at least partly responsible for the continued boom.

According to Land Title Guarantee Co.’s December report, Summit County raked in $3.05 billion in sales over the course of 2021. That sales volume surpassed 2020’s number, when the last record was set, which tallied $2.32 billion in sales. The 32% increase is even more dramatic when compared to 2019’s numbers. Last year’s total sales volume was nearly 61% higher than 2019, which totaled nearly $1.90 billion in sales.
