The latest Columbus & Central Ohio market report is in, and the numbers tell an important story for both buyers and sellers. 📊🏡
While closed sales moderated in April, home values continue to rise and inventory is expanding — giving buyers more options and a little more time to make confident decisions.
Here’s a quick snapshot of the April 2026 market:
▪️ 2,202 closed sales
▪️ Median sales price: $346,500 ⬆️
▪️ Average days on market: 39 days
▪️ Inventory increased to 13.4% ⬆️
What does this mean?
For buyers:
More inventory means more opportunities and less pressure compared to the highly competitive markets we’ve seen in recent years.
For sellers:
Homes are still appreciating in value, but pricing strategically and presenting your home well matters more than ever.
The market is shifting toward balance — and that’s creating opportunities on both sides of the transaction. Whether you’re thinking about buying, selling, investing, or just trying to understand what these changes mean for you, I’m always happy to be a resource. 🤝

Central Ohio's housing market showed resilience in April, with home values climbing and inventory expanding even as overall sales volume moderated. April data from the Columbus & Central Ohio Regional MLS shows 2,202 closed sales, a 13.6% decrease compared to April 2025, though the year-to-date total of 7,617 closings remains within reach of last year's pace, down 4.2% through the first four months of the year.
“April's numbers tell an interesting story. We have more homes on the market and buyers are taking a little more time to decide. That's not a bad thing; it means consumers are being thorough and intentional,” said Columbus REALTORS® President Gloria Alonso Cannon.
