July brought a little more breathing room for buyers, while the market continued to see steady activity. Compared to July 2025, more home were listed, more homes sold, and inventory increased across Central Ohio.
Here's a quick look at what happened:
🏠 3,943 new listings went on the market
🔑 3,083 homes sold - up 6.3% from July 2025
💵 Median sold price was $350,000
📅 Averaged 28 days on market
📍6,193 total properies were on the market for Central Ohio - up 9.8% from last year
The number that really stands out is inventory. With almost 10% more homes available than this time last year, buyers have more options to consider. But at the same time, the number of closed sales went up 6.3%, showing that homes are still moving.
So what does this mean for you? The market isn't one-size-fits-all. Pricing, location, condition, and timing can make all the difference.
As always, these are numbers for all of Central Ohio. Your specific neighborhood may look a little different. If you're curious to see what the market looks like in your area, reach out!
