The Central Ohio market is giving buyers a little more breathing room. We have more homes available than we did this time last year, homes are taking a little longer to sell, and buyers have more options to choose from.

But that doesn’t mean prices are dropping.

The median sales price reached $345,500 in August, up 2.2% from August of last year, and sellers still received an average of 99.2% of their last list price.

In other words… we’re seeing a more balanced market.

More options for buyers, while sellers are still seeing appreciation and strong results.

And that’s exactly why headlines like “the market is cooling” don’t tell the whole story.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling, understanding what’s happening in your specific price range and area makes all the difference.

Fall in Central Ohio is beautiful… but homeowners know what comes next.

A little preparation now can save you from some not-so-fun surprises when the temperatures start dropping.

From checking the furnace and cleaning the gutters to disconnecting those outdoor hoses (yes, before the first freeze!), September is a great time to start getting your home ready for the colder months ahead.

And if selling next spring has even crossed your mind, your preparation can start now too. That doesn’t mean renovating everything or spending a fortune, it means knowing what’s actually worth fixing, updating or leaving alone before it’s time to list.

That’s where we come in.

Save this checklist for the next few weeks — because those 70° Ohio days won’t last forever! 🍁

More homes for sale in Central Ohio… but does that mean the market is slowing down? Not really.

July was actually a pretty strong month. Closed sales were up 6.3% compared to July of last year, prices continued to appreciate, AND buyers had more homes to choose from.

That’s a combination I like to see.

Buyers have more options and a little more breathing room, while sellers are still getting an average of 99.3% of their last asking price.

So yes, the market is changing. But that doesn’t necessarily mean “good for buyers” or “good for sellers.” It really depends on the house, the price point, the area… and your particular situation.

If buying or selling in Central Ohio has been on your mind, reach out. I’m always happy to talk real estate and help you make sense of what’s happening in our local market.

Enquanto muita gente ainda corre para os estados mais “famosos” dos EUA… algumas famílias estão fazendo movimentos muito mais estratégicos.

Central Ohio vem se tornando uma das regiões mais inteligentes para quem quer construir vida, estabilidade e patrimônio nos Estados Unidos.

E o motivo é simples: Aqui, você ainda encontra algo que desapareceu em muitos mercados americanos: qualidade de vida com um custo mais equilibrado.

Casas mais acessíveis.
Menos trânsito.
Boas escolas.
Cidades organizadas.
Crescimento econômico forte.
E uma localização estratégica perto de grandes centros americanos.

Ohio talvez não seja o estado que mais aparece na internet. Mas pode ser um dos que mais fazem sentido na vida real.

Depois de mais de 15 anos vivendo aqui, eu posso dizer com tranquilidade: muita gente subestima Central Ohio.

E talvez esse seja exatamente o segredo.

Se você está pensando em morar nos EUA, comprar imóvel ou entender quais regiões realmente fazem sentido hoje… me manda uma mensagem com a palavra “OHIO”.

Eu vou ter o maior prazer em te mostrar o que pouca gente ainda percebeu sobre essa região.

A maioria das pessoas não deixa de comprar casa nos EUA por falta de dinheiro.

Deixa de comprar por falta de direção.

O processo aqui não é difícil, mas também não é intuitivo.

E quando você tenta fazer sozinho, é onde acontecem os erros que custam caro.

Se você está pensando em comprar em 2026, o melhor momento pra começar não é quando você acha a casa.

É agora.

📩 Comenta CASA ou me chama no direct
que eu te explico exatamente por onde começar de forma clara, estratégica e sem complicação.

Tem gente que acha que corretora só entra na história quando é hora de assinar contrato.

Mas a verdade é que meu trabalho começa muito antes — e continua muito depois.

Muita gente não sabe que eu:

• ajudo a decidir se é hora de comprar
• analiso bairro mesmo quando você mora longe
• oriento melhorias antes de vender
• explico o mercado sem pressão
• conecto você com profissionais certos
• penso estratégia de longo prazo
• ajudo mesmo quando você “ainda não sabe”

Você não precisa estar comprando agora para falar comigo.

Mas se a ideia já passou pela sua cabeça…
já é hora de conversar.

Me manda uma mensagem e me conta:
você está pensando em comprar, vender ou ainda está só organizando as ideias?
