🏡 Central Ohio’s housing market continues to stay strong as we move further into 2026!
While overall sales slowed slightly in April, home values are still climbing and inventory is continuing to grow, giving buyers more options and a little more breathing room in the market.
📈 April Market Highlights:
• Median home price reached $346,500, up 8.3% year over year
• Inventory increased 13.4% with over 5,000 homes available
• New listings rose 7.8%
• Homes are averaging 39 days on market compared to 32 days last year
What does this mean? Buyers are becoming more intentional and taking a little more time before making decisions, while sellers are still seeing strong home values. This is not a market crash, it is a market normalization after years of intense competition.
📍 Local Areas Making Moves:
• Olentangy Schools saw a 15.8% increase in sales
• Grove City closings jumped 36.5%
• Westerville home values rose 16.1%
• Lancaster continued steady growth with prices up 9.2%
Whether you are thinking about buying, selling, investing, or simply staying informed, the Central Ohio market is still proving to be resilient and active heading into summer.
