📊 Columbus 43230 Market Update — Still a Strong Seller’s Market 🏡

If you’ve been wondering what’s happening in the Gahanna/New Albany area market, here’s the plain-English version:

✔️ Homes are still selling in a seller’s market
✔️ Inventory remains low — only about 32 homes available
✔️ Median home price is holding around $381,450
✔️ Homes are averaging about 47 days on market
✔️ Price reductions are increasing, which tells us buyers are becoming more selective

What does this mean?

👉 Sellers can still do very well — but pricing correctly matters more now than it did a year ago.
👉 Buyers may finally have a little breathing room and less competition than during the frenzy years.
👉 Well-prepared, move-in-ready homes are getting the most attention.

The market is shifting from “anything sells instantly” to a more balanced environment where presentation, condition, and pricing make all the difference.

Thinking about buying or selling in Gahanna, Blacklick, New Albany, or surrounding areas? Let’s talk strategy before the summer market heats up even more.

@johnrich She should not be in public. She should stay in her house so she is safe.

The market is shifting—and most people don’t realize it yet.

Inventory is finally creeping up. Homes are taking a little longer to sell. Mortgage rates ticked up again this week.

So what does that actually mean if you’re thinking about buying or selling?

👉 Are buyers gaining leverage?
👉 Are prices about to soften—or keep climbing?
👉 Is now the right time to make a move… or wait?

I broke it all down in this week’s Central Ohio market update—real numbers, real insight, no fluff.

just Listed in Newark!

I just listed this beautiful, nearly new home in Conor’s Pass, and I had to share it with you—this is exactly what so many buyers are looking for right now.

428 Saint James Gate, Newark
4 Bedrooms | 2.5 Baths | 3-Car Garage

Built in 2023, this home is clean, move-in ready, and has a great open layout with a bright kitchen, large island, and plenty of space for everyday living and entertaining.

Upstairs offers 4 spacious bedrooms, including a comfortable owner’s suite, plus the convenience of second-floor laundry (which is a game changer).

The backyard has plenty of room to grow, garden, or play—and one of my favorite features is the peaceful view of a nearby horse farm as you come and go from the neighborhood. It gives the area a much more open, country feel.

And yes… it has a 3-car garage, which is hard to find in this price range.

If you—or someone you know—is looking in the Newark area, I’d love to get them in to see it.

Send me a message or share this post with someone who might be interested!

Things are changing—and if you’re buying or selling, it matters.

Homes aren’t flying off the shelf like they used to…
BUT the good ones? Still going fast.

Buyers: You finally have options.
Sellers: Pricing right is no longer optional.

Mortgage rates dipped slightly this week, and inventory is creeping up—both are shaping the spring market.

👉 I break it all down for you—full report in the comments.

Spring market is here—and it’s not the chaos people expected.

Inventory is finally rising.
Prices are still climbing (but not wildly).
Mortgage rates dipped slightly this week and are holding in the mid-6% range.

So what does that mean?

👉 Buyers: You’ve got more choices—but you still need to move when the right one shows up.
👉 Sellers: The window is open right now—but pricing correctly matters more than ever.

This is one of those markets where understanding the timing can make or break your outcome.

The housing market this week?

A little more inventory…
A little higher rates…
And still not enough homes to go around.

In other words — business as usual for spring in Central Ohio.

If you’re buying or selling, you need to know what’s actually changing (and what isn’t).

I laid it all out in this week’s Market Brief.

Spring doesn’t just clean houses—it sells them. 🌿

Fresh listings are popping up, buyers are out in full force, and the timing couldn’t be better. Whether you’re dreaming of a bright kitchen like this or thinking about selling, now’s when things start moving.

Let’s make your next move a smart one.

The spring market is waking up… but it’s not wide open just yet.

Inventory is finally rising, buyers have a little more breathing room, and Central Ohio home prices are still holding strong. But mortgage rates ticked up again this week—and that’s keeping everyone on their toes.

Here’s what’s really happening right now:
• More homes hitting the market (finally)
• Prices still climbing in Central Ohio
• Homes taking a little longer to sell
• Rates back in the low–mid 6% range

Bottom line: This market rewards strategy—not guesswork.

If you’re buying, you’ve got more options.
If you’re selling, pricing and presentation matter more than ever.

Today, President Trump signed two major executive orders tackling the housing crisis head-on—focusing on both building more homes faster and making it easier to get a mortgage.

Removing Regulatory Barriers to Affordable Home Construction
This EO directs federal agencies (EPA, Army Corps, HUD, Commerce, Transportation, FHFA, Energy, Agriculture) to review and slash unnecessary rules that jack up costs and cause endless delays—like overly strict stormwater/wetlands permits, burdensome energy/water efficiency mandates, "green" building codes, and other red tape slowing new construction. The goal: Speed up permitting, encourage innovative building methods, expand Opportunity Zones for housing, and get more single-family homes (and manufactured homes) built quickly to increase supply and lower prices for families.
Promoting Access to Mortgage Credit
This companion order targets the financing side by reducing regulatory burdens that have driven up mortgage costs, limited options for creditworthy borrowers, and pushed community banks/credit unions out of the lending game. It pushes for tailored rules to help smaller lenders compete, modernize with digital tools (e-signatures, e-notes, remote notarization), and expand access—especially for rural, low/moderate-income, and first-time buyers in places like Ohio.

These build on Trump's earlier January 2026 EO that cracked down on big Wall Street/institutional investors snapping up single-family homes (prioritizing everyday families over corporate buyers via federal program restrictions, first-look policies, etc.).
Together, it's a full-court press: More homes built + fewer barriers to buying/financing them = real relief for the affordability crunch hitting hard in Columbus and across the country. Faster construction in growing suburbs, potentially lower mortgage hurdles from local banks, and less competition from big investors could make a real difference here in Ohio.
What do you think—will this move the needle on home prices and availability in central Ohio? Let's discuss! 🇺🇸🏠 #HousingAffordability #TrumpEOs #OhioHousing #MortgageAccess #BuildMoreHomes

The spring real estate market is starting to wake up.

Nationally, inventory is rising and prices are softening a bit. But here in Central Ohio, the story is a little different. Homes are still selling, prices are still climbing, and inventory is still tight.

I just published this week’s Central Ohio Market Brief covering:
• Current mortgage rates and why they changed this week
• New listings and sales trends in our local market
• What’s happening nationally and how it affects buyers and sellers here
• What to expect in the coming week

If you're thinking about buying or selling this year, these trends matter.
