May 2025 Central Ohio Market Snapshot: Tight Inventory, Steady Demand

According to the latest Central Ohio Housing Report, home sales are rebounding, but inventory continues to lag behind. Here's what buyers and sellers in Columbus need to know:

🔍 Key Highlights from the Report:

• Home sales rose nearly 3% in May compared to April 2025.

• Median sales price jumped to $327,000, a 7% increase year-over-year.

• Days on market averaged just 19 days, down from 23 in April.

• Inventory is still tight, with active listings down almost 8% from May 2024.

🏠 What This Means for Sellers:

If you’ve been considering listing your home—now is the time. With low inventory and high demand, sellers are still in a strong position to receive competitive offers, especially in high-demand areas like Upper Arlington, Gahanna, and Dublin.

🔑 What This Means for Buyers:

Rising prices and fewer homes mean you need to be ready to act quickly. Having a trusted agent, a clear budget, and pre-approval in hand is essential. The good news? Despite limited supply, homes are still moving—and opportunities are there for serious buyers.

 Looking Ahead:

As we enter summer, the market is expected to stay competitive. New construction is helping slightly, but existing inventory remains the dominant force.
