The Central Ohio housing market remains competitive, but it has shifted into a more balanced and strategic environment. While the intense bidding wars seen in past years have cooled, well-priced homes in desirable areas such as New Albany, Westerville, Granville, and Pataskala continue to attract strong interest and often sell quickly.

Buyers now have more opportunities to negotiate and conduct inspections, but being prepared—with a solid pre-approval and a clear understanding of budget and timing—remains essential. Sellers can still achieve excellent results when homes are priced accurately, professionally presented, and marketed with intention.

Because market conditions vary by neighborhood, price point, and timing, As a local REALTOR®, I take a personalized approach with every client. I’m happy to help you understand what the current market means for your specific goals and situation.
