Local home value data · Columbus, OH
What's my home worth in Columbus, OH?
Columbus keeps showing up on Midwest growth lists, and sales volume backs it up: more homes are changing hands than a year ago, prices are holding near record levels, and it remains one of the more affordable big-city options in Ohio.
Is Columbus a buyer's or seller's market?
Leaning seller's. Redfin rates Columbus 67/100 (somewhat competitive), based on how quickly homes sell, how often they get multiple offers, and how close they sell to list price.
What this means if you're selling in Columbus
A median sale price of $300,000, essentially flat year-over-year (+0.6%), points to a market that has leveled off rather than one that is cooling or overheating. Homes in Columbus average about 42 days on market and around two offers, so well-priced listings still draw interest, but sellers should price to recent comparable sales rather than expect last year's gains to continue.

Columbus's median sale price sits 26% below the U.S. median.

Is Columbus, OH a buyer's or seller's market right now?
Columbus is considered somewhat competitive, with homes receiving roughly two offers on average and selling in about 42 days. That's more balanced than a hot seller's market, but it doesn't favor buyers either.
Is the Columbus housing market growing?
Yes. Columbus is frequently cited among the Midwest's stronger growth markets for 2026, with steady price appreciation and healthy transaction volume compared to more volatile coastal markets.
How accurate is a median home value for a specific Columbus neighborhood?
City-wide medians can vary significantly by neighborhood. A free home value report reviewed by a local agent accounts for your specific address and comparable sales nearby, rather than a city-wide average.
