Central Ohio Home Sellers

Planning to sell your home soon? Sellers Markets don’t last forever. Right now is a great time to get your home ready to sell, if you haven’t yet. If you get it listed by August, it could be sold by September (provided that it’s priced correctly, of course).

In the fall and winter, home prices tend to shift down with the slower season.

*Note: Central Ohio’s current Seller’s Market is driven by lower priced homes due to higher demand and lower inventory. Higher priced home sellers may find they are in a Buyer’s Market. It’s extremely important to work with an expert, prep your home for sale, and list at a competitive price.

If you want to list and sell your home, talk with a top Columbus real estate agent.

Market conditions vary even by neighborhood. Call or text Columbus Realtor Rita Boswell at 614-830-9767 to learn more about market conditions in your specific community.
