The gang from Sell for 1 Percent breaks down the Central Ohio market, where active inventory has climbed to 6,658 homes for sale. While the general consensus points to a balanced market, the reality on the ground is hyperlocal, with areas like London leaning towards buyers while high-demand spots like Dublin remain a seller’s market. For Columbus-area buyers, this means more leverage and time to negotiate things like closing costs, while sellers must price their homes correctly for a market where the average days on market has stretched to 75 days.
