The Central Ohio housing market remains active

Favorable interest rates, new inventory, a rise in sales contracts and strong price growth contributed to keeping the housing market active last month according to the Columbus REALTORS® Multiple Listing Service.

The average home sold for $239,729 in October 2019, up 6.3 percent over last year. The median sale price of $205,000 was 5.7 percent higher than in October of 2018.

There were 3,285 homes and condos added to the market last month, which was about the same as September, but 7.4 percent more than last year.

That brought the total number of homes and condominiums for sale at the end of October to 5,254 which was down almost three percent from a year ago, but up from September.

“Housing activity tends to start to cool as the temperatures drop but we’ve seen inventory rise throughout most of 2019, including last month,” said John Myers, 2019 President of Columbus REALTORS®. “Given our struggle over the last several years to provide the homes needed to meet the demand, this is a boon for those in the market to buy their first or next home."

Connie will never push you to purchase beyond your comfort level. Let's talk to  one of my preferred local lenders, with an on time closing record, that is available during the purchase to talk to you by phone.

I will set you up for success and help you determine your eligibility. My  preferred lender will review loan programs, and narrow interest rates after pulling your credit score*, and help you decide which loan type fits your specific financial situation. 

If we determine financially you are not ready, my preferred lenders will direct you how to financial prepare to buy a home and talk to you about credit recovery if needed.
