Columbus Ohio Housing Update July 2019

Condo Sales Higher in Central Ohio

 

In the month of July 2019, 3,334 homes and condos were sold. That’s a up 3.3% from last month and up nearly 4% from June of last year.

More than 500 of those sales were condos.

“The new condo guidelines released by HUD last week could help would-be buyers become eligible for an FHA-backed mortgage,” said John Myers, 2019 President of Columbus REALTORS®. “Condos are often the most affordable, attractive option for first time home buyers.”

“These new rules have the potential to transform our housing market and regional economy, easing affordability constraints, maximizing first-time homebuyer assistance programs and putting homeownership in reach for countless families that would have continued to be denied this critical wealth-building opportunity.”

 

Inventory Down – Home Prices Up

 

According to the latest report from Columbus Realtors® 3,868 homes and condos were listed in July 2019. This is down slightly month over month and year over year.

Despite fewer new listings, total inventory last month was up to 5,009, that’s the highest so far this year, but it’s still down 3.4% compared to last year.

In July, the median sale price was $220k. That’s up 7.3% from July of last year. The average sale price moved up 5.6% YOY to $251,936.

“Even though homes are selling for higher prices due to the lack of inventory and strong demand, sellers need to be realistic when pricing their home,” added Myers. “Homes priced too high over their competition will usually sit on the market longer which can be a deterrent to would-be buyers.”

“That’s why it’s critical that sellers consult with a REALTOR® when marketing their home.”

In other words, you could shoot yourself in the foot by overpricing your home in Columbus.

 

It’s Still A Good Time To Buy

 

Though this is a sellers market in Columbus, people thinking about buying a home shouldn’t wait.

First, interest rates are down, making homes more affordable now than the recent past.

Second, home values are predicted to rise. Zillow predicts a 4% increase in home values in Columbus over the next year.

Third, the market is HOT in Columbus! In fact, Columbus recently moved up to the 3rd hottest market from the 7th, according to a recent report from Realtor.com.

While big coastal city markets are slowing down, people are moving to Columbus for the career opportunities and lower cost of living. Plus, it’s just a great place to live, so of course lots of people are relocating to Columbus.

Columbus OH Housing Update June 2019

Central Ohio Homes Selling SUPER Fast

Homes were already selling quickly in the Columbus area, but in June the Average Days On Market fell to 23.

Affordable homes priced at $350k or less, where the most demand is, sold even faster at an average of 18 days.

Homes in the $350k-$500k price range sold in an average of 30 days (still very fast).

Meanwhile, home priced from $500k-$700k sold in about 53 days, and homes over $700k sold in about 72 days.

This market mismatch has been happening for some time in the Columbus area. Current market conditions may be ideal for home owners who are ready to move up from their starter or even second home depending on their price point.

“In addition to price, location and condition of the home play a vital role in determining the demand and length of time it will take a property to sell,” said John Myers, 2019 President of Columbus REALTORS®. “And marketing strategies vary significantly based on all of these factors.”

In June 2019, 3,965 homes and condos were listed for sale in Central Ohio. That’s down by 9.8% compared to May 2019 and down 2.4% compared to last year.

Central Ohio inventory was down 2.6% compared to last year, but up compared to May. Total inventory was up by 7.1% in June from May.

The number of homes sold in Central Ohio in June was unchanged from May, but fell by 3.4% compared to last year.

Central Ohio Home Prices Up Again

The average sale price in June was $262,344. That’s a 7.2% increase from June 2018.

The median sale price was $228,000, up 7.5% from last year.

“Even with the price increases, low mortgage rates are keeping homes affordable. But demand is also keeping the pace highly competitive,” added Myers.

“That’s why using a REALTOR® is so important as they can help both buyers and sellers navigate this unique housing market.”
