Columbus was just named America’s Most Popular Housing Market.
You’re living in the nation’s most sought-after housing market, according to the latest rankings from Realtor.com — and it's exciting to know that others across the country are starting to take notice, too.
A city on the rise.
This surge is driven by our city’s affordability, a strong job market with major companies heavily investing in Columbus (like Intel, Google, Facebook, and Amazon), combined with the vibrant energy from Ohio State University. With an average home price of $384,784, Columbus offers a rare mix of urban perks and suburban affordability.

What this means for homeowners.
As a current Columbus resident, this growing popularity means you’re sitting on a valuable asset. With demand high and inventory low, homes in Columbus are selling faster and at higher prices than ever. Whether you’ve been considering selling or just want to keep an eye on the market, now is a great time to evaluate your home’s value.
A competitive landscape for homebuyers.
For those looking to buy another home in the area, it’s essential to be prepared. The competition is fierce, with homes often receiving multiple offers within days of hitting the market. If you’re thinking about upgrading, downsizing, or even investing in a second property, you’ll need a strong game plan to secure the home you want in this hot market.
Out-of-state interest.
Interestingly, Columbus isn’t just attracting local buyers — we’re seeing a surge of interest from out-of-state shoppers, especially from regions like the Northeast, South, and even the West Coast. This demand is driving competition and contributing to Columbus’ rapid growth.
Understand your options.
Living in Columbus means you’re already ahead of the curve, but with the market heating up, now might be the perfect time to explore your options.
