Bottom Line For Columbus OH Home Sellers
If you need to sell a home, it is still a Seller’s Market overall, so it’s a good time list your home for sale. You’ve still got time to sell a home and move before the start of the holiday season. And, depending on the price point of your home, it could still sell very quickly.
Get in touch with Realtor Rita Boswell to find out if it’s a good time to sell your home.
Bottom Line For Columbus OH Home Buyers
It’s still a Seller’s Market, but fall and winter are generally a great time to buy a home.
October is the best month to purchase a home in Central Ohio. So, now is the time to be seriously house hunting.
With Market Mismatch conditions continuing, it’s perfect for move-up buyers. Starter homes remain in demand, but the higher price points are more balanced. It remains a Buyer’s Market in the Over $750k price range.
Statistically, home buyers that use a real estate agent purchase faster. Contact us at the Rita Boswell Group to find your next home.
