What Columbus Home Buyers Need To Know
Not only is it a Seller’s Market in Central Ohio, but seasonally this is also the busiest and most competitive time for home buying.
Many buyers are frustrated by the extremely low housing inventory and rising prices, but stick with it and don’t lose hope. It’s still good time to buy a home thanks to interest rates that remain near historic lows and rising rents.
Home buyers that work with an experienced Realtor typically find and buy their home faster. Contact us at the Rita Boswell Group to find your ideal home.
