It’s a busy summer for home buyers in Central Ohio! During June 2026, Central Ohio homes spent an average of 25 days on market before going under contract. According to data from the Columbus and Central Ohio Regional MLS, June home sale transactions were up 5% compared to last year.
Overall home supply remains below normal, however. As of June, Central Ohio had 2.2 months of home supply, which is well below the 4 to 6 month supply of historic norms. In other words, at the current pace of sales, all available homes would be sold in just over 2 months, if no new properties came to market.
Robust home demand is often followed by rising home prices. Fortunately for Central Ohio buyers, a 7% increase in year-over-year home inventory helped temper home price growth. The median sales price of a Central Ohio home was $352,000 during June, reflecting a modest gain of .06% compared to June 2025.
This is a broad overview, however. Home prices in each Central Ohio community have their own trends. For example:
- Bexley median sales price: $665,000
- Dublin (Corp.) median sales price: $675,000
- Upper Arlington median sales price: $710,000
- Downtown Columbus (43215) median sales price: $373,000
The Central Ohio markets showing the strongest sales growth year-over-year include:
- South-Western City School District (Grove City): 181 closed sales, up 19.9%
- Westerville City School District: 133 closed sales, up 23.1%
- Big Walnut Local School District (Sunbury): 41 closed sales, up 46.4%
