Overall Real Estate Market Update – Jan 2023

The Columbus, Ohio, real estate market has experienced significant changes in key metrics over the past year. According to data from the Columbus Realtors Association, closed sales decreased by 19.2% from 1876 in 2022 to 1515 in 2023. Similarly, the number of homes in contracts dropped by 12.9%, with 2522 in 2022 compared to 2197 in 2023. These declines may be attributed to several factors, including decreased housing inventory, increased buyer competition, and overall market uncertainty.

Despite these declines in sales and contracts, the average sales price increased by 4.0% from $290,828 in 2022 to $302,464 in 2023. Similarly, the median sales price increased by 5.1% from $250,000 in 2022 to $262,750 in 2023. These increases may be attributed to the high demand for homes in the region, particularly in the most sought-after neighborhoods.

The average price per square foot also increased 5.8% from $167.31 in 2022 to $177.07 in 2023. This increase suggests buyers are willing to pay more for homes that offer more space, mainly as remote work is a significant factor for many individuals and families.

However, the data also shows buyers are negotiating harder on price, with the percent of the original list price received and the percent of last list price received decreasing by 3.5% and 2.3%, respectively. These declines indicate that buyers are increasingly price-sensitive and are looking for better deals in a competitive market.

Additionally, the number of days on the market until a sale increased by 45.5% from 22 in 2022 to 32 in 2023, indicating that homes are taking longer to sell. This could be due to the decrease in demand for homes and increased competition among sellers.

The number of new listings also decreased by 14.0%, with 2179 in 2022 compared to 1873 in 2023. Despite this decrease, the median list price of new listings increased by 7.7% from $259,900 in 2022 to $279,900 in 2023. This suggests that sellers are looking to take advantage of the high demand and may be more confident in their ability to sell their homes at higher prices.

Finally, the inventory of homes for sale increased by 29.2% from 1913 in 2022 to 2471 in 2023, and the months supply of inventory increased by 50.0% from 0.6 in 2022 to 0.9 in 2023. These increases in inventory could be a result of more people listing their homes for sale or homes staying on the market longer.

Overall, the Columbus real estate market has seen some significant changes in key metrics over the past year. It is important for both buyers and sellers to be aware of these changes and to work with knowledgeable real estate professionals to make informed decisions. As always, the market remains dynamic, and careful consideration of all factors is essential for success.
