We're seeing a notable shift in the Central Ohio starter-home market: more affordable listings, frequent price reductions, and less competition at the negotiating table. In fact, sales in this segment have dropped by 5.4%, giving buyers more leverage and room for negotiation. Meanwhile, luxury sales ticked up 6.2%. With mortgage rates hovering near 6.8%, affordability is still a challenge, but the advantage is swinging back toward buyers—especially those entering the market for the first time. My focus has always been on providing clarity and confidence through changes like these, whether you're searching for your first home, a new build, or an investment property. I’m committed to ensuring you have the insight and strategy needed to make the most of evolving opportunities in our market.
