August’s existing-home sales data tells an interesting story for anyone tracking the Central Ohio market: sales dipped by 2.0% from July and 1.2% year-over-year, landing at 3.98 million—the lowest since June 2025. Yet, inventory actually saw a 3.2% increase, reaching 1.62 million units, and the median price edged up 1.6% to $429,100. This uptick in inventory, alongside moderate price growth, can open new doors for buyers and investors, even as overall sales slow. For those considering their next move—whether it’s a first home, a new-build, or an investment property—understanding these shifts is essential for making confident decisions. I’m always focused on helping clients interpret trends like these, so you can navigate the evolving landscape with clarity and a strategy tailored to your goals.
