September brings a few notable shifts in the U.S. housing market. In August, we saw pending sales dip by 0.2% and contract signings drop 3.7%. Median list prices have edged down by 1% for the tenth consecutive month, while inventory rose 3.6%. Yet, available homes are still well below pre-pandemic levels, keeping affordability front and center. In Central Ohio, I’m seeing these national trends reflected in buyer hesitation and evolving seller strategies. Whether you’re considering your first home, navigating a move-up, or weighing investment opportunities, understanding these numbers is key. My approach—grounded in clear analysis and local expertise—helps clients cut through the noise and make confident decisions, even in a shifting market.
