December home sales increase as central Ohio market closes out 2025

The latest data from Columbus REALTORS® gives us a clear snapshot of how the market wrapped up 2025 — and what we’re carrying into 2026.

Here’s what stands out:

🏡 Sales are still moving
Closed sales rose 5.6% year over year in December, and 2025 finished with more total sales than 2024.

💰 Prices are stabilizing
The December median price landed at $322,000, giving both buyers and sellers a more predictable pricing environment heading into the new year.

📦 Inventory is growing — seasonally
Inventory is up 14% year over year, but dipped month-to-month as expected during winter. This is a normal seasonal pattern, not a slowdown signal.

⏱️ Homes are taking longer to sell
Average days on market increased to 43 days, which means buyers have more time — and sellers need a smart pricing and prep strategy.

📍 Location still matters
Areas like Olentangy Schools and Hilliard saw strong year-over-year gains, reinforcing that neighborhood-level data matters more than broad headlines.
