“We couldn’t be more grateful to have had Brandi by our side for the purchase of our third home! I’ve known her since I was a child, so having someone I’ve trusted for so many years help us through such an important milestone made this experience even more special. She was patient, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right home for our growing family. She listened to what we wanted, answered every question, talked us through every concern, and made us feel supported and confident throughout the entire process. She truly cared about our family and wanted us to find a place where we could make lasting memories. We cannot recommend her enough!! Thank you so much, AGAIN, Brandi!!”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jun 2026 - Aug 2026).
Inventory in Columbus has expanded modestly in this rolling three-month view, with about 395 active listings, up slightly from last year. New listings have also risen year over year, while homes sold and pending sales have both dipped, signaling slower contract flow. With months of supply up more than a third from a year ago to 2.5 months, buyers are seeing a bit more breathing room, even though conditions still lean toward sellers.
Home values have pushed higher over the past year despite the softer pace of sales. The typical home value is up around 9 percent year over year, and the median list price has climbed by a similar pace, showing that sellers are still pricing with confidence. At the same time, homes are taking longer to sell than a year ago, with median days on market rising to about a month.
Price pressure appears to be easing at the extremes, as only about 10 percent of recent sales closed above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio has edged down slightly compared with last year. This combination of higher prices, slower sales, and more inventory points to a market where careful pricing and negotiation matter. Buyers trying to secure the right home and sellers aiming to stand out can both benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding a local agent who understands these trends.

“Robert VanHook has been involved in three of our real estate transactons over the years. He is very knowledgeable and experienced. He has a handle on all the tools needed to get our home on the market and secure the best offers. His advise on what we could expect, as far as pricing and timing, were spot on. He was also a valuable source for repairmen. We have been very pleased with the outcomes of all three transactions and we highly recommend him.”
“Rachel is professional, responsive, and knowledgeable about the industry. It's evident she cares about her clients by the way she prepares and works with them through the entire process. We recommend her to everyone we know!”
“This is the second property that we've sold with Rebekah in the previous year. As with our first experience, we truly have no notes for what Rebekah could have done better. In both instances she provided an action plan for items that were and weren't worth addressing prior to listing and in both cases her initial estimate is exactly what the property sold for, with little to no friction throughout the process. You won't find a better realtor and we will continue to work with her for all future endeavors.”
“Erica Dickey was amazing to work with. she is extremely patient, knowledgable, and professional. she truly cared about what was important to me when it came to selling and buying my home. she made this entire process feel much less stressful and was there every time i needed anything. i would highly recommend Erica to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home.”
“We have worked with Stockton both buying and selling in Bloomington. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anybody that is looking in the area. He's fantastic to work with.”
“We had a great experience with Colleen, very knowledgeable and available at all times we needed. Will use her again with any future real estate dealings.”
“Scott was great, super knowledgeable and worked diligently to help us get the home we wanted. We're first time homebuyers and he went above and beyond to make sure everything went smooth. He also gave me lots of contacts for home repair and service. I look forward to working with Scott again when it comes time to sell. I strongly recommend Scott to anyone looking to buy a home!!!”
“Cindy and Michael Stockhaus are, by far, the best realtors I've dealt with. Aside from their professionalism, their communication, their availability, their patience, and their overall knowledge, they are people with heart. This wasn't an easy sale, for any of us, but they maintained professionalism and absolutely seemed to care about me and what I was going through in this process of selling my dad's home. Thank you for the recommendation!”
“Justin was most helpful dealing with an uncooperative property manager. He got the property sold quickly. I was very happy with his performance.”
“Carlos was fantastic! He took charge when the buyer's relator wasn't moving things along. Carlos gave very honest feedback to our questions. We have been referring friends and family to Carlos nonstop since partnering with him to sell our home.”
