Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).

Inventory in Columbus is relatively tight in this rolling three-month view, with 22 active listings and only 2.4 months of supply. Contract activity has picked up compared with a year ago, as homes sold are up sharply and pending sales have more than doubled year over year. At the same time, new listings have increased from last year, suggesting more owners are testing the market even as choices for buyers remain limited.

Pricing is adjusting from last year’s higher levels. The typical home value is down slightly year over year, and the median list price has fallen at a faster pace, indicating sellers may be pricing more realistically to meet buyers where they are.

Homes are moving more quickly than a year ago, with the median days on market edging down to about two weeks and over 40 percent of listings going off the market within two weeks. Roughly one-third of recent sales closed above the list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 100 percent, showing that well-priced homes still attract strong offers without as many aggressive bidding wars as in prior periods. With these shifting conditions and notable changes in both activity and pricing, buyers and sellers in Columbus can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting them with an experienced local agent to navigate their next move.



Learn more about what Columbus has to offer.

Columbus offers residents a welcoming, family-friendly community with plentiful parks and trails, strong schools, and a lively calendar of local events that make everyday life here enjoyable and convenient.

Columbus stands out from nearby communities like Forest Lake and Lino Lakes by combining wide open spaces, easy freeway access, and a strong rural identity. Residents value privacy and elbow room, yet the city sits just off I‑35, making commutes toward Anoka County and the Twin Cities straightforward.

Life in Columbus tends to revolve around the outdoors. Horse properties, hobby farms, and wooded lots are common, and destinations like Carlos Avery Wildlife Management Area and Lamprey Pass Wildlife Management Area offer miles of trails and wildlife viewing. Families appreciate access to the Forest Lake Area Schools system, while the Running Aces Casino, Hotel & Racetrack brings dining, entertainment, and seasonal events close to home.

Daily needs are easily met with shopping and services in nearby Ham Lake and Centerville, yet Columbus retains a quieter, low‑density character. City information, permits, and community updates are well documented through the City of Columbus website, which underscores active local governance and long‑term planning.

For buyers, the mix of acreage, newer construction, and long‑held family homes means preparation and timing are crucial in a low‑turnover market. Sellers benefit from pricing and marketing that highlight land, outbuildings, and location. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers in Columbus with an agent who understands these local nuances and can help them move at the right moment.

“Haewon Park helped me buy a townhome in Eden Prairie this fall, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. We were buying from Iowa while I was starting a new job in Minnesota, so we needed an agent who could be our eyes on the ground. Haewon was exactly that. She video-walked properties for us, gave honest opinions on condition and HOA health, and knew the Eden Prairie market well enough to tell us right away which listings were priced well and which weren’t. When we found the right home, she negotiated hard and got the price down, which made a real difference for us. Through inspection, financing, and title, she kept every party on schedule and answered my questions within the hour, every time. We closed on time on October 26 with no surprises. As a licensed REALTOR in Iowa myself, I pay close attention to how other agents run a transaction. Haewon’s communication, organization, and negotiation skills are top tier. If you’re relocating to the Twin Cities or buying from out of state, she’s the agent to call.”

“Daisy was absolutely wonderful to work with and made the very frightening experience of being a first time homebuyer feel like a walk in the park. From assisting with lending to negotiating with the sellers and title company she was a dream to work with. She was very responsive to texts and calls (we were negotiating via text while I was at the state fair and even at a concert! Lots of late evening conversations and concessions from the sellers!) She really helped me through the entire process making sure all of my questions and concerns were addressed from start to close. I’m also a Veteran and she is familiar with the VA loan and inspection process and all went smoothly. At closing she brought us a huge balloon bouquet and a cute flower arrangement and then left a large gift basket with champagne and other goodies to enjoy at our new home! She really just went above and beyond and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a home. Thank you so much Daisy, you helped make my dream of home ownership a reality!”

“Working with Tim was an outstanding experience! Selling our home while preparing for a cross-country move was a huge undertaking, especially with the tight timeline we were working against. From our very first conversation, Tim helped us understand the process, set realistic expectations, and feel confident in our decisions. As sellers who had never been through the selling process before, we especially appreciated his patience and willingness to walk us through every step. He was always available to answer questions, kept us updated, and helped us navigate the unexpected challenges that came up along the way. Tim truly understood how important our timeline was and worked hard to help us get our house sold so we could start our next chapter in Florida. His knowledge, responsiveness, and genuine commitment to his clients made what could have been an incredibly stressful experience so much easier. We can’t thank Tim enough for everything he did to help make our move possible. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and dedicated realtor!”

“Scott and Nick Breuer at First Choice Realty Solutions made the first-time home-buying experience for my partner and I a breeze! We were very happy with how quickly they communicated with us and how willing they were to answer any questions we had along the way. Being first-time homebuyers, there was a lot we didn’t know about the process, but they always took the time to explain things and make sure we felt comfortable and at ease. They made the whole process feel a lot less stressful and were great to work with from start to finish. We really appreciated having people we could trust and rely on throughout such a big milestone in our lives. We would definitely recommend Scott and Nick to anyone looking to buy a home, especially other first-time homebuyers. We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with them!”

“Ryan provided such a wonderful real estate experience for us which all started at the early stages of planning prior to listing our White Bear Lake, MN home. During the early planning stages Ryan provided recommendations and offered guidance to market our home in this unique real estate market. After a few months of planning we listed our home with Ryan and it SOLD in just a couple days. During this time we still had not found our next home to purchase. Within a short period of time and with Ryan's large network we were notified of a new listing coming up. In a matter of a couple days we had signed and had a closing date on our NEW home that we plan to raise our family in. Ryan's truly responsible for making our experience so positive and stress free. Since closing we have recommended Ryan to friends and family. If you are looking for a top-notch real estate professional I would recommended looking no further and start your own experience with him.”

“I can’t say enough great things about Michael! From start to finish, he truly went above and beyond to make the entire process of selling my home as smooth and stress-free as possible. Michael was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and always willing to take the extra time to answer my questions and talk through anything that came up. I never felt like I was just another client — he genuinely cared about making sure I felt comfortable and confident throughout the process. Selling a home and making a big move can be stressful, but having Michael in my corner made such a difference. He was professional, patient, honest, and proactive every step of the way. I’m extremely grateful for everything he did and couldn’t recommend him more highly. If you’re looking for a realtor who will truly go above and beyond for you, Michael is your guy!”

“Peter was AMAZING!! He helped us from the beginning, and as first time homebuyers we didn’t know much about the process or what to expect, but he made sure to always inform us and help us in every way possible. He went above and beyond, always replying quick and with a kind spirit, sincerely if you’re looking for a realtor, there’s no one better than Peter”

“Todd and Deena Anderson exceeded my expectations as realtors. When we signed them as our selling agents, I thought I was merely getting access to the MLS listing service, a few open houses, and (paying) a reasonably low commission rate. What I got in return was much more: Todd and Deena were key to our home selling FAST, and with ABOVE-ASKING offers. On the very FIRST day the home was on the market, we received TWO offers! (And n=13 requests for showings). What Todd and Deena specifically did for us: 1.) Strategically priced the home. Based on their analysis of the local real estate market and the three hours they spent touring our home, they PRICED the home at a point where it would attract a lot of attention and quality buyers, and that's exactly what happened. 2.) They provided key insight and advice on how to stage the home and helped us choose the key "polishing" efforts while prepping the home for the sale. 3.) They guided us with prompt and clear communication from start-to-finish; answering an enormous number of questions along the way. Todd and Deena provided a high quality service at great value.”

“Clint Kuipers is the best realtor in the state, and I’ll tell you why – it took us two years to finally find the right house for us. In all that time, not only was he extremely patient with us, running around to all the showings we requested, but he was supportive and protective of us as well. He listened to us, got to know us as people, understood not only our style preferences but our functional needs as well, and he’d give us honest and insightful feedback. Not once were we ever pressured to make an offer. He’s not the type who is in it for the sale; spend some time with him and you’ll see that he truly cares about helping people find the right home. You can tell when someone is passionate about what they do, and Clint is passionate about real estate – not just as a commodity, but he knows that buying a home is one of the biggest decisions a person will ever make in their lifetimes, and he takes that responsibility very seriously while still making the process feel fun. I’m a real estate photographer so I’ve worked with hundreds of different agents, but there’s a reason why I chose Clint to be our realtor. He really is the best at what he does, and I’m so grateful that he found us our forever home. Clint Kuipers is a genuinely good person and an incredible agent, and I can’t recommend him enough.”

“Al Hawkins was a pleasure to work with as first time home buyers! He was very responsive and accommodating throughout the whole process. I truly appreciated how he handles feedbacks and his openness to talk through them and provide recommendations. He was literally with us every step of the way leaving no room for assumptions or confusion. My wife and I are blessed to have worked with Al as an agent that became a friend.”

“Our Realtor-Neighbor…or Neighbor-Realtor… There are realtors. Then there is A Realtor. And in our case, a Realtor-Neighbor. Or a NEIGHBOR-Realtor. After 19 years in Apple Valley, we bid farewell to the home we loved end of June – with the help of Misty May & Hayden Farris, of Coldwell Banker Realty. Our review will not do Misty & Team justice in all that they have done for us in decluttering, coordinating repairs, donating unwanted items, negotiating the best possible price, and a myriad of other to-do’s in prepping our property for sale. As our neighbors, Misty and Family were wonderful, being our trusted go-to for anything pertaining to the house as we travelled plenty in the few years leading up to putting the house up for sale. As our Realtor, Misty and Team were most resourceful in providing guidance, patience, and grace as we took time to get the house ready for staging and listing – her expertise shows when we saw the post-staging photoshoot, exclaiming to ourselves, “We would buy this house!” Their expertise and ease of working with in-person, remotely online, via calls for discussions and decisions, all assuringly helped us sleep well at night through the 6-month journey to get our house SOLD! For that we are grateful and certainly will recommend Misty, Hayden & their team of make-things-happen crew to any home buyers or sellers! THANK YOU, Misty & Team!”
