The Columbus Real Estate market is still well and homes are selling. We have seen several multiple offers on properties lately. Columbus has traditionally outperformed the national market and continues to do so.

Sellers – your home must be in top condition and priced right OR priced well below the market if you don’t want to prepare it properly.

Buyers – don’t expect major concessions from sellers. Offers at 10% or more below ask price are likely to be rejected. Be realistic in your expectations and don’t be swayed by media and national statistics.
