Columbus OH Real Estate Market — What Sellers Need to Know
Columbus is the county seat of Franklin County, Ohio, and the former rubber capital of the world. According to Redfin (March 2026), the median sale price is $290,000 (+3.9% YoY), with 47 days on market and a Compete Score of 65. About 34.1% of Columbus's housing units were built in 1939 or earlier per 2024 ACS Census data. This older stock — bungalows, American foursquares, colonials, and Cape Cods throughout Goodyear Heights, Kenmore, Firestone Park, and East Columbus — carries Columbus's rubber-era character and often carries significant repair needs.
Ohio sellers pay a conveyance fee rather than a transfer tax. Franklin County charges $4.00 per $1,000 of sale price (rounded to next $100) plus $0.50 per lot, paid to the Franklin County Fiscal Office Recording Division (175 S. Main St., 4th Floor, Columbus OH 44308, Mon–Fri 7:30 AM–4:00 PM). DTE Forms 100 and 100(EX) required; forms received by 3:30 PM process same business day. Ohio uses judicial foreclosure; Franklin County mortgage sheriff sales go online through RealAuction on Fridays at 10:00 AM.
Market data last updated: March 2026 · Batch 002 source restriction honored: Columbus is approved for build coverage; Houzeo outlier and city-transfer-add-on claims are excluded unless verified by title review.

On a $151,750 Columbus median-sale home, a 5–6% agent commission runs $7,588–$9,105. Add Franklin County's conveyance fee (~$607), carrying costs during 42 days on market, and repairs to pre-1940 housing stock. Average homes sell for about 3% below list price. A direct cash sale eliminates those costs entirely. Hot homes can sell for about 2% above list and go pending in around 12 days (Redfin, Mar 2026).
