CENTRAL OHIO BUYERS HUNGRY FOR GOOD HOMES
The number of homes listed for sale over the past two months is lower than the previous year suggesting the market may be beginning to adjust itself. The 3,629 homes added to the market in April were 7.0 percent lower than April, 2011 and the 3,466 new listings in March were 10.4 percent lower than the previous year.
The number of new listings January through April (12,588) is now 4.2 percent lower than the same period last year.
The number of residential homes for sale continues to decline - which is what the market needs. The inflated inventory we experienced after the housing boom of the mid 2000's caused home prices to decrease. But 2011 saw a real stabilization of those inventory levels. As a result, home sale prices are rising.
The average sale price of a central Ohio home in April was $165,324 - up 8.4 percent from last year and 7.7 over the previous month. Although inventory levels are down and sale prices are up, there appears to be no shortage of buyers.
Central Ohio home closings in April outpaced the previous month as well as the previous year. The number of April home sales (1,748) was up 5.7 percent over March of this year (1,653) and was 2.6 percent higher than homes closed in April of 2011.
Home sales this year (January through April) now exceed 2011 by 6.6 percent.
Even though inventory is down and prices are up, there's a solid market of motivated buyers out there right now. If a house comes on the market that is in good condition and is realistically priced, it's sold within days - and sometimes within hours.
ZIP Codes: 43016, 43017 Location Characteristics: Dublin was originally part of 2,000 acres of land given to Lieutenant James Holt by the US Government as payment for service in the Revolutionary War.
After several real estate transactions, John Sells and his family purchased 400 acres of land along the Scioto River in the early 1800s. This area was platted as a village in 1810. Little did he realize that his Village of Dublin would develop into one of the most progressive communities in Central Ohio. Today, the site of Sells' original purchase is known as Historic Dublin. Through well-managed growth, Dublin has preserved its historic past, while enriching the quality of life within the community. Early 19th century architecture and dry limestone fences bordering its roads add to Historic Dublin's heritage. Many of its original buildings are listed in the National Register of Historical Places.
In the 1970s, Dublin was transformed from a rural village into a suburban business center, due largely to the completion of the I-270 outerbelt and development of the Muirfield Village Golf Club and residential community. The quality of Dublin's commercial construction was established early with the development of Metro Center, the headquarters of Ashland Chemical Company and the Midwestern Volkswagen complex. With rapid business and residential growth, Dublin officially became a city in August 1987.
