Thinking about selling your home in Columbus, Indiana?
Even though homes aren’t selling quite as fast as they did during the pandemic, the 2025 market is still moving quickly — and sellers continue to have the upper hand.
📊 What’s Happening in the Columbus Market
The biggest challenge in our local market right now is a shortage of homes for sale.
Here’s what current data shows:
Home prices are up — the median home price in Columbus is around $290,000, up more than 10% from last year.
Inventory remains tight — there simply aren’t enough listings to meet buyer demand.
Homes are still selling faster than normal — while not as instantly as in 2021 or 2022, most well-priced homes are going under contract within a few weeks.
When demand is steady and supply stays low, sellers are in a strong position.
💡 What That Means for You as a Seller
This shortage of listings gives today’s sellers a real advantage:
Less competition means your home stands out.
Strong buyer demand can lead to multiple offers or better terms.
Solid home values are holding steady across Bartholomew County.
🏡 How to Make the Most of the Market
If you’re planning to sell this year:
Price it right from the start. Buyers recognize value and move quickly on well-priced homes.
Make a great first impression. Clean, declutter, and invest in professional photos — most buyers start their search online.
Be ready to move quickly. Even though days on market are longer than during the pandemic, good homes still sell fast when they’re prepared and priced correctly.
📈 The Bottom Line
While the market has cooled slightly from the frenzy of the past few years, Columbus is still a strong seller’s market.
Low inventory and steady buyer activity mean homeowners who list now are in a great position to attract motivated buyers and secure a strong sale price.
If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to sell — this may be it.
