2023 Mid-Year Housing Market Update




2023 Mid-Year housing market update

In the past, I’ve done individual housing market update reports on a monthly basis, but it’s proven to be somewhat impractical from a time management perspective. For 2023, I’ve decided to just do two main updates, one for the mid-year point and the other in December for the year as a whole.

Some changes for the mid-year update format will be that I will include all information January-June for all the Columbus market areas. For the larger tables, you can scroll to see all months.
