Housing Market Update September 2022

Posted on October 15, 2022 by admin

The Housing Market Update September 2022 data from Columbus Realtors continued to support that the local housing shortage is as bad as ever, with low supplies and rising prices.

Note: LSD= Local School District, CSD= City School District. In both cases, school district boundaries differ from city boundaries.

The least populated counties saw some of the largest swings either positively or negatively, which is typically the case given that prices can be determined by a much smaller number of home sales.

Overall Market Median Sales Price in September 2022: $316,812
Based on the 10 Columbus Metro Area counties, the metro price saw about a $10,000 increase over August 2022 and a more than $42,000 increase versus September 2021.
Overall Market Median Sales Price % Change in September 2022 versus September 2021: +15.4%

Now let’s take a look at individual neighborhoods and places within the metro area.

New Albany and some of the other expected suburbs continued to top the charts, but with prices not quite as high as over the summer.

Just 4 local markets out of more than 50 remained below the $200K market in September. Columbus itself was in it usual spot closer to the *relatively* more affordable bottom.

Total Metro New Listings in September 2022: 2,725
Total Metro New Listings Change from September 2021 to September 2022: -500
Year-over-year, new listings were down significantly across the metro area, but especially in Franklin County.

Average # of Days Homes Remain on the Market Before Sale for the Metro Overall in September 2022: 19.9
# of Days Homes Remain on the Market Before Sale for the Metro September 2021 vs. September 2022: -0.3
Homes across the market sold slightly faster than a year ago, but largely due to significant drops in a few rural counties. Most counties saw small increases.

The vast majority of local markets saw substantial increases in the number of days before sale, which is pretty much the only measurement indicating the seller’s market may finally be showing some signs of weakness.

Immigrant Place of Birth Map

Posted on August 18, 2022 by admin

Columbus has a rapidly-growing immigrant population, with nearly 13% of the total population being foreign-born in 2020. But where exactly are these immigrant coming from, and where are they settling down in Columbus and Franklin County? To answer these questions, I visited the US Census and made this immigrant place of birth map from the raw data.

Click on any census tract to see the total immigrant population in 2020, a percentage breakdown by continent of origin and the top 5 nations of origin for each tract.

View larger map

From the map, we can see that the Northwest and Northeast parts of Columbus and Franklin County are dominated by immigrants of Asian origin. Hilltop, Linden and parts of the Southeast are much more North American in origin, with the 161/Morse corridors and the Far East largely have African origins. There are relatively few South American or European dominated areas, but they do exist scattered about.
Some common misconceptions are debunked, however. Hilltop through Lincoln Village has long been thought to be the hub of the Mexican immigrant population, but several Latin American nations have significant populations there, including Honduras, El Salvador and Colombia. Many Mexicans seem to be settling in the Linden area now, instead. Meanwhile, Somalia is often considered as the origin of many immigrants in the Morse/161 corridors, and while that population does exist there, these corridors are far more diverse than common thinking.

2020 census tract maps are currently available for all sorts of other demographic and population data. This information in tract format is generally available for Columbus going back to 1930.
