Where demand concentrates
Columbus demand spans walkable in-town districts and fast-growing suburbs, drawing both young professionals and relocation buyers. With inventory rising, the well-presented listings in these areas are the ones that still move quickly. Here's where homes are performing and how to market them.
The areas to watch
