It will take work. Columbus's Sold Score is 29/100 (Difficult Selling Environment) as of August 2026 — homes still sell, but pricing, presentation, and patience matter more than they did during the seller-friendly years.
Buyers are converting active listings into contracts at a pending ratio of 0.10, the strongest single indicator that homes are moving. Inventory is down -25.3% year over year, which reduces competition among sellers. The typical home in Columbus sits 68 days on market before going under contract. About 35.8% of active listings have cut their price — pricing to the market on day one is the single biggest lever.
Bottom line: in Columbus right now, your sale outcome is driven more by **list price and condition** than by macro market timing. A pricing analysis against the comps in your specific neighborhood is the best next step.
