Here's what you can get for $600,000 in Columbus, Ohio

Columbus is Ohio’s capital and its largest city.

It’s a place with a lot going on, home to Ohio State University plus National Hockey League and Major League Soccer teams.

Major companies such as Nationwide and American Electric Power are headquartered in Columbus. Other major businesses in the area include Cardinal Health, ranked No. 16 on the Fortune 500.

The coronavirus pandemic caused three months of slower-than-normal housing activity in central Ohio, according to Columbus Realtors. However, July saw the market “spike” up 12.2% from June and even 6.1% from July 2019.

In Franklin County, home to much of Columbus, the median sales price increased 11.4% year-over-year, from $210,000 in July 2019 to $234,040 in July 2020, according to the Realtors group.

The average number of days that homes sat on the market remained flat from a year earlier at just 18, even as the number of new listings increased 6.8% year-over-year to 2,247, the Realtors said.
