Housing market heat: recent sale prices by neighborhood
What did homes here recently sell for — and how fast is the market moving? Search your address to see how your area compares, or click any neighborhood on the map. Switch between the two sale cohorts, the price change between them, or sales velocity.
How to read this map
Median price is the middle sale price of homes in a neighborhood, restricted to a trailing three-year window. We restrict by sale date on purpose: an unfiltered “last sale price” mixes a 1998 sale with a 2025 one and paints a picture of the past, not today’s market. The default is the 2023–2025 cohort; switch to 2020–2022 to see the earlier window. We count arm’s-length sales only — those above $5,000 — to drop the $0 and $1 family transfers, quitclaims, and sheriff deeds that aren’t real market prices.
Price change is the difference between the two cohorts’ medians — two complete three-year windows, so it’s a like-for-like read of where prices climbed the most (or softened). Sales velocity is the share of homes that changed hands in the last three years — how much of the housing stock is turning over, which is often a sharper read of market heat than the price level itself. The drawer shows each neighborhood’s median year built and the number of sales behind the figure.
Source: Franklin County Auditor parcel data (city open data), refreshed on the parcel ingest. Only Columbus neighborhoods are shown; the Auditor file is county-wide, so suburban parcels are excluded from the canvas. Neighborhood boundaries are the city’s area commissions, grown to cover the whole city — see methodology for boundary and suppression details. Neighborhoods with too few recent sales show as “insufficient data” rather than a noisy median.
