Why Central Ohio Is Still A Good Place For Home Buyers

Chris and Alissa Widman Neese from Axios Columbus discuss the Columbus housing market, which ranked 12th in Zillow's 2025 hottest markets, a slight drop from 3rd place the previous year. Alissa attributes this to increased housing inventory, making it easier for buyers but still favorable for sellers. Ohio cities like Columbus, Cincinnati (11th), and Cleveland (14th) offer more affordable options compared to other parts of the country. Alissa also explains Axios Columbus, a weekday email newsletter covering local news, including real estate, sports, and culture, and encourages support for local journalism.
