The graph is for homes for sale in Columbus schools for the past 15 months.  The graph and market report are for single family home sales in the Columbus City School District only.  This does not include condominiums.

You can see in the graph that months of inventory is way down from a year ago.  With 8.3 months of inventory available based on recent sales that's down from the 9.8 months available in October 2010, based on the sales las year.  Inventory typically is lower in the fourth quarter of the year in our area because of the holidays and weather.   You can see how inventory dropped from November to December 2010, but it's still higher than where we were at the end of October 2010.  It can be a good time for a home seller, less competition.

Columbus schools is so huge, I can not really do RealBird searches for neighborhoods.  I will if I get around to doing October market reports for Clintonville, West Worthington, etc. use the RealBird Google map searches.     You are welcome to use the search on either of my sites MaureenMcCabe.com or CbusHomesearch.com  to search more extensively for homes in Worthington or another Central Ohio school district or area.  Contact me if you'd like to see a home, I'd love to work with you.  My sites would give you access to virtually everything on the Columbus Board of REALTORS mls (multiple listing service) unlike the Oodle / Realbird search or  Zillow.com  or Trulia.com which only have some of the listings and often show properties that are no longer available.

Columbus Homes for Sale - October 2011 was published in November based on data available from the Columbus Board of Realtors mls at the end of October 2011.  Neither the mls or Trendgraphix guarantees the data so I can not either.  You can sometimes see small corrections to the data the next month.
