Market snapshot
According to Redfin, the median sale price in January 2026 was $429,000, a 16.7% increase from a year earlier. About 20 homes sold during the month, matching last year’s pace, while the average home took 72 days to sell. Roughly 10% of homes sold above list price, and the typical sale closed slightly below asking.
Zillow’s latest data shows the average home value at $362,868 as of late December 2025, up 2.9% year over year. Inventory was reported at 57 homes for sale at year-end, with 23 new listings added that month.
Regionally, Columbus REALTORS reported 1,747 closed sales across central Ohio in February 2026, with inventory at 1.6 months — firmly in seller’s market territory. That backdrop continues to shape conditions in Gahanna.
What’s for sale
Active listings range from condos and smaller single-family homes under $300K to larger properties in higher price tiers. Recent searches show options for buyers seeking updated homes, new construction, and properties near schools and parkland. Nearby communities such as Pickerington and Reynoldsburg offer additional choices at varying price points.
On the rental side, Realtor.com data indicates recent month-over-month softening in asking rents, even as the for-sale market remains competitive.
Outlook
With prices up year over year and inventory still constrained, buyers should expect competition, particularly for well-priced homes in move-in condition. Sellers, meanwhile, may benefit from strong demand but should note longer marketing times compared with early 2025.
