As a result, the inventory of single-family homes in the $350,000 to $475,000 range remains nearly fixed, while demand continues to increase due to the rising population.DemandPopulation growth drives housing demand.

Columbus is also experiencing strong population growth, job growth, and big corporate developments from Intel, Amazon, Google, Facebook, Honda, Microsoft, LG, and more, which keeps rental demand high and appreciation potential strong.

When choosing a market, I’d focus on population trends, job growth, rent-to-price ratios, and how landlord-friendly the state is.
