Franklin County is A
Balanced Market
Leaning to the Seller
I update this page daily at 6am so you can get the most up to date status of the Franklin County Housing Market.
Active vs Under Contract
Pending sales equal 46% of active inventory today — up from 36% this time last year as buyer absorption outpaces new listings.
536
Active
248
Pending
How to read it – the blue line is how many homes are listed for sale, and the pink line is how many are under contract waiting to close. When pink runs above blue, buyers are pulling homes off the market faster than new ones arrive — a screaming seller’s market. When blue runs well above pink, supply has the upper hand.
Months Supply of Inventory
Franklin County holds 4.22 months of housing supply — up slightly from 4.11 months last year.
4.22 months
How to read it – this is how many months it would take to sell every active listing at the current pace of sales. Under 4 leans seller, around 5 is balanced, and above 6 means buyers have time and leverage.
Percentage of List Price Sellers Receive
Homes are closing at 97.4% of their original list price — virtually unchanged from last year’s 97.5% mark.
97.4%
How to read it – this is the final sale price as a percentage of the original asking price, averaged across the last 90 days. 100% means sellers got exactly what they first asked; above 100% means bidding wars; below 95% means buyers are negotiating sellers down from their initial number.
Listings Removed
How to read it – the bars show how many listings came off the market each month without selling — typically expired, withdrawn, or cancelled. Rising bars mean more homes are struggling to find buyers; falling bars mean sellers are sticking it out or pricing has gotten closer to where the market is willing to meet them.
Sold Price
The median home price stands at $365,000 — down 8.8% from $400,000 last year.
$365,000
How to read it – the line is the median, the middle sale price each month, so half of homes sold for more and half for less. Because it ignores the occasional mansion or fixer-upper, it’s the cleanest measure of where everyday prices really sit.
Days on Market
The typical home takes 42 days to go under contract — three days longer than this time last year.
42 days
How to read it – this is how many days the typical sold home was actively listed before going under contract. Shorter is hotter — buyers are jumping fast — longer means buyers are taking their time or pricing is friction.
Listing Inventory Changes
How to read it – this is new listings minus everything that left the market (sold + removed) each month. A positive bar means inventory is building up; a negative bar means homes are leaving faster than they arrive.
Price Decreases
How to read it – this counts how many active listings had a price reduction each month. Rising bars are a soft signal that sellers are widely adjusting expectations — usually because buyers are pushing back or initial prices were too high out the gate.
Number of Listings Sold
How to read it – the bars show how many homes actually closed each month. This is the cleanest measure of real demand absorbing supply — it separates wishful list prices from the money that actually changed hands.
Price Groups
How to read it – the donut breaks every active listing into a price tier so you can see at a glance where Franklin County’s inventory is concentrated today. A heavy slice in one band tells you which price range buyers will face the most competition in.
