WOW! Most agents were pretty busy in April as buyers hustled to take advantage of the gov’t Tax Credits that would expire the end of April. Lots of homes closed plus many more went into contract. Here’s the results for Jan-Apr 2010 as compared to 2009 for the number of homes sold in some of the school districts around metro Columbus.
- Worthington SD home sales were up 35% vs 2009.
- Hilliard SD home sales were up 32% vs 2009.
- Buckeye Valley SD home sales were up 27% vs 2009.
- Olentangy SD home sales were up 23% vs 2009.
- Delaware SD home sales were up 9% vs 2009.
- Dublin SD home sales were up 2% vs 2009.
- Big Walnut SD home sales were down 9% vs 2009.
The white bars in the graph show the number of homes that are in-contract as of May 4, when I pulled this data from the MLS system. So the sales should remain strong for May as more homes go into contract during May.

The housing sales shown above only include single family homes that were in the CBR MLS system. It does not include condos or new builds, unless those new builds were entered into the MLS system.

Good to see that things are strong in your area too. Hope the tax credit effect isn’t all that big…
