According to Punxsutawney Phil, it’s almost spring. You know what that means? The real estate market is about to explode.
That’s not just advice coming from a groundhog either, most realtors would agree. And while the market is still very competitive, that’s not to say that you can’t find a good deal.
3975 Poppyseed Ct
Neighborhood: Groveport
Specs: 3 bedrooms/1 full bath
Price: $135,000
What we love: The walk-in closet in the master bedroom has storage galore, and the potential for extra living space in the as yet unfinished attic. Not to mention the two car detached garage and super-sized backyard.
603 Chestershire Rd
Neighborhood: Hilltop
Specs: 3 bedrooms/1.5 bathrooms
Price: $135,000
What we love: The outdoor living space, coupled with the partially finished basement, means there’s plenty of room for your family to spread out. Personally, I feel like the Hilltop has a bad rap, though that seems to be slowly changing. Now’s the perfect time to get your foot in the door, before property values spike.
3005 Wicklow Rd
Neighborhood: Westgate
Specs: 3 bedrooms/1.5 baths
Price: $134,900
What we love: It’s charming and has a lot of the original features from when it was built in 1938. The kitchen is recently updated, and the neutral palette means you can make it your own. The one thing not neutral? That pink bathroom. But, I am here for that.
2106 Genessee Ave
Neighborhood: Linden
Specs: 3 bedrooms/1.5 baths
Price: $132,500
What we love: Dedicated first-floor laundry and a neutral, updated kitchen. Plus, it’s within walking distance to the local elementary school.
2870 Brownlee Ave
Neighborhood: Eastmoor
Specs: 3 bedrooms/1.5 baths
Price: $131,900
What we love: Location, location, location. Just outside of Bexley, in the desirable Eastmoor neighborhood, this property is so close to St Catherine’s, you’ll be able to smell the fish fry. It’s kind of a blank slate, which is a plus, perfect to customize but still move in ready!
1003-1005 Oakwood Ave
Neighborhood: Southern Orchards
Specs: Looks like 3 bed/1.5 bath on each side
Price: $130,000
What we love: I am having a hard time understanding why I don’t already live here? Gorgeous home with plenty of original features, plus the possibility of rental income on half the duplex. It practically pays for itself. This is an up and coming neighborhood, and in biking distance to German Village. Needs some work, but you know what they say about “good bones.”
1607 Mooberry St
Neighborhood: Driving Park
Specs: 3 bedrooms/1.5 bath
Price: $129,900
What we love: What don’t we love? Beautifully renovated, bamboo floors, that gorgeous kitchen with range hood, built in wardrobe, soaking tub…somebody stop me! All of that, plus walking distance to public schools and easy access to public transit.
1305 Lockbourne Rd
Neighborhood: Merion Village
Specs: 3 bedrooms/2 baths
Price: $129,900
What we love: The exposed brick for one, would you look at that bathroom? There’s plenty of natural light and I love the bungalow style of the outside, combined with all of the modern updates within.
