The most expensive residential sale in Franklin County in July 2026 was $13.1 million for 5681 Rager Rd in Canal Winchester, a 1988 ranch on one acre, recorded on July 8th. The price covered more than the house. The auditor’s record ties the same deal to two farm parcels on Hendren Road, about 71 acres in all. Below that sale sit four that look a lot more like a normal luxury market: three Upper Arlington houses and an Arena District condo that beat one of them.
Sale prices are public record, so every number here comes straight from the Franklin County Auditor’s books, not from listing sites. The auditor’s weekly sales reports add up to roughly 1,900 homes changing hands in the county in July, at a median price of about $315,000.
Eight sales hit $2 million or more. These are the top five.

5681 Rager Rd, Canal Winchester: $13,100,000
Sale price: $13,100,000 (July 8, 2026)
Details: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1,508 square feet on one acre, built in 1988, Canal Winchester schools
About the house: It’s a three-bedroom ranch from 1988, about 1,500 square feet, and the same parcel sold in March 2024 for $204,400. Twenty-eight months later it changed hands again as part of a $13.1 million deal that also covered two farm parcels on Hendren Road, about 71 acres. The buyer is an LLC called Canal Crossing Commerce Center. The county classes this lot as residential, so by the rules of this list it sits at number one.
4621 Hull Farm Ln, Upper Arlington: $3,795,000
Sale price: $3,795,000 (July 7, 2026)
Details: 5 bedrooms, 6 full and 2 half bathrooms, 5,341 square feet, built in 2018
About the house: If you want the biggest sale that’s really about a house, this is it. The house has white board-and-batten siding, black trim, a deep front porch and twin chimney pots, the full modern farmhouse treatment on a city street. It went up in 2018, and new construction with six full bathrooms is a rare thing in Upper Arlington, where most of the houses date from the 1920s through the 1960s. Strip out the Rager Road deal and this was July’s top sale by more than $400,000.
2528 Onandaga Dr, Upper Arlington: $3,360,000
Sale price: $3,360,000 (July 20, 2026)
Details: 3 bedrooms, 4 full and 2 half bathrooms, 5,862 square feet on about a third of an acre, built in 2007
About the house: Stone walls, a slate roof, two chimneys and a paver drive make up the outside, and inside there are only three bedrooms in nearly 5,900 square feet. That works out to almost 2,000 square feet per bedroom, which reads like a house built to entertain rather than to fill with kids. The deed was a fiduciary deed, which in plain English usually means a trust or an estate was on the selling side. It’s the biggest house in this month’s top five.
250 W Spring St Unit 1114, Arena District: $3,100,000
Sale price: $3,100,000 (July 24, 2026)
Details: 4 bedrooms, 4 full and 2 half bathrooms, 4,160 square feet, a unit in the Parks Edge condominium tower, built in 2016
About the house: This is the one entry on the list that isn’t a house. Parks Edge is the glass tower on Spring Street next to North Bank Park, and 4,160 square feet of condo is bigger than most houses in this county. County records show the unit last sold in August 2021 for about $2.9 million. Five years later it cleared $3.1 million.
2356 Oxford Rd, Upper Arlington: $2,700,000
Sale price: $2,700,000 (July 22, 2026)
Details: 4 bedrooms, 3 full and 1 half bathrooms, 3,749 square feet on nearly half an acre, built in 1935
About the house: This 1935 stone house in old Upper Arlington sold for $2 million in February 2024 and $2.7 million this July, per the auditor’s transfer record. That’s $700,000 of appreciation in about two and a half years, and the buyer this time was an LLC.
Just missed the list: three sales tied at exactly $2 million. A 2017 build on Fox Ln in Worthington closed July 6th, a 1999 house on Tarrington Ln in Upper Arlington closed July 30th, and a Bexley house on Ashbourne Rd closed July 2nd.
