Fort Lauderdale offers buyers a lifestyle where waterfront living meets vibrant city energy. In July 2025, the median sale price was $510,000, with homes taking about 112 days to sell. Buyers in Fort Lauderdale are paying close attention to home features like outdoor spaces, modern kitchens, and flexible floor plans, which help listings hold their value even as the market moves more slowly than last year.

Columbus's housing market is somewhat competitive: homes typically receive about 2 offers and sell in roughly 42 days. The median sale price last month was $299,000 (+3.1% YoY), while the median price per square foot came in at $189 (-2.1% YoY). According to Redfin Home Trends, buyers are drawn to homes with features like landscaped yards, large living rooms, open floor plans, and mature trees, all of which highlight what resonates regionally and what's adding value in today's market.

"The use of home staging companies is growing as more sellers seek to appeal to buyers seeking turn-key properties."
