What was America's most popular housing market in 2024, according to Realtor.com? Look no further than Columbus, Ohio. Homes for sale in Central Ohio were racking up far more online views than the national average, indicating off-the-charts levels of interest in available properties in the region.  If it's been a few years since you sold a home in Central Ohio, you might be in for a shock the next time you plant a “for sale” sign in your yard, now that new rules have completely reshaped realtor commissions. If you're on the buying side, you'll need to be just as prepared for a housing market that's undergone profound changes since before the pandemic, with demand outpacing new construction and out-of-state “institutional” buyers with deep pockets outbidding families and snapping up investment properties.  Ths week, we navigate the new realities of buying and selling in Central Ohio's red-hot housing market.

For the first time since 2019, the all-new Columbus Foundation Community Benchmarking Report has measured how Central Ohio compares to more than 20 peer regions across more than 50 metrics and indices. Building on more than a decade of community tracking, this newest research across a range of metrics offers a clear window to understanding how Central Ohio stacks up to comparable metro areas and gives us one of the best snapshots of where our region finds itself on this side of the COVID-19 pandemic.  The findings dive deeply into five overall categories – population vitality, economic strength, personal prosperity, lifelong learning, and overall community wellbeing.  In this first of two forums, we'll reflect on the results of the last benchmarking study in 2019 before diving deep into the findings of the first two categories: Population Vitality & Economic Strength – to see how Central Ohio measures up to its peers. The complete new report can be downloaded here.

"Up The Escalator - Down The Elevator" In this episode of The Retirement Fiduciary, Adam explores the concept of "Daylight," a key metric that investors should pay close attention to when markets become volatile. Daylight refers to the average price of an investment over a specified period, offering a clearer picture of an asset's performance by smoothing out short-term fluctuations. Adam explains how this metric can help investors make better decisions, especially when market conditions are unpredictable or erratic. Using examples from the past five years, Adam illustrates how Daylight has played a role in guiding investment strategies through periods of market instability. He also discusses why it's crucial to consider Daylight alongside other financial indicators to get a more balanced view of the market.   Libertas Wealth: https://bit.ly/3HpmN2o   Subscribe on Apple Podcasts:  https://apple.co/3NQHjeO   Subscribe on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3aTTCse   Subscribe on Google Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3QmGmMU   For more VIDEO podcasts like this one: https://bit.ly/42uevkm  For more AUDIO podcasts: https://bit.ly/3PHXHzo   For educational VIDEOS and Stock Market Updates: https://bit.ly/3Tvh4yR For general financial educational ARTICLES: https://bit.ly/3VyJbzP For more Real-Time Updates on the Economy and State of the Markets Follow Adam Koós on Twitter @AdamKoos: https://bit.ly/3tzccwk   Or follow Adam on Instagram @AdamDKoos https://bit.ly/4aoPI3U --- Adam Koos, CFP®, CMT® is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER and one of only 2,600+ Chartered Market Technicians (CMT) worldwide, as well as a Certified Financial Technician (CFTe®) thru the International Federation of Technical Analysts (IFTA).
