The Franklin County housing market in May 2026
Prices in Franklin County edged up to a median of $347,375 in May 2026, 4.2% higher than a year earlier. Homes listed that month had a median asking price of $339,900, and sold for a median of $203 per square foot. The average sale closed at 100.1% of asking price and 39% of homes sold above list, so buyers are still bidding against each other.
There were 3,785 homes for sale at the end of May, up 5% from a year earlier, or 2.3 months of supply, still on the sellers' side. The typical home that sold had been listed for 38 days, 1 day longer than a year earlier. 62% of homes went under contract within two weeks of listing. Compared with May 2025, owners listed 2% more homes and sales were up 8%.
24% of listings had a price cut in May 2026 (1.7 points fewer than a year earlier), a moderate share.
For FSBO outreach, this means many Franklin County owners can still sell on their own, so lead with pricing data and a net-proceeds comparison rather than an offer to list.

Working Franklin County FSBO leads
- Split the list by city. Dublin (median $655,000) and Columbus (median $309,000) sit 112% apart on price, and Columbus also had the most sales in May 2026 (1,018), so one script will not fit every owner.
- Bring the numbers. On a $347,375 home, each 1% of commission is about $3,474, the money most FSBO owners are trying to keep, so a net-sheet comparison lands better than a pitch.
- Use the 38-day mark. Half of the Franklin County homes that sold in May 2026 had been listed 38 days or less, so an FSBO still for sale after that is likely stalling.
- Time it. Put your heaviest outreach into May and June, when the most Franklin County homes come to market, and ease off in December.
- Stay compliant and verify. Stop contacting any owner who says "no agents" or "no investors", confirm ownership and liens in Franklin County records before an offer, and add skip tracing for records without a phone number.
