In a recent blog post, we talked about Columbus being the hottest “hipster” real estate market for young adults. New statistics are backing this up, and placing Hilliard in a shared spotlight for Millennial appeal!
According to Columbus Business First, Hilliard places at #10 in the list of 50 Hottest Zip Codes in the U.S. for home sales. An influx of young adults is behind the surge, as evidenced by Millennials possessing 41% of the new mortgages on record. The home ownership rate among Millennials residing in zip code 43026 is an admirable 59%.
Just how popular is Hilliard? The pace of 2017 home sales suggests it’s among the top choices for today’s buyers, with homes selling in about 25 days on average. This is 37% faster than the pace of last year’s home sales, which were already brisk.
With popularity comes higher prices. Hilliard home prices increased 24.8% from 2016, reaching a median list price of $259,011.
Millennials, and home buyers of all generations, are drawn to Hilliard for its housing affordability as well as its variety of amenities. Beautiful parks, hiking trails and tree-lined streets are complimented by high-rated schools, a charming downtown and ample shopping and dining.
