Market Snapshot
Columbia Housing Market Conditions
Columbia's housing market had already been grappling with an affordability issue that a continued rise in borrowing costs and a steady increase in home prices has only exacerbated. Still, many analysts predict that the area housing market will be one of the best in 2023 as home prices and sales continue to rise. That said, a growing gap between new home starts and closings may result in a supply that outpaces demand.
Nonetheless, new housing developments continue to move forward, and there will be no shortage of new homes for sale in Columbia through 2023. Unfortunately, not everyone in the Columbia area is welcoming the growth, and longtime area residents are becoming increasingly vocal in their opposition to new housing in the region. Time will tell whether their resistance affects the Columbia housing market long-term.
