Market Snapshot | Columbus Q2 2025

Market Overview

In Q2 2025, Columbus continued to demonstrate strong renter demand, with 3,522 units absorbed year-to-date—driven by 6,433 units absorbed over the past year, which is 40 percent above its long-term average. Average rent reached $1,368, and occupancy held at a solid 93.5 percent despite new completions totaling 4,711 units year-to-date. Although absorption still slightly trails new deliveries, slowing construction and resilient rent trends suggest Columbus remains well-positioned for stability.
