Powell, Ohio
Real Estate
One of Central Ohio's fastest-moving markets
Powell gives you a real downtown, top-rated schools, and quick access to Dublin, Polaris and Columbus, all in a community that still feels like a hometown. It's one of the most in-demand places to buy in Central Ohio, and the numbers show it.
The Powell market
right now
Half of Powell homes sell in under two weeks, at full list price.
At the current pace, today's listings would sell out in about 2 months. That's a seller's market. Well-priced homes often go in the first weekend, so buyers need to be ready with financing lined up and a clear plan for making a strong offer. Sellers who price and prepare well are in a great position.
These figures cover all residential sales with a Powell mailing address, which reaches beyond the city into parts of Liberty Township. Active listings exclude Coming Soon and contingent homes.

My favorite
Powell
neighborhoods
- 01WedgewoodI love that the golf course is basically the backyard. Wedgewood Golf & Country Club sits at the heart of the neighborhood, so your tee time, dinner with friends and a walk with the dog are all minutes from home.
- 02KinsaleGolf, fitness and a social calendar, all in one place. Kinsale Golf & Fitness Club gives the neighborhood a built-in community, and it's the kind of place where you actually get to know your neighbors.
- 03The RetreatThe name fits. It feels like a getaway at the end of the day, while keeping you close to everything Powell has to offer.
- 04Loch LomondAn established neighborhood with real character, the kind of place people move to and stay.
Every Powell neighborhood moves at its own pace. Ask me what's selling, and for how much, on the streets you're watching.

Life in
Powell
Powell's downtown punches way above its size. Here are a few of my favorites:
80 East Bourbon & Cocktail Club
A members-only club with speakeasy vibes in historic downtown Powell. Not a member yet? Grab a guest pass and check it out.
Local Roots
Farm-to-fork cooking built around local ingredients. It's the kind of place I take people when I want them to fall for Powell.
Novella Osteria
Italian right on West Olentangy Street downtown, and my pick for date night.
Columbus Zoo and Aquarium
A world-class zoo right in Powell's backyard. If you have kids, the membership pays for itself.
Add easy trips to Dublin's Bridge Park and Polaris, and there's always something to do.
