Ohio Home Buyers Beware: The 2026 Market Trap Nobody's Talking About

Описание: The Ohio housing market in 2026 has a new trap for buyers. Inventory is up and days on market are rising, but if you look at the wrong numbers, you will still overpay.

Everyone is telling you the market is "softening," but that’s only half the story. In this video, I break down the specific trap forming in the Ohio market right now: the widening gap between "stale" listings and the "hot pockets" where bidding wars are still happening.
If you are buying a home in Ohio this year, you cannot shop like it’s 2011. I’m sharing the exact data points you need to watch, the 4 biggest mistakes buyers are making right now, and my 5-step Playbook to get a house without overpaying.
In this video, I cover:

Why statewide "averages" are lying to you.
The difference between "Days on Market" and actual leverage.
How to calculate your REAL affordability (beyond the mortgage payment).
The 2026 Buyer Playbook: Strategies to win on terms, not just price.
