Pickaway County

Located south of Columbus along the Scioto River corridor, Pickaway County draws buyers seeking a rural setting with reasonable access to a major metro. With a population of 59,407 and a median household income of $72,927, the county supports a stable ownership culture, reflected in an owner-occupied rate of 72.1%. Current inventory is extremely tight, with essentially no active listings on the market, meaning serious buyers face significant competition and little room to be selective. Pricing sits in a range that leans toward the upper end for this part of central Ohio, suggesting the market rewards sellers while testing affordability for first-time buyers relative to local incomes. The county's largely agricultural character keeps density low, and most homes offer generous lot sizes. Buyers relocating from Columbus often find the trade-off between commute time and space appealing, which has contributed to sustained demand even as available supply has remained minimal.
