Homes in Grove City cover most price points
The median price for a single-family home in Grove City is in the high $300,000s – lower than in Hilliard and Pickerington, but higher than Groveport and Galloway. Styles are pretty varied, and Re/Max associate Todd Strayer says growth hasn’t priced most potential homeowners out of the area. “Pricing is still in check,” he says. “It hasn’t been blowing up as much as some of the northern areas.” Depending on the condition, midcentury split-levels and ranch-style homes sell for between the mid-$100,000s and the low $500,000s. Early 20th-century historic homes run between the mid-$200,000s for fixer-uppers and the high $600,000s for fully renovated models. New Traditional homes range from the high $100,000s to the low $400,000s, while the latest custom 21st-century dwellings sell between the mid-$600,000s and $1.2 million.
