The bulk of Columbus homes were built between the 70s and early 2000s, per the latest census data.
Why it matters: Existing homes aren't getting any younger and sellers are still feeling the rate-lock effect. This opens the window for a remodeling wave, according to the National Association of Home Builders.
Yes, but: Buyers are keen on new builds, given existing supply constraints and (sometimes) better deals to be found.
What we're watching: Energy efficiency, kitchen and bath upgrades, and maximizing utility are among the top renovation trends.
