This property at 1384 Moler Rd sits in South Columbus, a high-demand area for flips, and is listed at just $85K for nearly 1,900 sq ft on a huge lot. The house needs significant renovations—especially mechanical and plumbing—but its low price is well below the area's median listing price of $290K. Comparable homes in the neighborhood have sold for well over $350K, with average price per square foot around $170, making this an attractive entry point for investors willing to take on a fixer-upper.
If you're an investor, this is one of those rare Columbus deals where the numbers make sense: budget for essential repairs first, focus on kitchens and baths, and keep finishes in line with the neighborhood. Homeowners looking to sell 'as-is' should still tackle the most glaring issues to boost curb appeal and buyer confidence—think fresh paint, cleaned-up landscaping, and addressing the hot water/furnace problems. Don't over-improve, but make it clean and livable for maximum return.
