Selling your home in Columbia: what the numbers say
If you are selling your home in Columbia, the part of town matters as much as the house. Over the twelve months ending October 8, 2026, Consolidated MLS shows 853 closed sales in Northeast Columbia (29229), 462 in Southeast Columbia (29209), and 264 in the Forest Acres and Trenholm Road area (29206). Half the Forest Acres and Trenholm homes went under contract within 18 days on market, against 27 days in Southeast and 28 in Northeast, and sellers in all three got roughly 98% to 99% of their list price.
What that tells a seller: well-priced homes here move in weeks, not months, and the first few weeks decide most sales. A Northeast Columbia home is competing with a lot of similar two-story homes at once, so presentation and price position carry more weight. A Forest Acres home has fewer competitors and more buyers waiting.

Why Columbia sellers choose Taylored Realty Team
Taylored Realty Team is Terry and Yolanda Taylor, REALTORS® whose office sits on Garners Ferry Road in Southeast Columbia. Columbia is where we do most of our business, and a lot of our listings come from neighbors who watched us sell a home on their street.
Every Columbia listing gets the same launch, whatever the price: professional photos, a walkthrough video, a website for that home alone, and paid Facebook and Instagram ads shown to people around Columbia. The brick ranch off Garners Ferry gets the same treatment as the two-story in Lake Carolina. One of our sellers in Northeast Columbia put it this way: "We loved working with Terry and Yolanda as we sold our home in the Northeast Columbia area!"
Our Columbia selling process, week by week
Before launch. We pull comps from your part of Columbia and bring three prices, each with a net sheet. We order a pre-listing inspection. Older homes in Southeast Columbia and Forest Acres get a close look at the roof, crawlspace, and drainage, because that is where buyers' inspectors look first. Photos, video, and the listing website get done in the same window.
Launch week. Everything goes live on the same day: the MLS listing, the website, and the ads. Showings start.
Every week after. We call you with the numbers: how many people saw it, how many showings, what buyers said.
Every month until it sells. Fresh Columbia comps and a conversation about where the price stands. The full method is on how we sell your home.
What sells in each part of Columbia
Southeast Columbia (Meadowfield, Hampton Leas, Yorkshire, Brandon Acres) draws buyers who want to be close to Fort Jackson, the Dorn VA Medical Center, and Garners Ferry Road, and buyers willing to update an older home to get more for the money. Condition and price decide these sales.
Northeast Columbia (Lake Carolina, The Summit, the neighborhoods off Clemson Road and Hardscrabble) draws buyers who want space, community amenities, and move-in-ready homes. HOA rules and dues come up in nearly every sale.
Forest Acres and Trenholm Road (Forest Lake, Druid Hills) draws buyers paying for location and character. Renovation history and the condition of older systems matter most here.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to sell a home in Columbia, SC?
In the twelve months ending October 2026, half the homes that sold in ZIP codes 29209 and 29229 were on the market about four weeks or less, and in 29206 it was 18 days, according to Consolidated MLS. Price and condition decide where yours lands.
Do I need to update my older Columbia home before selling?
Not always. A pre-listing inspection shows what buyers will flag, and then we decide together what to fix, what to disclose, and what to price in.
