Can You Find Me a Ranch?
3 things You Need To Know If You’re Looking for Single-Story Living in Central Ohio
One of the questions we hear more than almost any other is:
“Can you find me a ranch?”
The answer is absolutely yes.
Single-story living remains one of the most requested home features in Central Ohio. Whether you’re prioritizing comfort, planning ahead, or simply love the ease of everything on one level, ranch-style homes offer a flexible lifestyle that fits many stages of life.
Here are three things you should know if a ranch is on your wish list:
1. Ranch homes are available — and in high demand
So far in 2025, ranch homes represent a major share (about 1/3) of single-family sales across Central Ohio. They sell in about the same amount of time as two-story homes, yet they consistently command a higher price per square foot.
That tells us something important: buyers are ready to pay for one-level living.

2. Some of the most desirable neighborhoods have limited supply
Areas like Dublin, Upper Arlington, Worthington, Powell, and Clintonville offer a mix of ranch and traditional two-story homes. In each of them, there are fewer ranches available — and many buyers looking for them.
That means early access and a smart strategy help you stay ahead of the competition.
3. New-build ranches are an option, too
Several local builders now offer:
• Communities designed exclusively with single-story homes
• Floorplan options within mixed neighborhoods
We keep a close eye on these developments and can help you compare:
• Value
• Location
• Timing
• Lot opportunities
Sometimes the perfect ranch…just hasn’t been built yet.
