Who is calling Columbus “Cow Town? It’s in an email (e-notes I guess it is a weekly e-newsletter) from the Columbus Board of Realtors.
“Zillow.com, a real estate market research firm, noted that metro Columbus was among 26 areas in the US that are seeing signs of market stabilization in the short-term. Median home value saw a year-over-year increase of 2 percent and is now at $144,400 in Cow Town”
The Columbus Board of Realtors e-notes had a link to an article from Columbus Business First Zillow: Home values move toward stability in 3Q
Does the Columbus Business First refer to Columbus as “Cow Town.” The Columbus Business First article says:
“Zillow.com said that homes in the Columbus area were valued at a median $144,400 at the end of the third quarter, up 2 percent from last year and the second quarter. Central Ohio is one of 26 metropolitan areas out of 156 nationwide that saw a year-over-year gain in median home value.”
Turns out the Columbus Board of Realtors is calling Columbus Cow Town, I am sure in a most affectionate way.
It’s a good thing. Cows are nice.

Columbus – doesn’t “have a clue”
The National Association of Realtors announced a valuation system, RPR late last week. RPR (I’ve heard it call Reaper) will be valuation of property kinda like Zillow’s Zestimates, only different. I am not sure how different. Some have said “accurate.” Others say RPR will be just as inaccurate as Zestimates. Only time will tell.

I'm Becky! I wrote CBR's e-Notes and I can assure you that I use the term "Cow Town" with nothing but fondness. I moved to Columbus a few weeks ago and absolutely love this town.
Thanks Becky, I love the term "Cow Town" if it is said lovingly.
