Late last year, a Klimt sold for the highest price ever paid for modern art at auction.

An outlier sure, but it wasn't a fluke. U.S. auction sales grew 23.1% in 2025. The $1-5mm segment even grew 40.8% YoY.

Meanwhile, Apollo’s chief economist Torsten Slok said to expect ‘zero in return in the S&P 500 over the coming decade.’

So, that's where it gets interesting.

Each environment is unique, but after dot-com, post war and contemporary art grew about 24% annually for a decade. After 2008, about 11% for 12 years.

It’s also had near-zero correlation with the S&P 500 since ‘95.*

Now, Masterworks lets you invest in shares of artworks featuring legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso.

Seventy-two of the world's best golfers. Seventeen countries. More than 3,200 volunteers — most of them our neighbors. A broadcast going out to 400 million households across 200 countries in 27 languages. Around $35 million flowing into Dublin's restaurants, hotels, and businesses in a single week.

You can see the tents from Muirfield Drive. You can hear the crowd from nearby neighborhoods. But those numbers have a way of putting it in perspective — this isn't just a golf tournament that happens to be here. It's one of the most watched sporting events in the world, and it's been ours since 1976.

Remember Amogh, the sixth grader at Grizzell who asked Dublin to dig out their old batteries? You delivered. He collected 1,506 batteries — clearing his goal of 1,500 with room to spare.

AA batteries made up 69% of the haul. All told, the drive recovered over 55 pounds of materials — steel, zinc, nickel, and lithium — that would have otherwise ended up in a landfill and are now headed for recycling into new products.

A sixth grader noticed a problem, built a solution, and got our community to show up. Not bad for a school project.

The national housing market is in a strange place. The median home sale price across the U.S. hit $436,523 in March — up just 1.2% from a year ago. Homes are sitting on the market 55 days on average. For most of the country, the frenzy of recent years has clearly cooled.

Dublin is a different story — mostly. The median sale price here is $636,250, about 46% above the national median and more than double Ohio's statewide median of $262,900. Homes are still receiving four offers on average and going under contract in about eight days. By almost any measure, it's still a competitive market.

But Dublin's price growth has moderated — up just 2.6% over the past year, well below Ohio's 5.1% statewide gain. Local realtors point partly to Jerome Village, where new construction is actively coming online starting around $472,000. It's a meaningful price gap, though anyone who's driven out there knows it comes with a commute.

"And Jerome Village was already feeling it last year — existing home prices were down nearly 10% year over year, with homes sitting 82 days on the market. That kind of supply pressure simply doesn't exist inside Dublin proper.

Dublin remains one of the strongest housing markets in Ohio. But the competitive dynamics around it are shifting, and the numbers are starting to show it.
