Mason, Ohio
In 1803, Revolutionary war veteran William Mason paid $1,700 at an auction, purchased 640 acres of land that now stands as downtown Mason and the area has been growing ever since.
Today the city of Mason is the fastest growing city in Warren County.
A wide variety of residential neighborhoods stretch across Mason offering everything from custom built homes on golf courses to cozy condominium complexes offering all the amenities. Situated close to the I-71 interstate, provides easy access to shopping, airports and hospitals. Downtown Cincinnati is about a 30 minute drive while a trip to Columbus will take about an hour.
The city has 11 commerce parks and nearly 1,100 acres of undeveloped land. Three of Mason’s largest employers are Procter and Gamble Health Research Center, Cintas and Luxottica Retail.
A jewel in the heart of the city- the Mason Community Center, the second largest community center in Ohio opened in 2003. The complex is a gathering place for families and neighbors.
It is easy to play in Mason at Kings Island Amusement Park, The Beach Water Park or by playing golf at one of the numerous golf courses.

Mason real estate sales softened in August.
Both the single family home and condominium markets reflected lower numbers for Mason in August…but don’t despair. The area has been “hot” for quite awhile and average closed price for single family homes has gone up (just slightly).
Since the amount of homes and condos on the markets remains about the same- sellers need to “price it right” on order to attract buyers.
Days on market have increased slightly-indicating hesitation on the part of buyers to put “pen to paper” and write an offer.

Property in the Mason School District continues to sell!
The average list and pending price for single family homes rose slightly, while the average list and pending price for condos declined.
In Mason Ohio during the last 6 weeks approximately 144 single family homes were sold/closed. An estimated 28 condos sold/closed within the same time frame.
In today’s different market many mortgage companies are requiring more money down- and pending sales may fall apart because the buyer doesn’t have additional funds.
The number of real estate closings in Mason reflects strong buyers.
Still unsure about the real estate market- call 513-300-4090 or email for easy to understand information on market trends.

The World isn’t Flat in Real Estate
June 22nd, 2008 Categories: Cincinnati, Ohio, Fairfield, Ohio, Mason, Ohio, Real Estate News, West Chester, Ohio
With all due respect Mr. Friedman, the real estate world is not flat!
In his well written and often quoted book, “The World is Flat” author Thomas Friedman argues the fact that events and businesses are impacted not just by events in the United States -but by circumstances all over the world. And, most of the time, I agree with his premise.
However, when it comes to Cincinnati, West Chester, Fairfield, Mson and other local residential real estate, the world is not flat, allowing local markets to be just that -local markets.
Look at the State of Ohio. The statewide unemployment rate for April was 5.5% but the rate for Cincinnati was 4.6%. Do you think the greater Cincinnati area might be better off than other parts of the state?
Media coverage of the housing market is ”big” picture coverage. The woes of Las Vegas, Phoenix and California market show entire neighborhoods engulfed in foreclosures. Drive around our area and you will find problem properties, maybe even a street with a few foreclosed or abandoned houses -but whole subdivisions under foreclosure- not in our market. 
The Chicken Little’s of the press don’t sell papers or magazines unless the sky is falling and they have attached many of the country’s woes to our marketplace.
Are we in a different real market today- you bet we are!
Is pricing more critical than 3 years ago -yes. Can buyers go in and offer 50% of the list price and get a deal- doubtful. Is your home’s value higher or lower? The answer to that depends on a myriad of variables - and I will be glad to discuss and help and make an informed decision. Call 513-300-4090 or email your questions.
