Mason, Ohio

Mason, Ohio City BuildingIn 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.

Data from Greater Cincinnati Multiple Listing Service

Sellers of single family homes do not appear to be reading the market well- listing prices are up and sold/closed prices were down in June.  However pending sale prices have jumped- so perhaps a trend is beginning…either way keep an eye on absorption rates and prices.  The condo market prices remain consistent with the previous month.

Don’t be a real estate slacker-stay current on market conditions.

Sellers Continue to Reduce Prices on Real Estate

Trulia released a report this week showing at least 24% of the real estate listings on the market had at least one price reduction.  The number reflects a 9% increase from the previous month.  The report tracks the top 50 cities with price reductions- good news Cincinnati did not make the list….which could also be bad news if housing stock is just sitting on the market going nowhere.

The trend reinforces that buyers are back to normal and with the expiration of the home buying tax credit- sellers really need to be proactive when pricing their properties in the metro Cincinnati area.

If your property is for sale and you haven’t reduced the asking price in the last 30-45 days- think about it.  Make sure you are looking at current market data and not relying on what you “think” you home is worth as a pricing strategy.
