Data from Greater Cincinnati Multiple Listing Service

The snow impacted buyer opportunities to get out and go house hunting. The bad news is the average list and sale prices have declined slightly- the good news is the average price on pending sales has increased….which may help out the bottom line for sellers in 2010. Only 50+ days for buyers to have a purchase contract to qualify for tax credits. If you really want to buy or sell-now is the time.

Greater Cincinnati Housing Sales

March 4th, 2010 categories: Liberty Township, Ohio, Mason, Ohio, Real Estate Sales, Real Estate Stats

Data obtained from Multiple Listing Service of Greater Cincinnati

Mixed signals coming from single family home sales market in greater Cincinnati. Hamilton, Clermont and Warren counties are ahead (slightly) the same time-frame in 2009. Good news the dollar volume has increased. The mix up occurs when sellers react to increase in sales dollars as an increase in sales price. The prices are still depressed and will likely remain steady through 2010.

Remember the current tax credit expires April 30th (Contract must be written/accepted by this date)-so I’ll be keeping an eye on real estate activity.

Home sales are up and/or sales are down.

It’s hard to keep up with all the real estate information tossed around in the media these days.

Well according to everybody-here is a look at the state of real estate-

According to Warren Buffet the market will improve in 2011.
Then there is the money.cnn.com article on Local Real Estate Forecasts
The Cincinnati metropolitan area also missed Forbes Top 20 Most Miserable Cities List

Confused by all the different data-remember real estate is local. In some cases you have to drill the numbers down to a specific neighborhood to understand the Cincinnati housing market.
