It’s Time to Throw Out the Old Bath Water

Out with the old and in with the new!

Everybody is anxious to throw out the old bath water from 2011- but let’s be careful about tossing the good things along with the dirty water.  The year has ended and this is the last look comparing condo sales volume in greater Cincinnati.  2010 and 2011 were so-so years for condo sales in the 4 county area – with Butler county shining as the sole winner with gross sales volume increase.  On a high note, while overall volume is down…it’s not crashing into the ground sending up flames….something which it happening in many condo markets throughout the country.

The chart below is based on data pulled from the Multiple Listing Service of Greater  Cincinnati:

Click here for 2009 vs 2010 year end.

The average sale price for 2011 was also impacted by the uncertain economy with ups and downs in the stock market and the still unknown long term impact of the foreclosures- and unfortunately 2012 appears to have many of the same issues.

  2010   2011  
  # Units Avg Sales Price # Units Avg Sales Price
Butler 277 $90,860 347 $82,286
Clermont 199 $115,028 177 $106,010
Hamilton 953 $159,293 899 $144,079
Warren 327 $150,346 287 $135,652

So it’s ok to drain the tub and start the new year with fresh bath water and a new angle on how we look at  the local real estate market.  But some basics remain the same each and every year.  If you want to sell your property it has to be priced right.  And if you need help figuring out the “right price”- call me for assistance.

What’s Happening with Real Estate in Cincinnati?

Time to take a look at active listings (single family homes) in 6 key zip codes.

All the areas listed below have seen a significant reduction in the number of homes for sale- but homes for sale still outnumber buyers- making it a “buyer’s market”.  A balanced market is one with about a 6 month supply of inventory and according to the Multiple Listing Service of Greater Cincinnati - we currently have a 9-9.5 month supply of homes and condos.  But the supply is shrinking so we may eventually reach a more balanced real estate market sometime next year.

Below is information needed to track some our area key zip codes. If you need information for your specific zip code-send email.

Need specific details for your area- just let me know and if you’re looking at Cincinnati homes for sale and would like to see a home or condo in any price range- call for more information.

Monday Morning Real Estate News for Greater Cincinnati

Hot topic in the greater Cincinnati real estate market- sales up…prices down.

Open house blast this past weekend with lots of buyers roaming in and out of properties for sale.

A little positive press on the news about buying now because local real estate is so affordable.

Another way to follow key zip codes and check median list price, number of listings (competition) and days on market. Below is information needed to track some our area key zip codes. If you need information for your specific zip code-send email.






In a couple areas prices are ticking up- slightly.  West Chester and Fairfield are flat and Mason has not hit bottom yet.  Just something to keep in mind if you’re thinking about purring your property on the market.
