All 4 counties sales volume and average sale price is higher than last year. The continuing decline in the number of homes for sale is causing problems for everybody-buyers, sellers, lenders, appraisers and agents.
The $200,000 to $400,000 price range is the “sweet spot” in many neighborhoods. Homes in great condition hitting the market that range are selling quickly. The “sweet spot” varies by area and even neighborhoods so buyers and sellers need to be aware of what’s happening in their own backyards. There are 3052 homes priced under $200,000 scattered all around greater Cincinnati. Many are located in areas where buyers are literally circling waiting for a property to go on the market- which makes you wonder why more potential sellers aren’t cashing in while the market is hot.
And while the current real estate market favors sellers- many listing are sitting unsold as a result of overpricing. It’s a win/win market for sellers who priced their properties to sell quickly. In short-price it right!
