Shrinking inventory of condos for sale impacts the greater Cincinnati condo market. Buyers get discouraged and sellers assuming sluggish sales are waiting until spring to list. Nobody can predict the future but I’m pretty sure interest rates will go up a little after the elections. Interest rates rising a quarter to half a point could be just enough to knock several potential buyers out of the market.
