So how do the numbers affect the local real estate market?  

In some neighborhoods, it’s a seller’s market.  We’re seeing homes and condos in “high demand” areas that are priced correctly can expect bidding wars and quick sales. Other areas are not experiencing the same buyer frenzy.

The initial “listing price” is critical.  Safe to say if your home or condo are located in normal neighborhoods and have been for sale for more than a month – the starting price was too high.  Slowly rising interest rates (still at a historic low) will limit buying power for marginal buyers.  The Cincinnati real estate market needs more listings in all areas for prices for appreciation to continue. 

Fears of a housing stall are hitting many parts of the country as buyers are putting house hunting on hold until more properties become available.
