Cincinnati Area Weekly Real Estate Market Update

1. Market Activity & Demand

• Pending Ratio: The market is brisk, with a pending to active ratio at 92%. This means nearly every active listing is matched by a pending sale, indicating strong buyer demand and limited inventory.
• Months' Supply: Inventory remains tight at just 2 months, signaling a continued seller’s market. Homes are moving quickly, and there’s little sign of inventory relief.

2. Pricing Trends

• Average List Price (Active): $442,480
• Average List Price (Pending): $408,733
• Average Sold Price: $369,037
• List-to-Sale Price: Sellers are achieving 98.7% of their final list price on average, reflecting minimal negotiation room for buyers.

3. Speed of the Market

• Average Days on Market (Active): 38 days
• Average Days on Market (Sold): 33 days
• Homes continue to sell rapidly, particularly in the mid-range price segments.

4. Segment Highlights

• $200k–$500k Segment: This segment is especially hot, with a pending ratio over 100% and just 1.7 months of supply. Sellers here see the strongest competition among buyers.
• Luxury ($500k+): Higher-end homes are moving, but with slightly longer market times (average 83 days active) and more negotiation (98% of list price), suggesting a bit more leverage for buyers at the top end.

5. Advice for Clients

• For Sellers: Now remains an excellent time to list, especially in the $200k–$500k range. Pricing accurately is key—overpricing can still lead to longer days on market, even in a hot market.
• For Buyers: Act quickly and be prepared to offer close to asking price, particularly in the most competitive segments. Flexibility and strong offers are essential for success.
