Cincinnati Area Market Snapshot (Last 6 Months)

1. Market Activity & Inventory

  • Active Listings: Inventory remains tight with 2,782 active listings.
  • Pending Sales: 1,447 homes are currently pending, resulting in a strong pending-to-active ratio of 52%—a sign of continued buyer demand.
  • Months of Supply: At just 1.6 months, the market is firmly in seller’s territory. Expect competitive conditions for buyers.

2. Pricing Trends

  • Average List Price (Active): $417,450
  • Average List Price (Pending): $385,752
  • Average Sold Price: $368,182
  • Sale-to-Final List Price Ratio: 98.5% (homes are selling very close to their last asking price, indicating limited room for negotiation).

3. Days on Market

  • Average DOM (Active): 81 days
  • Average DOM (Sold): 27 days
    • Homes that sell are moving quickly, much faster than the overall inventory turnover.

4. Key Takeaways & Advice

  • For Sellers: Well-priced homes are selling fast and close to asking price. If you’re considering listing, now is an excellent time—low inventory means less competition and strong negotiating power.
  • For Buyers: Be prepared for swift decision-making and limited negotiation leverage. Pre-approval and readiness to act are essential.

5. Market Pulse

The high pending ratio and low months of supply continue to define Cincinnati as a robust seller’s market. Price appreciation remains steady, and homes are generally selling within 2-3 weeks when priced right.
