Cincinnati Area Weekly Real Estate Market Update

Market Activity & Demand

• The market is active with a pending ratio of 91%, indicating strong buyer demand and a high rate of homes moving from active to pending status.
• Average days on market (DOM) for active listings is 39, while sold properties averaged 34 days—showing homes are selling quickly.
• Months of supply is low at 1.9, reinforcing that this is a seller’s market with limited inventory.

Pricing Trends

• The average list price for active homes is $433,050, with pending homes slightly lower at $398,362.
• The average sold price over the last 6 months is $357,512, with the average sale-to-final-list-price ratio at 98.2%. This means homes are typically selling very close to their final asking price, and often with minimal negotiation.

Segment Insights

• The $200k–$500k segment is the busiest, making up the bulk of transactions and showing a pending ratio of 97% with just 1.6 months of supply.
• Lower price bands (under $200k) also remain competitive, but inventory is especially tight in the $250k–$350k range.
• Higher-end segments ($500k+) have more inventory (3–3.4 months supply), and longer average DOM (85–109), but still show healthy pending ratios (69–90%).

Advice for Buyers & Sellers

• Sellers: Now is an optimal time to list, especially in the mid-range price points, as homes are selling fast and near asking price.
• Buyers: Be prepared for quick decision-making and competitive offers, particularly in the $200k–$500k range. Flexibility and readiness are key given the low inventory and fast sales pace.
