August saw an interesting twist in the Cincinnati real estate market. There was a significant drop in total sales from August 2025, but the average price was well up over last year. New listings saw a small drop which appeared to cause pending listings to rise. This is a typical late summer slow-down as kids start school and last minute vacations took precedent. As we have started September, there has been a large number of price reductions across all areas of the MLS, showing signs of a shifting market. While rates have risen, sellers are much more motivated and want to move their homes which offers opportunity. There is no time like the present!!
