What does all of this mean for buyers and sellers? Let’s break it down.

What February 2025 Means for Cincinnati Homebuyers

If you're a buyer, take a deep breath—there’s good news! Active inventory is up 41.4% compared to last year, meaning more choices for you. Instead of picking from the last lonely house on the market, you've got more options—like walking into a bakery where the shelves are actually stocked!

However, don’t let the increased inventory fool you into thinking you have all the time in the world. Homes are still selling fast, with a median of just 7 days on the market (up 40%). That’s just enough time to think things over—but not too long, or someone else will snatch up your dream home faster than the last piece of cake at a party.

The median sold price increased to $299,900 (up 7.1%), proving that Cincinnati home values are still climbing. But with more homes available, buyers might have a little more negotiating power than last year. Just don’t expect sellers to throw in a free puppy with your purchase (we can dream, right?).

What February 2025 Means for Cincinnati Home Sellers

Sellers, let’s talk. While inventory has increased, you’re still in a strong position. Total sold volume rose 3.0%, meaning buyers are still making moves and spending big.

New listings were up 6.6%, which means you’ve got a bit more competition. Your home needs to stand out! A little staging, some fresh curb appeal, and a properly set price will help you attract buyers quickly.

And while the median days on market rose to 7 days (up 40%), let’s put that into perspective: homes are still selling in a week or less. In real estate, that’s still considered fast!
