What are the key takeaways?

At first glance you might be a bit nervous about the market, but don’t let the numbers frighten you. The homes Pending number is increasing, and that’s a leading indicator of the coming busy season.
Buyers were busy bargain shopping this month. Still not nearly enough homes on the market to meet buyer needs.
Prices dropped, primarily due to the number of luxury homes of only 5 of the 141 homes sold for more than $500,000. And only 3 additional sold for more than $400k. So this month was heavy to the cheaper end of the price spectrum.
New construction entered in MLS and sold was 10 homes, and those are just the ones reported in Cincinnati MLS. New construction accounts for 176 of the 563 homes listed in MLS and NOT under contract.
Distressed (short sales and foreclosures) continued to be insignificant this month with 2 foreclosures and no short sales in the 141 sold homes. Currently the 563 homes for sale include 7 foreclosed homes and 4 short sales.
