So what do the stats indicate about Mason Ohio condo sales?
Overall, the Mason condo market is a bit mixed. There was quite a bit of bargain shopping last month with 5 of the 17 condos sold under $100k, and the one condo sold for $30,800 was an auction of a condo worth about twice that but with the baggage of a tenant that might need evicted! So definitely a special circumstance, but nonetheless it does still count in the market stats! On the other hand, the $316k sale helped pull the average up, so put those circumstances together you get the average moving up and median down!
The time on market increased a bit, but condos under contract increased slightly and considering the "usual" dip in sales for the winter monthes, that 25 bodes VERY well for the next month. As you can see, there's some negotiating room between list price and final sales price.
So what does this mean to you as a Mason Ohio condo owner? Overall the Mason condo market is stable in it's own way. With the wide variation in pricing and relatively low volume, the data can shift rather easily just based on the balance of whether the lower end or higher end condos sold more in a given month.
Traditionally the upcoming months will be slower, but only the future will tell the full story. Mason condos DO sell throughout the year, so if you have the patience to work the winter months, your sale CAN still happen.
