So what do the stats indicate about Mason Ohio condo sales?
Key takeaways this month:
- Sales flat compared to March, but still better than most Aprils
- More inventory to select from, but still fairly limited
- Prices shifted down slightly, but there was a LOT of bargain condo shopping, with 6 of the 19 sales below $100k.
- Mason condos are selling faster, but not nearly as fast as Mason single family homes.
Distressed (foreclosures and short sales) are having minimal impact, with none of the 19 sales falling into the distressed property category. Of the 64 Mason condos for sale there are 2 foreclosures and 2 potential short sales. So if bargain hunting is your thing, you may be disappointed with the Mason condo market.
And there is still some room for negotiating, with a few percent difference between condos sold and asking price.
So what does this mean to you as a Mason Ohio condo owner? Not much has changed since last month other than you have slightly more competition than last month. There are quite a few condos in the sub $100k category, but as you head up market the selection thins out. However, as you move towards the $300k range, you're competing head to head with the new construction in Beacon Hill, The Woods on Wilkens and other area new condo communities. And there's new construction ranch condos being planned for Lakeside Cove in Hunter's Green starting at around $290,000.
Prepare your condo for sale, price well and hire a team like us that knows how to market AND sell Mason condos and you can make that move you want to make. For an evaluation of your home's marketability, please contact us.
