All data is derived from the Cincinnati MLS system. If any Mason condos traded hands without a REALTOR® involved, then it won't be reflected in this report. All data is for the Mason School District area, so is not limited solely to Mason city limits.

With Mason being named #7 on the Money Magazine Top 50 Best Small Town Places To Live list for 2013, Mason received recognition that area residents already knew was well deserved! With top notch public schools, extensive entertainment and dining options, and a premier community center combined with superb accessibility to downtown Cincinnati, Mason has become one of the most desired living areas in the region!

Mason offers a full range of price points, with some entry level condos below 100k and luxury/golf course community condos well into the $300k price point. So whether you want an economy condo, or the luxury version, we can help you find the right Mason condo for you!

In general, you can expect to pay a premium for Mason condos when compared to communities further away from Cincinnati, although there is diminished opportunity for condos as you head away from Cincinnati.

So, on to the data!

*There are some two communities offering new construction condos and not all are listed in Cincinnati MLS so they're NOT included in the stats above and will also not show in the search links below. If you're interested in new construction ranch condos at approximately $270-400,000 in price or patio homes in the $350-450,000 range, contact us at 513-520-5305 and we'll provide details.

So what do the stats indicate about Mason Ohio condo sales?

Key takeaways this month:

Sales and number of condos under contract both increased. Only four months since January 2010 have had a higher total for condos sold in a month. And 39 under contract means another good month in June.
Sales prices dropped, but that's more a reflection of mix than of actual condo value demand dropping. With only 24 homes sold and almost $300k between the cheapest and most expensive condo sold in May, it's fairly easy to shift price values month to month.
This bears repeating from past months: there ARE some new construction opportunities not reflected in the 62 condos for sale, but they're going to cost you around $300,000 or more. Lakeside Cove is picking up pace on sales and Beacon Hill is close to final builds. Fox Hollow is adding patio homes, but they're going to cost you. Immediately adjacent to Mason are some other new construction condos if being directly in Mason isn't a concern. Contact us for details Liz@LizSpear.com or 513-520-5305. Patio homes and condos are a specialty of ours.
Distressed condos (foreclosures and short sales) for sale continue to be almost nonexistent. One foreclosure sold last month and no foreclosures and 2 short sales are currently not under contract and for sale.

So what does this mean to you as a Mason Ohio condo owner? The same as last month, it doesn't get any better than now to sell your Mason condo. Your target market is in town and not down south. Inventory is low. Demand is still strong, especially if your condo is updated. Some communities take longer than others to sell as price point and HOA fees/amenities, age of the unit, etc. can have significant influence on demand. We've got a solid track record for selling Mason condos, so we'd love to help you achieve your real estate goal of selling your Mason condo.

Mason condos will remain in demand because they're an affordable entry point into Mason living versus the average Mason single family home selling well into the $300ks. The only niche that is a bit slower are the luxury Mason condos, as that segment is competing against new construction.

For an evaluation of your condo's marketability, please contact us at 513-520-5305.

So what does this mean to you as a potential Mason condo buyer?

We're not changing last month's advice because the conditions affecting your purchase haven't shifted since last month. Selection is still limited, so it won't take long to determine if there's a Mason condo that will work for you. However, new construction is still a possibility and not all of them make it into MLS (and they're not cheap either). We can help with those too, even if they're not in Cincinnati MLS. We represent YOU and not the builder, and it costs you nothing extra to hire us to help you!

If you HAVE to have a Mason home, but don't like the pricing premium for a regular single family home, Mason condos make a great alternative (but don't forget to factor in the HOA fees). Use our links below to check availability for your price range.

And if you need an FHA loan to finance, quite a few of the condo communities are NOT eligible for FHA certification. Check with us to verify the condo that interests you can be FHA financed. The same applies for VA financing.
