This report covers the Springboro Community School district single family homes (so portions of surrounding townships will be included e.g. Clearcreek & Turtlecreek). This report will only cover single family homes and not include condominium data. Data is derived from the Dayton MLS only, so homes sold without Dayton MLS entry will NOT be included in this review.
The Springboro area is popular, especially with residents seeking to commute into Dayton (easy access with I75 and SR741), and even works well for those not minding a bit longer commute south to the Cincinnati area. Springboro is a good choice for couples where one works in Dayton and the other in Cincinnati.
Springboro Community Schools are among the state's best public schools per the Ohio Department of Education ratings. Additionally Springboro was selected #42 in U.S. in 2011 by Money magazine for Best Small Cities To Live and probably would have made the 2013 & 2015 lists, but Money magazine changed the rules to only one town per county and Mason got the nod.
Keep in mind that some homes may only be listed in the Cincinnati MLS and will not be included in this report. We STRONGLY recommend any Springboro resident selling their home hire a REALTOR(R) with access to BOTH Cincinnati and Dayton MLS.
The Springboro area offers a full range of price points, and features an older historic area, developments of older homes, new subdivisions and rural options. There are also golf course communities, luxury home communities, patio home communities .... basically there's something for every home buyer's taste and budget.

So, on to the data!
First up is the number of Springboro single family homes sold on a month by month basis starting in 2010 and carrying forward to present:
Next is the Springboro median price summary chart. 
Springboro Single Family Home Summary:
Homes Sold: 65 (1 Bank/Government Owned, 1 Short Sale) UP 3
Average Price: $258,980 UP $11.5k
Median Price: $235,900 DOWN $7k
Days on Market Average: 80 DOWN 13
Homes Active 9/10/15: 201 DOWN 17
Homes Pending 9/10/15: 50 DOWN 8
Average Sales/List %: 97.6 UP .4%
Most Expensive Home Sold: $615,000
Least Expensive Home Sold: $82,000
So what does this all mean? There are some key takeaways:
- Another great month for sales volume! Just one shy of tieing the high since 2010. Pending sales did drop some, probably enough that September won't keep the 60+ streak intact, but no complaints about that!
- Price changes were a mix, average up a bit, median down a bit, but neither moved enough to indicate any trends in market values. Two sales below $100k, 16 above $300k, but of those 16 only 6 were above $400k. Four homes earned the "luxury" label of selling at $500,000 or more.
-
Time to sell a home dropped again and the very best homes will sell MUCH faster than that 80 day average (median sales time was 66 days, that time is essentially flat month to month).
- Distressed properties continue to be scarce, representing 2 of the 64 sold and only 5 of the 201 for sale. If you insist on buying a foreclosure or short sale, you're going to have VERY little to choose from.
- Don't expect huge discounts from asking price. 97.6% sold to list price is a strong indication you can negotiate a little.
- 201 homes for sale continues to demonstrate low inventory levels.
Bottom line: Springboro CONTINUES to be one of your best choices for buying a home in the Cincinnati/Dayton corridor but act fast for the best of the best homes.
So what does this mean to you as a Springboro single family home owner?
STILL No change to previous month's advice, the edge is still to the sellers IF their home is in good condition and priced appropriately. Combine solid marketing and your home should sell in a reasonable time period. Buyers are out there and Springboro is still high demand, with great market stability and distressed properties having almost no impact. Need a real estate team to help put it all together, just give us a call at 513-520-5305.
If you're a luxury home seller keep in mind you're competing against custom home new construction in communities like Country Brook and Silver Lake. Combine that with fewer buyers able to afford luxury homes and you realize the market slice is MUCH smaller for you.

STILL NO REASON TO CHANGE PAST ADVICE FOR BUYERS:
