What's My Springboro Ohio Home Worth? September 2015
Sold by The Liz Spear Team of RE/MAX Elite in Springboro's Stone Ridge The Woods
Fall is here, and that often means the real estate market starts slowing down. And for Springboro September was a mixed bag. Sales volume down, but prices up. The string of 60+ sales in a month finally ended with 51 completed. We expect October's number to be even lower based on the number currently under contract. However, overall the market is STILL very positive for Springboro.

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.

- Pending sales did drop significantly, so the slow down appears to be here.
- ONly 2 homes sold below $100k and 7 over $400k. Only 3 homes fit the luxury definition of over $500,000.
-
Time to sell a home increased slightly.
- Distressed properties continue to be scarce, representing 3 of the 51 sold and only 3 of the 203 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. 97.8% sold to list price is a strong indication you can negotiate a little.
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.
