Overall, it was a very strong December for Springboro Ohio real estate sales. 45 homes changed hands and prices continue to be strong, with 11 homes selling above $400,000. The cold winter months usually put a bit of a damper on the market, and there are fewer homes on the market, especially once you remove the new construction segment.

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.

So what does this all mean? There are some key takeaways:
- Overall, a fairly typical December. Check past Decembers and you'll see 45 sales is typical for the last few years. On the other hand, prices continue to remain up compared to past years. Springboro homes are in demand and should stay in demand.
- With 20 homes in Active/Pending status and another 25 in Pending, expect completed sales to drop from this month's 45.
- Luxury homes sales (above $500,000) were still on the low side at 4, and 11 of the 45 sales were above $400k.
- New construction accounts for 32 of the 111 homes not under contract, still a sizable percentage.
-
Time to sell a home continues increased, an normal response during the cold months..
- Distressed properties continue to be scarce, representing none of the 45 sold and only 5 of the 111 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. 97.9% sold to list price for September demonstrates some give, but don't expect really low offers to make much headway with sellers.
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?
NO REASON TO CHANGE PAST ADVICE: The edge is still to the sellers IF the home is in good condition and priced appropriately. Combine solid marketing and your home should sell in a reasonable time period, but most likely longer than recent months. 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.
