Normally we'd expect January to be an "off" month for Lebanon Ohio real estate activity.  We'd expect people to be huddling inside rather than venturing out into the cold buying homes!  But this year?  That wasn't the case, with January 2017 responding with the best total sales for a January since we started tracking in 2010.  Stick with us for the full details!

We offer links at the bottom of the post to search Cincinnati MLS listed Lebanon Ohio homes for sale, and if you want specifics for What Is My Lebanon Ohio Home Worth?, please click that link and fill out the form.  We'll get back to you shortly with the latest info that applies to YOUR home! 

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

  • Named one of Ohio magazine's Top 5 Hometowns for 2012
  • HUGE YMCA
  • Ready access to Cincinnati and Dayton
  • A cool historic downtown area
  • Host to an abundance of festivals throughout the year
  • The cost of living in Lebanon is more affordable than some other Warren County communities
  • A full range of housing price points, from below 100k to some estate homes under a million dollars. 
  • There is still new construction available, but you can pick any age from historic to brand new.

So what are the key takeaways from this month's numbers? 

  • Lebanon is off to a great start!  As we mentioned at the beginning, more total sales for a January than any January since we started tracking in 2010.  Seven of the 32 were new construction, so obviously new homes are in demand.  
  • Of the 94 homes for sale, 27 are new construction.
  • And while the median price may have dropped from December, it was still a very strong number.  
  • With 53 homes under contract, expect February's results to be similar to January's, topping the previous Februarys.
  • Prices for the sold homes tended upwards, with none sold below $100,000 and 10 sold for $300,000 or more. 
  • Time to go under contract dropped significantly, with half the sold homes under contract in 3 weeks or less.
  • Distressed properties were minimal again. Only 1 of the 32 sales was a foreclosure, and of the 94 homes on market NONE are bank owned or short sales.

So what does this mean to you as a Lebanon single family home owner? 

NO CHANGE FROM LAST MONTH:  We're pretty much in a balanced market, although there are some segments of the market in short supply.  Yes it's cold, but homes are still selling.  The one big edge to sellers is the shrinking inventory.  If a buyer MUST buy, then this works to your advantage.  That doesn't mean a home that is in poor condition or not priced right will still sell.  Buyers are still being particular about their home purchases.  

Give us a call and we can meet and determine what is best for your personal circumstances. 

You're not going up against significant new construction in MOST communities, but places like Shaker Run and Trails of Shaker Run new construction do challenge your ability to sell.

And if you're not quite ready to enter the market, it's the PERFECT time to meet with us and get your To Do list ready to have your home optimally ready for when you ARE ready to sell your home!

So what does this mean to you as a potential Lebanon home buyer? 

NO CHANGE HERE EITHER: The market is a bit more balanced, but we still (and will ALWAYS) recommend acting fast if you see a home you love!  Inventory is even lower and while you might look at time on the market and think you have plenty of time, other buyers are out there too and might like the same house you do.  Watch for new homes for sale that fit your needs and ACT quickly.  . 

The selection of foreclosed/short sale homes is minimal, so don't count on finding one to buy, much less one in good condition.

Hi Liz and Bill -- what a comprehensive look at the Lebanon real estate market with lots of details and insights that underscore the value you bring to prospective clients.   It's good to know about the success of new homes and the lack of distressed properties -- both positive signs.
