We've entered the last month of the calendar year. All the flowers have finished blooming, we've had some hard frosts and even a little snow. And with all of that comes the typical slow down in the 
Warren County real estate market. There is no surprise to decreases in homes sold and for sale, but that doesn't mean the market is at ALL STOP. 214 homes sold in November and while not June numbers, it's still a LOT of homes changing ownership.

What are the key takeaways?
- Basically the market is performing as expected for this time of year. Fewer houses for sale, fewer sold, a little longer to sell, etc. It's what happens as the weather cools.
- Prices were slightly better than the previous month.
- Time to sell is still fairly short, but increased from under 2 weeks to under 3 weeks for half the homes under contract.
- 20 homes sold in the luxury category ($500,000 or more), almost 10% of the total homes sold. Only one home sold for more than $1,000,000.
-
New construction entered in MLS and sold was 21 homes, and those are just the ones reported in Cincinnati MLS. Made to order homes are often not reported. New construction accounts for 177 of the 706 homes listed in MLS and NOT under contract.
- Distressed (short sales and foreclosures) continued to be minimal this month with 4 foreclosures and 0 short sales in the 214 sold homes. Currently the 706 homes for sale include 6 foreclosed homes and 1 short sale.
