All data is derived from the Cincinnati MLS system. If any Mason condos traded hands without a REALTOR® involved, then it won't be reflected in this report. All data is for the Mason School District area, so is not limited solely to Mason city limits.
With Mason being named #7 on the Money Magazine Top 50 Best Small Town Places To Live list for 2013, Mason received recognition that area residents already knew was well deserved! With top notch public schools, extensive entertainment and dining options, and a premier community center combined with superb accessibility to downtown Cincinnati, Mason has become one of the most desired living areas in the region!
Mason offers a full range of price points, with some entry level condos below 100k and luxury/golf course community condos well into the $300k price point. So whether you want an economy condo, or the luxury version, we can help you find the right Mason condo for you!

So what do the stats indicate about Mason Ohio condo sales?
Key takeaways this month:
- It took some months, but inventory is finally on the increase, as are the number of condos under contract. NEXT month should be better for sales volume, but March wasn't much on volume, but if you look at past March quantities in the years past, you can see volume is rather erratic.
- Prices are easily swayed at this low volume, so don't read much into the large swings up or down in price. It's more a mix issue than a huge surge in condo demand driving prices up.
- This bears repeating from past months: there ARE some new construction opportunities not reflected in the 53 condos for sale, but they're going to cost you around $300,000 or more. Lakeside Cove is picking up pace on sales and Beacon Hill is close to final builds. Immediately adjacent to Mason are some other new construction condos if being directly in Mason isn't a concern. Contact us for details Liz@LizSpear.com or 513-520-5305.
-
Distressed condos (foreclosures and short sales) for sale are almost nonexistent this month. One short sale sold, and 2 foreclosures and 1 short sale available for sale.
So what does this mean to you as a Mason Ohio condo owner? No reason to change past advice. Even with another boost in Mason condos for sale, selection is still low and gives the edge to sellers over buyers. We've got a solid track record for selling Mason condos, so we'd love to help you achieve your real estate goal of selling your Mason condo.
Mason condos will remain in demand because they're an affordable entry point into Mason living versus the average Mason single family home selling well into the $300ks. The only niche that is a bit slower are the luxury Mason condos, as that segment is competing against new construction.
For an evaluation of your condo's marketability, please contact us at 513-520-5305.
So what does this mean to you as a potential Mason condo buyer?
No reason to change advice here either. Selection is still limited, so it won't take long to determine if there's a Mason condo that will work for you. However, new construction is still a possibility and not all of them make it into MLS (and they're not cheap either). We can help with those too, even if they're not in Cincinnati MLS. We represent YOU and not the builder, and it costs you nothing extra to hire us to help you!
If you HAVE to have a Mason home, but don't like the pricing premium for a regular single family home, Mason condos make a great alternative (but don't forget to factor in the HOA fees). Use our links below to check availability for your price range.
And if you need an FHA loan to finance, quite a few of the condo communities are NOT eligible for FHA certification. Check with us to verify the condo that interests you can be FHA financed.
