Annually, there were 16,829 sales in 2011 compared to 16,937 in 2010. Second half sales of 2011 were positive, making up for a difficult first half. Last month’s average price was $146,259, compared to a year ago of $160,295. The average price for 2011 was $151,384 compared to $158,560 in 2010.<br /><br />Today, the average interest rate in Cincinnati is 3.91% for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage. Nationally, the average interest rate is 4.18%. Many experts claim that the low interest rates will not last. The Cincinnati area housing market has 8 months of available inventory compared to nearly 10.5 months a year ago. A continued decrease in inventory would result in a greater demand, possibly leading to an increase in the average sale prices of homes. The National Association of Realtors claims that an inventory level of less than 6 months leans toward a “seller’s market,” where the price of homes could rise. <br /><br />TODAY IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY...

The poll of 1,001 randomly selected home owners in August showed that 79 percent had fixed-rate financing, and this type of mortgage was used by almost 90 percent of respondents who make more than $75,000.

What does this means? It means that the perfect buying conditions have arrived! When you consider the savings over the 30 year life of the mortgage, it's incredible what difference 1 percentage point makes. Don't wait for interest rates and prices to rise.
