In this article, we are going to explore a little more about living in Cincinnati, namely the real estate market, and offer up some helpful links for those who might be thinking or planning a move to the area.

The Cincinnati Real Estate Market

The median home price fluctuates some, depending on what resource you use. For example, Zillow says the median price is $124,000 while Trulia estimates that number to be closer to $149,000. The discrepancies tend to do with how quickly these entities retrieve information, but the median price currently is between $120,000 – $180,000 in price-point. The market is looking pretty consistent with some first quarter signs that real estate is up about 3% than from the same time last year.

The most desirable neighborhoods in Cincinnati include Forestville, Hyde Park, Mariemont, and Oakley. The best value neighborhoods you can check out are Clifton, Fruit Hill, Kennedy Heights, and Withamsville which are well-suited for first-time homebuyers.
