As we enter the 2nd half of 2007, the real estate market in the Greater Cincinnati Ohio and Northern Kentucky areas has remained quite stagnant. This is a true buyers market, meaning there are way too many homes for sale and not enough buyers. This is a great time for buyers, as many people who bought homes in the last few years, can't afford their mortgages and need to sell or get foreclosed on. Except for a few exceptions, buyers can negotiate thousands, sometime tens of thousands off most sellers asking price. It is unfortunate for most sellers, but for buyers, this is a great opportunity to take advantage of this market.
There is also a glut of condominiums in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, that also helps new buyers. I recently represented a buyer for a new condo in Bellevue Kentucky that is brand new, never been lived in. The developer was asking $434,500 and after some negotiating, my client was able to buy that condo for $ 367,500. Quite a difference from the asking price. This market is fantastic for buyers. If you are thinking about buying a home in the Cincinnati Ohio or Northern Kentucky area, please give me a call anytime @ 513-315-9295.
