North & East Side Cincinnati School District Market Update: September 2024 vs. November 2024

With several buyers actively looking for homes in these school districts, I thought it’d be helpful to compare what’s happening in these markets now to what we were seeing back in September 2024. Here’s the breakdown:

East Side Cincinnati School District Market Updates

Forest Hills School District

• Number Sold: 46 SFH

• Median Days on Market: 3 (unchanged)

• Sale-to-List Price Ratio: 93.21% (down from 95.38%)

• Active Listings: 52 (ranging from $170,000 to $1,355,000)
  

Takeaway: The median price in Forest Hills has jumped (a whopping 18.8%), but the sale-to-list price ratio has dipped slightly. If you’re selling here and pricing your home competitively, it’s likely to go pending fast with the median days on market holding steady at just 3.

• Median Price: $428,000 (down from $445,000 in September)

• Median Days on Market: 3 (down from 5)

• Sale-to-List Price Ratio: 98.50% (up from 97.32%)

• Active Listings: 33 (ranging from $120,000 to $1,995,000)
  

Takeaway: The median price in Kings has decreased slightly (3.8%), but homes are selling faster with fewer days on market. Plus, the sale-to-list price ratio has ticked up, meaning well-priced homes are selling quickly and close to (or above) list price.

Lebanon School District

• Active Listings: 54 (ranging from $249,000 to $1,650,000)
  

Takeaway: Lebanon’s median price point increased slightly (about 1.4%), and the sale-to-list price ratio saw a healthy bump. With median days on market increasing, buyers in Lebanon might have a bit more time to consider their offers. Little Miami School District

• Number Sold: 3 SFH

• Median Price: $322,250

• Median Days on Market: 13

• Sale-to-List Price Ratio: 101.03%

• Active Listings: 65 (ranging from $205,900 to $3,790,000)
  

Takeaway: I forgot to include Little Miami in my September analysis—my bad! But here’s the current data, and I’ll be sure to keep it included moving forward. Homes in this district are selling above list price on average, and while the number of sold properties is low, the inventory provides a wide range of options.

Loveland School District

• Active Listings: 23 (ranging from $199,000 to $1,495,000)
  

Takeaway: This was a shocker! Loveland’s median price dropped by 31.8%, but homes are still selling above list price and going pending in just 2 days. For buyers, this could be the perfect time to snag a home in Loveland while prices are relatively lower.
