MLS statistics indicate that the average and median sale prices for single family homes in the Cincinnati neighborhood of Kennedy Heights from 4/18/2011 to 4/18/2012 were $67,987 and $50,000 respectively.

This is a decline of 18.84% from the average and 23.08% from the median sale prices of $83,767 and $65,000 from 4/18/2010 to 4/18/2011.

Inventory / Marketing Time

As of 4/18/2012 there have been 50 sales in the last 12 months, indicating an absorption rate of 4.17 per month over the year.

There are currently 25 active listings, which represents an 6.0 month supply at last years average absorption rate. The trend is judged to be in *balance.

There are 6 pending sales which is a **healthy ratio of 4.2:1 listings to pending sales, indicating that the current market is stronger than the average over the last year.

Investors should give strong consideration to the implications of investing in homes that are above the typical price range of homes in the neighborhood. Such homes are widely considered to be “over-improvements”. One of the investor’s best strategies of “forced appreciation through home improvement” will likely be limited to needed repairs or not profitable. Appreciation from the increase in value of competing homes, which will likely be in other neighborhoods, will often suffer from being in a neighborhood of less valuable homes.

Of course appreciation is not the only measure of a good investment. Fix and flip properties and properties with a strong positive cash flow can be good investments without appreciating. But knowing the neighborhood before buying can help the real estate investor properly evaluate the expectation of future financial benefits.

*A 5 to 6 month inventory is typically considered to be a balanced market. Inventory of greater than a 6 month supply is judged to be an over supply of available homes for sale. Less than 5 months is viewed as a shortage situation.

**A normal ratio of listings to pending sales is typically considered to be between 3:1 and 5:1. Ratios of greater than 5:1 represent increasingly weaker demand, while ratios of less than 3:1 indicate increasingly stronger demand.

***Typical ranges may exclude statistical outliers that would mislead or lessen the reader’s understanding as to the nature of the neighborhood’s housing stock or price range.

            Investors should give strong consideration to the implications of investing in homes that are above the typical price range of homes in the neighborhood. Such homes are widely considered to be “over-improvements”. One of the investor’s best strategies of “forced appreciation through home improvement” will likely be limited to needed repairs or not profitable. Appreciation from the increase in value of competing homes, which will likely be in other neighborhoods, will often suffer from being in a neighborhood of less valuable homes.
