“The Greater Cincinnati housing marketplace shifted in October, with stabilizing prices, an uptick in the number of homes listed for sale and an overall slowdown in activity,” said Rob Streicher, President of the REALTOR® Alliance of Greater Cincinnati. “The move toward a more balanced marketplace provides good news for consumers, with expanded housing options available, realistic pricing expectations and an understanding that long-term, owning a home is a tremendous investment.”

Year-to-date home sales in 2026 reached 15,688 up from the 15,471 sales recorded during the same period a year ago.
