Active homes are on the market. Pending homes are already under contract with a buyer, so they are not available to buy — they are counted here because they show how much of the area's inventory has already been spoken for. - 41

Typical asking price
Line every sale up from the lowest price to the highest. The typical figure is the one in the middle — half the sales are above it, half below. It is not an average: one unusually high or low sale moves an average, but it cannot move the middle. That is why the middle is the figure shown. - $435,000

-
Sold for % of asking price
Each sale's price compared with that home's final asking price, then the middle result. Above 100% means the typical home sold for more than it was last asking; below 100% means less. Seller-paid closing costs are not recorded in this data, so a sale that included them netted the seller less than this figure shows. - 100.0%
- typical sale against its final asking price
-
Typical price per square foot
Each sale's price divided by the living area the MLS records for that home, then the middle result. Living area is not recorded for every sale, and seller-paid closing costs are not recorded at all, so this is a rough way to compare homes of different sizes rather than a valuation of any one of them. - $206

Covers homes with Lebanon addresses: houses, condos and townhomes (land, commercial, multi-family investment and rental listings excluded). "Typical" is the middle value (the median): half the homes are above it and half below. We show it rather than an average because a few unusually high or low sales can pull an average away from the middle; where an average is shown, it is the average of the same sales. A typical value is reported only when at least 5 listings or sales are in the window. "Sold for % of asking price" compares each sale price with that home's final asking price, and price per square foot uses the living area the MLS records — seller-paid closing costs are not recorded in this data, so both figures overstate what a seller actually netted on any sale that included them. "A year ago" is the same 90-day window one year earlier. We show it only where the two windows differ by more than the normal variation between two groups of sales that size — so a figure with no year-ago number beside it means last year's was too close to this year's to tell apart, or last year's window had too few sales to compare — not that it is missing.

Lebanon, in plain English.
Lebanon is the county seat of Warren County, anchored by a historic downtown that mixes antique shops, restaurants, and long-running businesses with civic facilities including the county courthouse and county offices. The city's history runs deep: the Golden Lamb, on South Broadway, has operated since 1803 and bills itself as Ohio's oldest hotel and longest continuously operating business.
Lebanon sits between Cincinnati to the south and Dayton to the north, roughly 30 miles from each, with I-71 bordering the city to the south and I-75 a short drive to the west. That position makes travel in either direction workable.
Real estate and homes in Lebanon.
Lebanon's housing stock is a mix: older historic homes in and around downtown, mid-century neighborhoods throughout, and newer subdivisions toward the edges of the city. Townhomes and condos appear in select pockets. For current prices and what is actively available, the live home search reflects the latest listings.
The historic core carries limited inventory, and well-presented homes there tend to draw interest when they come to market. Because conditions shift through the year, we point buyers and sellers to the live search for up-to-date figures rather than a fixed snapshot.

Buying in Lebanon, answered.
How far is Lebanon from Cincinnati and Dayton?
Lebanon sits between Cincinnati to the south and Dayton to the north, roughly 30 miles from each. I-71 runs just south and east of the city and I-75 is a short drive to the west, so travel in either direction is workable. As the Warren County seat, it is also home to the county courthouse and county offices.
Who provides utilities in Lebanon, Ohio?
The City of Lebanon runs its own electric, water, sewer, storm-water and refuse services, so for most addresses inside the city those accounts are with the city rather than a regional utility. Service areas can differ just outside the city limits, so when you are under contract, confirm with the city which services cover the specific address, and ask about connection timelines and any deposits for new accounts so service is on when you move in.
How do I estimate property taxes on a Lebanon home?
Lebanon is in Warren County, so review recent bills and assessed values for the parcel through the Warren County Auditor and include taxes in your monthly payment estimate. If you are looking at new construction, homes are typically reassessed based on their improvements, so check the parcel record and tax history to understand what future bills will look like.
What happens if my Lebanon home appraises below my offer?
Your lender bases the loan on the lower appraised value, not the contract price, so the gap changes your loan amount and the cash you need at closing. Your options include bringing more cash, asking the seller to reduce the price or offer a concession, requesting an appraisal review, adjusting your loan terms, or using your appraisal contingency to exit. Put any change in writing and confirm the new deadlines.
Which school district serves Lebanon?
Lebanon City Schools serves the 45036 area. The district lists five buildings: Bowman Primary, Donovan Elementary, Berry Intermediate, Lebanon Junior High and Lebanon High School. School-quality assessments are personal and change over time, so for current ratings, boundary maps and program details, consult public resources such as the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce and the district's own website.
