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. - $567,450

-
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. - $216

Covers homes with Mason 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. Data courtesy of the MLS of Greater Cincinnati. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed — independently verify all details. These figures are not an appraisal or an estimate of any specific home's value; for a specific home, ask us for a comparative market analysis.

Mason, in plain English.
Mason is a city in Warren County, northeast of Cincinnati along the I-71 corridor. The footprint is large enough that you'll find a mix of older single-family neighborhoods near downtown, mid-tier subdivisions throughout the city, and several planned communities with pools, clubhouses, and walking paths at the edges.
Mason's location relative to employment centers to the south - including Blue Ash and Sharonville - and its direct I-71 access make it a common landing spot for commuters. For current listings and pricing in Mason, our live home search reflects what's on the market now.
Real estate and homes in Mason.
Most homes in Mason are single-family, built largely from the 1980s through the 2010s, with buyer interest often centered on updated kitchens, open family-room layouts, and finished basements. Because conditions shift through the year, our live home search shows current inventory and pricing rather than a snapshot that goes out of date.
Several planned communities - including those off Western Row, Mason-Montgomery, and Tylersville Roads - offer pool, clubhouse, and walking-path amenities. Townhomes and condos are available in select pockets for buyers seeking lower-maintenance options.

Buying in Mason, answered.
Which county is Mason in, and how do property taxes work on a new build there?
Mason is a city in Warren County on the I-71 corridor, ZIP 45040. Review assessed values and recent bills for a specific parcel through the Warren County Auditor, and include taxes in your monthly payment estimate. New homes are typically reassessed based on their improvements, so on new construction, check the parcel record and tax history with the county to understand what future bills will look like.
What should I review before buying in a Mason planned community?
Several planned communities, including those off Western Row, Mason-Montgomery and Tylersville Roads, have pools, clubhouses and walking paths. Where an association maintains them, review the budget, the reserve study, the rules and the assessment history before you make an offer. In developer-controlled HOAs, fees may start low and rise after control turns over to residents, so read the governing documents too.
How is the commute from Mason?
Mason has direct I-71 access, south toward Cincinnati and north toward Columbus, with the Blue Ash and Sharonville employment centers a short drive south. Your commute is about predictable travel time and road options, not just distance, so test your actual route at the hours you would drive it before you commit to a home.
