How Today’s Housing Market Is Evolving... And Why Affordable Paths to Home Ownership Still Exist in Cincinnati

Affordability has become one of the biggest concerns for buyers across the country. Rising prices, competitive markets, and financial uncertainty make it feel harder than ever to secure a home. But as highlighted in a recent Cincinnati Magazine feature — where I had the opportunity to contribute my perspective — the Greater Cincinnati region still offers meaningful and realistic pathways to affordable homeownership.

In a moment when many are questioning whether they can ever buy a home, this article sheds light on the shifts, opportunities, and strategies that buyers can use to move forward.

Cincinnati Remains One of the Nation’s Most Accessible Markets

Despite national headlines, Greater Cincinnati remains one of the most stable and accessible markets in the country. As I shared with the magazine:

With costs still below national averages and inventory slowly increasing, buyers finally have a bit more breathing room. For many people, this opens the door to possibilities that didn’t exist just a few years ago.

Your Home Is More Than a Place to Live, It’s an Asset

One of the biggest messages I emphasized in the article is the importance of understanding the financial potential of homeownership:

“A home isn’t just where you sleep.... It’s an asset that can strengthen your financial future.”

Whether you’re preparing to buy your first home or looking to expand your investment portfolio, the right property can help you build equity, stability, and long-term wealth.

Shifts in How People Choose to Live

The feature also explores an emerging trend that’s shaping housing decisions nationwide: shared and multi-generational living. Rising housing costs, lifestyle changes, and financial strategy are encouraging more people to live together in creative ways.

As I noted in the article, more people will “choose to live together, not out of crisis, but out of financial strategy.”

This shift aligns closely with my work in shared housing, where I help property owners and investors design sustainable models that meet today’s real-world needs.
