This makes sense. Cincinnati's housing market has been pretty stable over the past five or so years. The big price increases -- which weren't that big -- were in 2003, and then prices settled down the next year (just in time for me to put my house on the market, LOL). And Cincinnati has a lot of affordable housing in solid neighborhoods.

Also, Cincinnati's economy is diverse. That helps -- not as many people are losing their jobs, and when they do, it's easier to find another one.
