Greater Cincinnati realtors are waiting to see what happens with the fiscal cliff. They don't want it to harm a recovering housing market.

For 17 months in a row Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky homes sales have increased. Cincinnati Area Board of Realtors President Tom Hasselbeck hopes the upward trend continues.

"It's all a combination of excellent interest rates, eager home buyers, the market is actually shrinking in terms of available homes."

The housing inventory is down 13% in Cincinnati.
