Cincy Magazine Rates the Burbs
June 3rd, 2010 categories: Cincinnati Ohio, Neighborhoods, Real Estate News
In the June issue of Cincy Magazine the top 50 suburbs in metro Cincinnati are ranked and rated.
The magazine has been rating the burbs for years and while I don’t always agree with their findings- the rankings do provide some insight into individual communities and school districts.
Maybe one day our/mine/your community will make the top 20 list!

Cincinnati Real Estate and You!
June 2nd, 2010 categories: Neighborhoods, Real Estate News, Real Estate Sales
This weekend the Cincinnati Enquirer ran an in-depth article about the local real estate market.
Both buyers and sellers will find useful data about home prices- some of the info can be upsetting to sellers…
- Median prices since 2004 for:
- Hyde Park -down 9.43%
- Wyoming – down 10.07%
- Oakley- up 7.%
- West Chester- down 3.19%
- Fairfield- down 10.14%
- Mason-down 3.11%
Regardless of how your neighborhood is selling- remember mortgage interest rates remain very very low. People looking to move up- may-in most cases be paying less for their next home.
Pricing your home to sell-based on what you need to “net” in order to move on is today’s #1 seller mistake.
Out-of-touch with today’s local real estate market? The easiest way to resolve that problem is to “subscribe now”.

Cincinnati CiTiRAMA
April 22nd, 2010 categories: Cincinnati Ohio, Neighborhoods, Real Estate News
The Home Builders Association of Greater Cincinnati is presenting CiTirama in Rockford Woods in June.
Imagine sitting on your deck in the morning and leaving just 15 minutes before you are due at your downtown office.The property is nestled into rolling woods off Hamilton Avenue- a quick hop to downtown Northside and 10-15 minutes from downtown, University of Cincinnati and “Pill Hill”.
Buyers (some homes are already sold) benefit from property tax abatement and, depending on construction, LEEDS tax credits for energy efficiency. Home prices range from just below $200,000 to $299,000- much more affordable and functional for most of today’s buyers. And potential buyers will be surprised by how much “green” surrounds the development-lots of trees and rolling terrain.
Need directions or want to talk about moving closer to the city center- call or email now.

Who Moved My Property?
December 9th, 2009 categories: Neighborhoods, Real Estate News, Real Estate Selling
Last night WCPO News ran an interesting story highlighting a frustrated homeowner who purchased a home in Hyde Park in 2001 and now finds the Multiple Listing Service of Greater Cincinnati (MLS) considers the house location as Oakley!
Talk about surprise- who moved the house? Well actually the property didn’t sneak to another location while the owners were sleeping- MLS was simply adhering to their rules by following CAGIS (Cincinnati Area Geographical Information System). CAGIS is an organization comprised of business, city and county entities (details here) working together on a shared data base.
Realtors rely on the MLS to help provide accurate address location data.
I am sure you have heard somebody describe their property in some location- Wyoming, Glendale, Finneytown -when in reality it was situated on a street near or very near the actual boundary lines. Over the years, the lines become blurred and as confusing (and probably frustrating for owners caught in the middle of the change) the location of any property needs to be decided by “neutral well informed source” and not the general public or their Realtors. (me included)
If you live in Cincinnati and want to know your exact location in CAGIS- follow the link below. Once you are on the site find Locating Tools on the left side bar, click on address and you are ready to go. Click here to get started.

Data from Greater Cincinnati Multiple Listing Service
During the month of October 34 homes and 12 condos closed in West Chester, 3 homes and zero condos in Beckett Ridge and 45 homes and zero condos in Liberty Township. Good news both the listing and sale prices have drifted upward. Closings have slowed-but the extension of the tax credit should continue to fuel activity throughout the coming months. Credit remains tight-so the available pool of buyers has not expanded.
