Skating into the Holidays
November 16th, 2008 categories: Cincinnati, Ohio, Entertainment, Real Estate News
In spite of the department stores decorating for the Christmas/Holiday season before Halloween- for me the season really starts with watching parades and eating turkey….and…
Ice skating on Fountain Square in downtown Cincinnati!
One thing I notice about downtown, it doesn’t matter what is going on- the skating rink is usually busy. Maybe we need more fun, family oriented activities in downtown Cincinnati throughout the year.
More activities would draw more people to support the small businesses we need in order to pull more people into buying real estate downtown.

Data from Greater Cincinnati Multiple Listing Service
Real estate sales for West Chester/Liberty Township and Beckett Ridge (Lakota School District) are on a steady course.
Sellers are still “begging” and buyers are still looking for “treats” in the marketplace.
In October 81 single family homes and 13 condominiums sold/closed- slightly down from September. The sale price is hanging in there- with slight variations from the previous month.
This is good news because while inventory is at an all time high, real estate in the Lakota School District is not diving in value.
The Multiple Listing Service of Greater Cincinnati has statistics showing a 10.4 month inventory of real estate for the greater Cincinnati area market- and they consider 4.5 to 5 month supply as a “balanced” market.
Abundant supply of real estate can be good news for both motivated sellers and buyers.

Green or Yellow Real Estate?
November 11th, 2008 categories: Real Estate Buying, Real Estate News, Real Estate Sales
Yesterday morning on my way to work I passed 2 gas stations within a few blocks of each other.
Green and Yellow!
Can you guess which one had a line of cars? And since my car runs equally well on either brand, I stopped and purchased Green.
In today’s real estate market, I think a strong visual about pricing might be useful for sellers.
So…”Mr. & Mrs. Seller the buyer is comparing your property to several (read: mucho many)properties in the area- are you sure you want them to drive by your real estate looking for a better value?”
Yes, I have heard all the arguments about why one home is worth significantly more than the house next door, but the next time you are house hunting and you see several homes in the same neighborhood (with the same amenities and square footage) and a few of the properties are priced significantly higher- ask yourself this question?
Green or Yellow?

Data from Greater Cincinnati Multiple Listing Service
Sometimes in real estate-no news is good news!
The numbers for single family and condominium sales in the Fairfield School District are almost the same at last month.
35 single family and 13 condominiums closed during October, however the number of active listings increased….so sellers should anticipate more market time and lots of competition.
The Multiple Listing Service of Greater Cincinnati has statistics showing a 10.4 month inventory of real estate for the greater Cincinnati area market- and they consider 4.5 to 5 month supply as a “balanced” market.
Abundant supply of real estate can be good news for both motivated sellers and buyers.
