Eric Lowry & The Lowry Team advertise your home across all of the national real estate websites like Realtor.com, Trulia, Zillow and many, many others. When your home is listed for sale with The Lowry Team it is also advertised on all of the local Cincinnati Real Estate broker websites. We believe that there is no such thing as too much exposure.

April 23, 2012 by Eric Lowry Leave a Comment

RED (Renew, Energize, and Donate) Day is a Keller Williams Realty service initiative dedicated to improving our local communities. On May 10^th, 2012 our local office will be participating in the 3rd Annual Keller Williams Realty RED Day. All Keller Williams associates in the US and Canada will donate this day to projects related to renewing and energizing their local communities.

This year, Keller Williams Associate Partners have chosen Reach Out Lakota to support in collecting donations. Reach Out Lakota is a non-profit, community-sponsored organization that gives eligible families in West Chester and Liberty Township food and clothing. No one can predict a layoff, a fire, or unfortunate event. The economic downturn and cost of fuel has caused a financial crisis on some families who have never before had to ask for aid. Reach Out Lakota helps our neighbors who have fallen on hard times.

We cannot thank you enough for joining us in our efforts to help Reach Out Lakota assist those in our community in need. Please stop by our office at 7395 Kingsgate Way any weekday prior to Thursday, May 10^th to drop off a donation. Or if you would rather, we will pick up your donation on Thursday, May 10^th ~ simply let us know that you will be donating, leave your donation on your front porch by 9:00 a.m. that morning, and we will be more than happy to pick it up from you on that day.

Below is a list of the items that Reach Out Lakota is in need of. We will also accept a monetary donation (tax deductible) ~ please make checks payable to Reach Out Lakota. We are very excited about the Keller Williams Realty RED Day program and are confident that the success of this program will not only strengthen Keller Williams Realty and its culture across the nation, but also encourage others to donate their time for the benefit of our community. We look forward to including you in our success!

Thank you, once again, for your generosity!

March 2012 Home Sales West Chester & Liberty Twp. OH Real Estate

April 22, 2012 by Eric Lowry Leave a Comment

LowryTeam.com Real Estate Trends Report – March 2012 Home Sales West Chester & Liberty Twp. OH

Here is the newest edition of our LowryTeam.com Monthly Real Estate Trends Report. This report, published monthly, provides a look at the first three months worth of real estate home sale data for West Chester, Beckett Ridge and Liberty Township, Ohio. It is a local trends report and makes no attempt to draw overall conclusions or make predictions for the larger real estate market. In fact we believe that anyone that makes an attempt to predict future, national real estate market conditions or draws conclusions on recent historical data nationally is just out of touch with reality. There is no such thing as a national weather forecast and there is no such thing as a real estate one either. ALL real estate is local!

The source of our data is the Greater Cincinnati Multiple Listing Service. By seeking out and understanding the trends in our market place we are better able to forecast the upcoming market conditions and counsel our clients on pricing strategies to get their home sold for the highest possible price. Any thoughts and insight into what may occur in the future are solely our opinions and forecasts.

This month we are breaking the data down into several different blog posts. This first article will cover home sales for the for the first three months of 2012 (January – March):

A close look at the home sales for West Chester & Liberty Township Ohio:

As we move into April and look back at the first three months of home sales for West Chester and Liberty Township, the trend that we are seeing right now is one that continues to support the belief that the housing market locally has stabilized in terms of home sales. The 1st quarter sales last year (2011) were weak, so our comparisons of the home sales figures continue to show improvement when compared to 2011. Sales in the first three months of 2012 have shown a significant, 10.80% increase over the home sales numbers for the first three months of 2011. While sales have shown a pretty nice uptick in this time frame, a little historical perspective is helpful in understanding where we are in the overall health of the real estate market. March 2012, while much improved over the previous few months, was the third lowest March home sales number we have seen since 2001. In fact the March 2012 home sales total was less than half of the total that was seen in March of 2005 and 2006.

As can be seen by the graph above we seem to be trending along a path very similar to 2010’s home sales. However, the months of April – June of 2010 were very much effected (inflated) by the homebuyer tax credit that was in place in 2010. Thus we are unlikely to stay on a track that will keep us even with 2010. The more likely senario we believe is that we will track along a path somewhere between the home sales of 2010 and 2011.

Summary:

As we have stated previously in the LowryTeam.com: West Chester, Beckett Ridge and Liberty Township real estate market update, the market remains challenging for home sellers and is full of opportunity for homebuyers. The real estate market in West Chester and Liberty Township has really become two distinctly different markets when you look at the differences in activity and levels of inventory for sale broken down by price range. We will take a look at this trend in our next article.

The primary threats or obstacles to the recovery of real estate market are continued high unemployment, a continued oversupply of homes for sale and the potential loss of the mortgage interest tax deduction. Interest rates continue to hover at the historical low levels of around 4.25%.

Tuesday Open House: West Chester & Mason Ohio Real Estate – April 17, 2012

April 16, 2012 by Eric Lowry Leave a Comment

It’s Tuesday, so this must be the Tuesday Open House – West Chester & Mason Ohio Real Estate News

What is Tuesday Open House?? Well, it’s clearly not an “open house”. Open Houses don’t sell homes… great internet marketing does… however it makes a really great title for a weekly blog post on West Chester & Mason Ohio Real Estate News.

It is my way of throwing the doors open on the RealEstate-Ink.com blog and offering up a few quick articles and facts on real estate for the West Chester, Liberty Township, Beckett Ridge, Mason and Fairfield Township, Ohio areas. It is not intended to be all about homes for sale, but it will be about that some of the time…
