It’s time for the Tuesday Open House. What is Tuesday Open House?? Well, it’s clearly not an “open house”. Open Houses don’t sell homes, but it seemed like a good title for this weekly blog post. 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…

Real Estate Market Update: How is the real estate market? That is the big question today. The answer is very different depending on many factors. What you heard on the Today Show or read in the USA Today is not going to be the answer though. Getting your real estate market information from some national expert is a little like getting a national weather forecast: “In the US today it’s going to be a high of 67 with a chance of showers.” Really…where? It’s not much different with real estate. Some media report will say that home sales or prices will have dropped by some percent across the country. Again, I say really…where?

Real estate is local and in the market we have today it is hyper-local. Meaning the market is very different in one area of Cincinnati vs. another. The real estate market is also very different depending on the price range of the home. The first time homebuyer price range is very active right now and supply and demand are largely in balance. Higher price ranges continue to have quite an imbalance of homes for sale, thus continuing to cause pricing pressure. The moral of the story is… for accurate, local real estate information, contact an experienced local real estate expert. For more local real estate information, check back here later in the week for my RealEstate-Ink Market Update Report.

Need Mulch? Are you preparing your home to get it on the market for sale soon? Don’t forget the curb appeal. As the old saying goes… you only get one chance to make a good first impression. So clean up the landscaping and get yourself some fresh mulch. I’m not sure that there is a better way to go than to get it from the boy scouts. They even deliver! You can see the article in the Cincinnati Enquirer here or you can just go directly to the boy scouts site right here. I am placing my order this week.

Liberty Township Newsletter for March: The Liberty Township March newsletter is online and has a lot of good information whether you are a Liberty Township resident, potential resident or just live nearby and are interested in the area. There are articles on everything from the new fire station to information on parks, road improvements, population statistics and much more. You can find the Liberty Township newsletter here.

Our Facebook Fan Page of the week is: Cincinnati Reds. How could this week’s Fan Page Of The Week be anything else? It is less than two weeks until opening day! As of this writing their page has 96,043 fans. The Reds fan page as you might imagine has a lot of very interesting information and news concerning all of your favorite Reds players and of course Reds ticket information. Check it out.

West Chester OH Real Estate News: Low Mortgage Rates, Catch Them While You Can

January 13, 2010 by Eric Lowry Leave a Comment

West Chester Ohio Homes For Sale — Now might be the best time to lock in a low mortgage rate

Low interest rates have been gracing the real estate market with their presence for the past year but the word on the street is that they won’t be here much longer. While mortgage rates aren’t going to skyrocket out of sight, it is doubtful that they will decrease and certain that they will steadily begin to rise. Many so called experts expect that the 30 year rates may be at 6.00% or higher by years end.

For those wishing to lock in at below 5%, the time just might be now or never (or at least for a very long time). Today in fact I saw a 30 year fixed mortgage rate quoted at 4.85%. The general sentiment among economists is that rates are not going anywhere but up from here and in my opinion this is definitely the case. The federal government’s intervention in the mortgage market has caused rates to be artificially low for some time now. This intervention is coming to an end by March 30th.

The strengthening of the economy equals less chance for discounted rates. If you are looking to buy a home, now is the best time to do so. We have low interest rates, tax credits and a great supply of homes for sale. These three factors will not line up like this again at one time, for a very long time.

Looking for a referral to a good lender with good interest rates and reasonable closing costs? Call me or email me and I will get you in touch with a lender that will take great care in getting your financing lined up for you.
