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.

From my March Real Estate Newsletter:
It’s becoming the buzz word in housing — “green” homes are what many buyers are interested in these days. According to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), as much as 90 percent of home buyers think that energy efficiency is a very important factor when shopping for a home. These same buyers are also very interested in environment-friendly features including having housing close to parks, public transportation, and well-designed neighborhoods with sidewalks.
