West Chester & Liberty Township OH Real Estate: Tuesday Open House

by Leave a Comment

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…

 

New Listing: 8419 Edgeview Drive, West Chester, Ohio. Located just minutes from the shopping and dining at Voice Of America and both I-75 and I-71.  This terrific home really is a must see. It features three bedrooms and two and a half baths, along with a cathedral great room, remodeled kitchen, large master w/ adjoining bath and first floor laundry. You can get more information and see interior and exterior photos of 8419 Edgeview Drive in West Chester, Ohio on our website, www.LowryTeam.com.

 

 

Need Mulch? As I have mentioned several times, if you are 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. My mulch is being delivered this week…anyone like to help??

 

10 Days To Tax Credit Expiration: The tax credit of $8000 for first time hombuyers and $6500 for move up buyers expires on April 30th, 2010.  Could the time to buy be after the expiration of the tax credits?  Maybe… homeowners that haven’t sold may be more likely to accept a lower price if the showing and selling activity slows after the tax credit expiration, providing an even better opportunity for a good deal.  Will the activity slow?  No one knows, we will just have to wait and see.  Also, keep in mind interest rates remain very, very low.

 

Keller Williams RED Day:  Keller Williams Realty Red Day plans are underway! On May 13th, the Keller Williams Associate Partners office will be conducting a huge food and clothing collection drive for Reach Out Lakota!!!! Praying the day will be a huge success…Please RSVP to let us know if you would like to donate…we’ll come to your home on May 13th and pick up your donations. All you have to do is leave it out on your front porch for us.  To RSVP, please visit our Lowry Team Real Estate Facebook Fan Page!

 

 

It Must Be Spring:  You know it is spring in West Chester and Liberty Township when The Cone opens.  I drove by the Tylersville Road landmark this past week and the crowds were already huge.  The Cone is the local ice cream destination.  Check out their website for more information and to read the history of this local West Chester business.

 

Our Facebook Fan Page of the week is: The Cincinnati Bengals.  This week is the NFL draft and the eyes of all Bengal fans will be on the team to see which players they select.  Hopefully it will be a successful weekend for the Bengals.  Check out their Facebook page for all of the details.

West Chester & Liberty Township OH Real Estate: Tuesday Open House

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.
