Will a New Huntington Ballpark Add Value to Columbus Homes?
March 11th, 2009 categories: About Me?, Columbus News, Condos & Lofts, Downtown, For Home Buyers, For Home Sellers, Grandview, Olde Towne East, Short North
Yesterday I parked over at the new Ball Park and walked around it. I love it. I am baseball fan and an Indians fan and the idea that this new Park is about 2 miles from my house makes very excited. I have tickets to the second game in the new stadium, a Sunday Afternoon [...]

Deal or No Deal? Columbus has its share of Foreclosures and short sales-how do you know?
March 2nd, 2009 categories: About Me?, For Home Buyers, Market Updates, Real Estate News, Short North
You could ask an informed Realtor, for starters. Typically, a Realtor could do a little research and tell you what similar homes have sold for in this or that neighborhood, what neighboring homes might be in contract at what price and what nearby homes on the market are listed for.
Not just any homes though, you [...]

Going, Going, Get a Piece of City Center before it’s Gone
February 10th, 2009 categories: About Me?, Columbus News
It’s not Yankee Stadium or the Shoe’s South Bleachers, but it’s a part of what Downtown Columbus has been about since I can remember. When Macy’s left City Center we scored a clothing display rack on wheels that we keep in our foyer and hang our coats on. As little as there is left [...]

Will City Center’s Demise Spell Relief for Downtown Condo Sales?
February 4th, 2009 categories: About Me?, Columbus News, Condos & Lofts, Downtown
Ding, Dong, the Mall is dead. So sang the Lollipop Guild Powers-That-Be from the Mayor’s Office to Capitol South Urban Redevelopment Corp. this afternoon. After years of full scale retail exodus, a not-too-hostile takeover by the City and an enormous amount of speculation, City Center isn’t getting a Target, a Grocery Store or becoming a Casino. [...]

Are you on the Hook If you Don’t Shovel the Sidewalk of Your Columbus Home?
January 28th, 2009 categories: About Me?, Columbus News, For Home Sellers
There are few things more frustrating than trudging through the un-shoveled sidewalks and driveways of Columbus homes that are for sale during showings with buyers. Of course once you get in and find that the home is vacant and freezing, that’s not much fun either.
One thing I was just considering is that people really only [...]

In the areas I pay attention to, 7 homes came on the market this morning. They included a home on Tulane in Clintonville, a Gahanna Condo, a New Albany new build and this four bed, 2 1/2 bath home in Westerville which chose to make a first impression with this same County Auditor photo in [...]

Expect the Unexpected
And make sure that you aren’t too tight on your margins, you will need an ever expanding checkbook to finance those unexpected fixes. How about this nice Columbus Foreclosure in a good, up and coming location at an attractive price. It was rehabbed for more than the owner expected and last week they [...]

January 7th, 2009 categories: About Me?, For Home Buyers, For Home Sellers
Looking back on my what do you want to see for 2008 post I wrote over a year ago, I’ve not accomplished much of what I wanted to do here on the blog. In fact, I can almost copy and paste the whole thing plus reader comments and use it as a guide for working [...]
