Historic Columbus Homes, Old Windows and New Ideas
March 24th, 2009 categories: Bexley, Clintonville, For Home Buyers, For Home Sellers, German Village, Grandview, Olde Towne East
I ran across a post today that made an impression on me. I show a lot of homes in the downtown neighborhoods where the homes can be as old they can be in Columbus–oldest maybe 140 years or so.
Many buyers fall in love with the homes themselves but not the idea of the upkeep and [...]

Can Be Found Here
By month’s end, I plan to do a year end wrap-up for most areas in and around Columbus that I most often write about. It’s funny how carried away one can get with numbers and statistics whose meanings are up for grabs and easy to manipulate.
When it comes down to it, market [...]

What Style of Homes can you Find for Sale in Columbus
July 1st, 2008 categories: About Me?, Bexley, Clintonville, German Village, Grandview, Real Estate News, Short North
As fascinated as I am in home styles, I’m no architect. When I describe the architecture of my listings or homes I am showing, I find it helps buyers appreciate their value.
