Columbus City Schools Update – Closings – Awards – Annual Report
October 29th, 2009 categories: Columbus News, For Home Buyers, For Home Sellers
The idea of school closings can terrify a community. Many local neighborhood schools in the City of Columbus, however, are experiencing declining attendance.

Third Thursday Open Houses coming to an (seasonal) end Next Week
October 8th, 2009 categories: Bexley, For Home Buyers
A few years ago many Columbus Neighborhoods enjoyed “Third Thursday” open houses. Us local Columbus Realtor types had an idea that home buyers would like an alternative to open houses being held only on Sunday.
It worked, but it didn’t work well in some locations. For example,the idea never really took off in Clintonville and Midtown [...]

Sidewalks. Do they add value? Whose responsibility are sidewalks?
September 29th, 2009 categories: About Me?, Bexley, Clintonville, For Home Buyers, German Village, Olde Towne East, Short North
I’ve found that sidewalks tend to be a value added feature for buyers looking at Columbus Homes for sale. Most of my buyers buy homes inside of I-270 and most of my buyers prefer to have sidewalks for ease of travel when walking around the neighborhood, for a safe place to meet and greet neighbors, [...]

This Columbus Home has Instant Equity — Oh Really?
September 14th, 2009 categories: About Me?, Bexley, Clintonville, Downtown, For Home Buyers, For Home Sellers, German Village, Grandview, Market Updates, Olde Towne East, Real Estate News, Short North, westgate
Instant Equity. Two words anyone buying real estate in Clintonville, Bexley, Grandview, Downtown, Short North, Berwick, Westgate or anywhere else in Central Ohio love to hear.
The problem is, I’ve heard those two words too often lately. The problem is the context and the definition of instant equity. In my opinion, anyone buying a home that [...]

Columbus City Schools….Getting Better All The Time?
September 1st, 2009 categories: Columbus News, For Home Buyers, For Home Sellers
I’ve got to admit, many in and around Columbus are simply used to thinking the worst about Columbus City Schools. For no particular reason, other than habit, it’s often assumed that the Columbus City School district has nothing to offer. In many parts of town I know that is simply not true. Columbus City Schools [...]

How Realtors Stole the $8,000 1st Time Columbus Homebuyer Tax Credit
August 28th, 2009 categories: For Home Buyers, For Home Sellers, Market Updates, Mortgage/Finance, Real Estate News
Not the money itself, just the concept. I’m amazed by how many Listing Signs, Agent MLS remarks and Brokerage Office Signs are screaming out $8,000 Tax Credit!! If I didn’t know better, I would think it was the National Association of Realtors, not the United States Congress, that came up with this idea and told [...]
