Downtown Columbus Traffic Updates – Ramps/Exits Closing
October 4th, 2011 categories: About Me?, Columbus News, Downtown, German Village, Olde Towne East, Short North
As part of the Columbus Crossroads project, (i.e.-The I70-71 split fix by the ODOT) several ramp closures are in effect.
The ramp from 5th Avenue to I-71 south is closed until November 2012; the detour is Leonard Avenue.
These next two I use all the time but don’t mind the slightly less convenient alternates. Really, Downtown Columbus [...]

This afternoon President Obama signed the bill into law that will extend the $8,000 homebuyer tax credit to contracts signed by April 30 and closed by June 30.
I’m surprised that they left the two month window but I think it’s very smart. Still, even if it were this week, I would not try to [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

July 28th, 2009 categories: Bexley, Clintonville, For Home Buyers, For Home Sellers, German Village, Grandview, Olde Towne East, Short North, westgate
This is a post I’ve been thinking about for a long time. Over the last few years, Buyers have fallen on both sides of the dining room fence.
The bottom line-Dining Rooms are like Fireplaces, everybody wants one but few use one. Americans love the idea of a dining room but how many families do you [...]

Kiddie Condos – Can Parents Still Fund Purchases for Children? Even if the kid has no income?
June 26th, 2009 categories: Condos & Lofts, For Home Buyers, Mortgage/Finance, Short North
I had someone ask me this question yesterday…..“Hey Joe, Can I qualify for an FHA loan if my parents co-sign since I have no income? Do I personally NEED to have income?”
The short answer is yes they can, even if the child has no income or assets to speak of. And, the adult child should [...]
