Thank goodness we are now passed the worst months for real estate in Cleveland. The past 2 months have brought havoc to our statistics, which had been steadily improving by report.

Each price range reflected additional listings and reduced sales. Sunshine and government incentives should reflect positively in our next reporting period.

HOW TO SAVE A HOME FROM FORECLOSURE FOR $5

Jim Norbuta — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 04:08:37 +0000

Saving a home from forclosure for $5 is a definite possibility.

This fundraiser is to benefit Veronique Tucker and her 5 year old son Alex. Their lives were forever changed when her husband Joe died suddenly on October 19, 2009. Joe was a highly decorated Navy Veteran who served all of us in Desert Storm. Joe and Veronique were married for 16 years, and Joe was just beginning a new business after a lengthy period of being unemployed.

On January 23rd, we held a CHILI COOK-OFF to help Veronique and Alex remain in their home. Although over $3,000 was raised, it will only temporarily allow Veronique and Alex to remain in their Auburn Township, Ohio home.

There were approximately 50 volunteers and 160 attendees at the cook-off, including 20 chili cooks, 20 dessert & corn-bread bakers, and many others who helped with the event. THERE WERE 20 BLUE RIBBON CHILIS PREPARED.

We are selling the AWARD WINNING CHILI RECIPES FOR A $5 DONATION.

Your $5 donation, along with sharing this website address, will save this family another trauma of leaving their family home.
Checks can be made out to The Tucker Family and mailed to:

Citizens Bank 8555 Tanglewood Square Chagrin Falls, OH 44023

Too bad you missed the Chili Cook-off Fundraiser. Island Jeff’s Carribean music was great. However, if you need an AWARD WINNING CHILI RECIPE FOR YOUR SUPER BOWL PARTY, the recipes are right here.

You can also help by forwarding this link to your e-mail friends who may have interest in the chili recipes, the fundraising, or both:

Months of Inventory 12.8

The past 3 months showed dramatic improvement in the $150-300,000 price range. The inventory level fell from 9 months to 7 months. This is good news for home sellers in these communities with homes to sell in this price range. The news is not so good for buyers in the upper 2 price ranges. The inventory levels for the $300-500,000 range increased from 12 months to 15 months and the inventory for homes in the $500,000 and up price range increased from 22 months to 31 months inventory. Home sellers in these ranges will face an uphill battle if they need to sell their homes in the near future. The strong home buyers’ market exists in the upper price ranges for Chagrin Falls real estate.

If you are looking to purchase a home in the next few months, please give us a call. We show all properties listed by any real estate broker and most for sale by owner homes. If you find a home on any website, we can schedule a showing for you. Most importantly, our purchase analysis for buyers includes the street, neighborhood, and the local community facts.
