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.  Most importantly, our purchase analysis for buyers includes the street, neighborhood, and the local community facts.

If your interest is in homes priced above $500,000, the above chart indicates an inventory of 58 months.  If you are ready to negotiate, there are still excellent values available in every price range.

The key change, in my estimation, is what the sellers are doing with offers that come across the table. 

Buyers and sellers (buyers agents/sellers agents) would normally use the same market facts to arrive at what they determine to be fair market value for a property.  Somehow, and in about 90% of the cases, there would be a significant discrepancy in the values reached by buyer and seller.

In today’s market, sellers have changed.  While still not willing to listen to low ball offers, sellers are now compelled to see the picture from the other side of the table.  When they do, transactions have been the result.

That’s the way we find it in the suburban Greater Cleveland market.

Good reasons to buy now…low mortgage rates, home prices have dropped, tax credit for 1^st time buyers, more properties available, and MOTIVATED SELLERS.   

Now is a great time to contact us…
