REALTORS® are licensed professionals and real estate is what we do everyday.  REALTORS® subscribe to a stringent code of ethics and standards.  Most people buy and sell only a few homes in a lifetime.  Even if you’ve done it before, laws and regulations change (and vary by state);  that’s why having a professional REALTOR® on your side is critical.

Call us if we can help you with your home search or to assist you in finding a Buyers’ Agent.

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…

                        Pure and simple, there are a lot of homes for sale in CHAGRIN FALLS.  The same is likely to be true for Solon, Twinsburg, Aurora, and Russell.  If you need to know for your specific area, even for developments like Laurel Springs, Barrington, and Canyon Lakes, give us a call.  The above numbers may be eye openers for many of you.  If you are currently selling your home, you are probably very well aware of them.  Most importantly, ALL BUYERS AND SELLERS should be aware of them for your street, neighborhood, and community.  The numbers can change dramatically by location, even within your local community.

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 4 years.  If you are ready to negotiate, there are excellent values available in every price range.   

 For families and individuals involved in a relocation transfer, you’re timing couldn’t be any better.  The Greater Cleveland Community has so much to offer and is one of the most affordable major metropolitan areas in the country.
