There are a lot of people still asking questions about the newly legislated First Time Home-Buyer Tax Credit program. For details about the program click here. Remember, the program is an income tax "credit" and does not reduce the amount of money needed to purchase your home. If you still have questions-call or email.

If you believed everything you saw on TV today, any real estate seller (or buyer) in West Chester, Fairfield or Cincinnati could whip any house into shape with a little sweat and a few dollars.

Unfortunately-nothing could be further from the truth.

The neighbors win!

You wanted to know what is going on in real estate for "our neighborhood" so I will keep it short and simple.

The single family homes in the Villages of Wildwood are divided into 3 sections: Fairways 1, Fairways 2 and the Greens. If you are not sure the location of your house-let me see if I can clarify the locatations for you. If you have electric heat, you live in Fairways 1. If live on Annandale or the streets off Annandale- you are a resident of the Greens and if you drive all the way up Woodside passed the Bluffs to get home- Fairways 2. In the last 12 months 2 homes have sold-2 in Fairways 1 and 1 in the Greens. 1 home sale is pending in Fairways 2 on Woodside. Currently there are 2 homes and 1 lot up for sale: 1 in Fairways 1 on Brians Lane and in the Greens on Pinnacle Peak and the lot on Brushback. (Driving around, I did see the for sale sign on Pineview- but per the Multiple Listing Service of Greater Cincinnati, the property is not currently an active listing.)

There are 36 homes for listed for sale in Fairfield (per the Multiple Listing Service) priced from $200,000. to $325,000 and 12 of the listings are for new construction homes. Every seller needs to be aware of what is happening in real estate for Fairfield as well as our neighborhood- and then price their property for a quick sale.
