Strongsville: great place to live. Business is booming. Housing prices are affrodable.

Amazing Strongsville! It's probably one of just few unique places in the whole Greater Cleveland area where the businesses are booming, shopping plazas are growing, streets are getting better!

Good news is that home prices are still very affordable here. May be, it does not sound really exciting for current homeowners but the houses in Strongsville do not lose value. They do not gain a lot, too. But this fact is real exciting for the new home buyers. Isn't it an opportunity? You may buy the house today for a very decent and affordable price and get a close access to all Strongsville amenities!

Nice 3 bedroom split level house is offered for sale by Local-n-Global Realty.

Mayfield Heights condominiums are still desirable, no matter what...

What is going on with condominiums in Mayfield Heights this year?

The Cuyahoga County statistics data on condominium sales in 2008 does not look real pretty. According to Realist.com,

Condominium
 Time Period Number of Sales Median Sale Price 
 Jun 2008 111 $125,000 
 Jun 2007 164 $118,000 
 May 2008 79 $122,000 
 May 2007 140 $124,000 
 2008 YTD 564 $117,500 
 2007 1,419 $115,000 

However, the condo market in Mayfield Heights is different. Regardless all financial obstacles which Fannie May created for fair borrowers willing to buy Real Estate, especially condominiums, in Cuyahoga County, there are still many people who prefer carefree condominium lifestyle in Mayfield Heights.

Per MLS, this year 25 condominiums in Mayfield Heights closed on the average price of $134,000. It was a lot of negotiations on price, as sellers received 92 % of asking price in 2008.

Same period of 2007 gave us 19 sales for average price of $135,000 (no changes whatsoever). Sellers were not ready to negotiate: Sold price / List price ratio was 98 % in 2007.

Interesting: despite all the negative news on Real Estate market, sellers of Mayfield Heights condos were more optimistic on pricing this year. Reality check, though made them accept the same price as it was in 2007. Out of my and my colleagues' experience - sellers are better prepared for sale this year than a year before. Condos are in a better shape. More remodeling and staging done. As a result, buyers get the better deals. May be that's the secret of better activity on this market?

Dear buyers! Please pay attention to the wonderful condo in the Golden Gate Villas of Mayfield Heights. That's the perfect sample of the sellers' great job on getting it ready for new owners: newly redone bathrooms, nice updated kitchen, fresh paint, comfort and beauty. Just move in!

Why are Sellers, Buyers and Real estate Agents are so confused about Lyndhurst Real Estate market?

Few days ago I received a very nice "Thank you for your nice Market Snapshot" e-mail from one lady who needs to sell her house in Lyndhurst, OH. BTW, Lyndhurst was named as a number one suburb in Greater Cleveland by Cleveland Magazine last year. Lady's comment about the current market condition in Lyndhurst is, It's nice but very sad. She is the Seller, remember?

I work with the other seller who is trying to sell his very nice Lyndhurst house for a while. His opinion is very similar to one mentioned above.

All the sellers are in the same state of constant confusion. The same are the Buyers. And - honestly - it looks like the same are the Real Estate agents, at least many of them.

Do you remember the Seller's market? When it was not so hard for the listing agents to act "in the best interests of the sellers clients" and negotiate the highest price? What is "the best interest of the sellers clients" today? Correct. Get the house sold. For ANY price which buyer is willing to pay and seller is - sad, but - ready to accept. It still sounds weird for many of us agents.

And don't forget the banks' contribution to the total confusion. Banks still sell the very nice $230K houses for $144K. Banks still deny the investors' loans at the very last moment for no apparent reason. Banks still make it hard for honest, hard working people to get their houses financed.

The bright side is that we still have great neighborhoods to live in. We still have a lot of real good buyers and many very reasonable sellers. Even the banks start selling not-so-bad-looking houses. Sometimes.

And if you'd like to move into a very nice Lyndhurst house in a very quiet,beautiful Lyndhurst neighborhood, please do not hesitate Local-n-Global Realty. We have one for you!
