State of the Market Report for Geauga County as of September 2009

Welcome to my September 2009 report on the state of the real estate market for Geauga County. Please feel free to refer to previous postings to watch for changes.

As a service to all potential buyers and sellers, I would be happy to provide you with statistics on your county, your town, your price range, etc. so you can get a clear picture of how many homes are selling and how long they take to sell. To give you an overall picture of Geauga County as a whole, I've included a few statistics for your review!

The current trend (as of September, 2009) is decrease in the number of homes for sale from the same month last year. In September of 2008 there were 849 homes on the market, of which 54 sold. In September of 2009, there were 840 homes on the market (a decrease in inventory 9 homes from one year to the next), of which 49 sold. In September of 2008, for those homes that did sell, they were on the market an average of 102 days. For those homes that sold in September of 2009, the average days on market were 118, representing an increase of 16 days from one year to the next. Refer to the chart below for a visual representation:

What does this mean if you're thinking of selling and you want to be amongst the SOLDs? It's simple!

  • Price your home at or below market value
  • Make sure your home shows beautifully
  • Choose a realtor (like Dan!) that knows how to market your home to the widest audience possible! If you have all three of these, there is no reason you shouldn't end up with a nice big "SOLD" sign in your yard, but miss any one of them and you'll be sitting around waiting...
