Why Would You Be Waiting For Spring Time To Sell Your Beachwood OH Home?

It's not a secret that many home sellers in Greater Cleveland postpone listings of their homes till Spring time. Usually it is worth it because our winters may be not so pleasant, and it's harder to show the houses during snow days.

Selling homes in winter may be also challenging because there are usually fewer home buyers on the Winter market than in Spring time.

Not this year. Working with home buyers, we run into situation when it's more buyers than matching homes. And I'm not talking about serial Deal seakers. I am talking about the first time home buyers or moving up buyers who need a good place for their families to live.

Let's look at the popular Beachwood OH Real Estate market. Per NorthEastern Ohio Multiple Listing Services (NORMLS), there were 78 single family homes sold in 2011. As of 01/28/2012, only 29 houses in Beachwood are offered for sale. Most of these houses have been on the market for a while - we see even the one with 934 days on the market. Average DOM (Days On Market) is 204, Cumulative average DOM is 249 days.

Winter Buyers' activity is pretty high, that's why we have 18 houses which are currently under the contract - in contingent or pending status. BTW most of these homes found their buyers after long time on the market - average DOM of over 230 days. That's a good news.

Bad news is that there are not enough homes for the active and ready buyers. Let's look at the market data. In 2011 therer were 31 homes sold in less than 60 days on the market. And 17 homes sold in less than 30 days!

Follow The Money. What Investors Buy in Greater Cleveland .

Cleveland East Side.

Cleveland is a new Mecca for smart Real Estate investors. I am talking about smart investment, made for profit, not for pleasure :-). Unfortunately, we witnessed too many not so smart decisions and too bad consequences of not too smart decisions made by some of Real Estate investors in Cleveland in the past, up to the loss of the property to foreclosure.

What exactly today's smart Real Estate investors do?

- Analyze the market

- Strategize (short term or long term - rent or flip? whom to target as your tenants or buyes? )

- Set the goals

- Underdstand and assess right investment budget: acquisition costs, Point of Sale responsibilities, remodeling costs, marketing costs, holding expenses (property taxes, proper insurance, local government registration fees, exterior maintenance, utility bills), legal fees, other professional fees (Real Estate brokerage or property management, accounting, banking)

- Plan right

- Buy at the right price and conditions

- Hire the right crew to do the repairs or remodeling, if needed.

In most cases investors chose to buy for a long term and rent out the properties, in some cases with option to sell the house to the tenants. The reality of today's Real Estate market in Greater Cleveland is that cost of ownership is much lower than cost of renting the property. At the same time rental demand is very high.

Sounds tempting, doesn't it?

Do your research, investigate pros and contras, count your money and assess your time and skills - these are great assets! Then chose carefully with whom to work, and - have a great investment!
