SOLDS October 2009	SALE PRICE
17682 Eastbrook Trl	$90,000

7682 Country Ln	$336,000
7860 Bainbrook	$417,500
17340 Red Fox Trl	$530,000
18770 Brewster	$710,000

SUMMARY

Overall, there were a total of 7 homes sales in Bainbridge in October at an average sales price of $353,714. Last October saw 13 sales at an average of $338,808. Year to date, there have been a total of 81 homes sales with an average sales price of $325,850. There were 94 home sales through the first 10 months of 2008 with an average sales price of $332,555.

While homes sales are down in terms of number of sales, these Bainbridge home statistics show that the average sales price is fairly close to what is was last year. A possible sign of the bottom of the market. The good news is that the Bainbridge luxury home market, homes that sell for over $500,000, is about in line with last years figures. This is significant because many surrounding areas, including Solon, have seen a drastic decrease in luxury home sales.

There are currently 21 homes under contract, making it a possibility that we will have as many sales in 2009 as we had in 2008. The average sales price will also be close to what it was last year.

What does this all mean? To begin, it may mean that things won't get worse and perhaps 2009 will be the bottom in terms of Bainbridge real estate values. This could be the sign many buyers have been waiting for as the economy slowly improves and their decision to buy will be made easier knowing homes prices are no longer depreciating.

There are still a lot of homes on the market in Bainbridge, especially in the luxury home market, and it should continue to be a buyers market here for quite a while.

Is it time to break out the champagne for Home Sellers ?

Today's Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that home sales for May 2009 are generally lower than for May 2008, with Cuyahoga, Lorain, and Lake Counties showing a 7 to 9 % drop for the year to year comparison. The State of Ohio is showing an 18% decline.

Geauga County is the exception, posting a 15% increase over May 2008. Jonathan Hall, President of the Ohio Association of Realtors stated: "With favorable pricing, attractive interest rates and sellers more realistic in their expectations, the market is poised for a rebound due to the ideal conditions that exist."

Reports for Portage County-Aurora and Summit County-Twinsburg are inconclusive due to the merger of the data services of the two multiple listing services. These figures do include the Chagrin Valley areas of Chagrin Falls, Solon, Bainbridge Township, Auburn, South Russell, and Chesterland.

BAINBRIDGE OHIO MARKETING REPORT - FIRST QUARTER 2009

The first quarter has been rather slow in terms of overall sales in the Bainbridge real estate market.

Specifically, only 9 homes have officially sold in 2009 compared to 18 during the first quarter of 2008. Here is a comparison between 2009 and 2008:

A COMPARISON OF FIRST QUARTER HOMES SALES - BAINBRIDGE OHIO 2009 VS. 2008

	Ave. Sale Price	Ave. Price Sq./Ft	Ave. Market Time
2009 - 9 sold	$305,333	$86.98	124
2008 - 18 sold	$331,988	$110.97	163

SUMMARY

First quarter sales are typically the direct result of buyer activity during the late fall and early winter months. Overall, this period was slow area wide. However, there are 13 homes currently under contract in Bainbridge. Of these 13 homes, 4 would be considered luxury homes, as they are priced over $500,000. This is a good sign of recent activity.

In addition, 26 homes have gone on the market over the last 3 weeks. This may be a sign that sellers are no longer afraid of unfavorable market conditions and have confidence that the spring market will bring buyers.

Conversely, home buyers will have additional homes to choose from, many which are priced very competitively. It is a fantastic time to be a buyer in this market.

MONTHLY REAL ESTATE MARKETING REPORT

The Bainbridge real estate market has gotten off to a slow start here in 2009 in terms of actually sales, but has picked up steam over the last 30 days or so.

Specifically, only 3 homes have officially sold in 2009 compared to 13 sales through the first 60 days of 2008. This means that the fall of 2007 was much more active than the fall of 2008. A major factor for this significant drop in sales is the economy.

However, over the last 60 days, 9 homes have gone under contract. This is a good indication of current buyer activity. This is a sign that there are serious buyers in the Bainbridge.

WHAT'S NEXT?

Right now, the inventory of homes is stale as very few new homes have come onto the market during the winter months. Buyers have been buying the lower priced bank owned homes. Overall, the serious buyers have seen everything in their price range and have not been overwhelmed enough by any of them to make a serious buying decision. These buyers typically have defined exactly what they want and are just waiting for the right home to come on the market. They are also watching to see if the price of a current listing decreases enough for the home to become more appealing.

The spring market is just around the corner and we anticipate a lot of homes coming onto the market in the next 60 days. Activity should really pick up from April -July as many buyers with school aged children will want to be settled into their new home for the start of the school year in August.
