Commentary - Based on the figures above, this past year in real estate was better for Chagrin Falls in terms of the number of sales and average sales price than in 2009. It should be noted that many other area suburbs saw a decrease in the number of sales this year, so things actually weren't too bad here.

Also, if you are not familiar with Chagrin Falls real estate, the lower priced homes listed above are condos. Finding a single-family home under $200,000 in Chagrin Falls is typically very difficult as real estate here is among the most expensive ( in terms of price per square foot ) in the entire Cleveland Metropolitan area.

Overall, Chagrin Falls is still deemed as being one of the most highly desirable cities in which to live and work.  With a great town center, excellent rated schools, and wonderful amenities, homes in Chagrin Falls are sought out by those relocating to Cleveland, as well as local area buyers. The homes within walking distance to "The Village", or town square, are usually in high demand during any market.

We anticipate homes sales and average sales price to remain around the same for 2011, although we do foresee increased activity in the Chagrin Falls luxury home market this year.

Hiram House Camp Pumpkin Festival 2010

If you are looking for some fun children's activities this fall, circle Sunday, October 10, 2010 on your calender as that is the date of this year's Hiram House Camp Pumpkin Festival.

There is no better way to enjoy the fall season than by attending this traditional fall festival and in fact, our kids say it is one of their favorite events of the year. Best of all, proceeds benefit the Hiram House Campership Fund, which allows socially and economically deprived children an opportunity to enjoy the experience of camp.

As usual, the festival will run from 10AM-5PM and will be a great activity for kids of all ages and adults as well. Here is a small list of events and activities:

Hay Rides

Candle Dipping

Cookie Decorating

Haunted Maze

Petting Zoo

Kids Craft Corner

Pumpkins for Sale

Great Food and Refreshments

Admission is $4 for adults, $3 for children under 12, and children under 2 are FREE. Some activities do require an additional minimal charge as well.

Parking is located at Orange Schools at 32000 Chagrin Blvd. There will be a FREE shuttle service that will take you to the camp, which is only just minutes away.

As a brief history, Hiram House Camp is Ohio's oldest camp, going back to 1896, and is located on 172 acres of land right off SOM Center Rd. and Hiram Trail ( turns into Harvard Rd. ) Our children have personally attended Hiram House Campand enjoy all the fun things they get to do there, such as: archery, canoeing, crafts, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, climbing the rock wall and swimming.

The children also get to sing camp songs and learn about nature and survival. In fact, my son is convinced he is prepared to compete on "Survivor" thanks to his experience at Hiram House Camp.

One thing that makes Hiram House stand out is the counselors and staff. They are well-trained, incredibly enthusiastic, and are there to make it a great summer for the kids. Some say that the counselors actually have more fun than the kids, if that's possible.

Come attend the Hiram House Camp Pumpkin Festival, check out the wonderful fall scenery and enjoy a fun-filled day that will guarantee to put a smile on your face.
