The floor plan of 425 Kenbrook Drive in Colonial Hills? The floor plan was called "The Meriden" according to George Campbell's Colonial Hills History.

Designing a kitchen backsplash - 11:23 AM
 
Debbie on designing a kitchen backsplash!  
Debbie does more than floors!   Debbie Gartner president and owner of Floor Coverings International in Westchester NY and Stamford CT, is my favorite for information on floors.  I've Re-Blogged floor advice from Debbie.  I am not sure I have done tile floor advice from Debbie yet.  I will have to look for something. 
Re-Blogged for Central Ohio consumers... hint, hint... not looking for "great post thanks for sharing" or "we learn so much on ActiveRain"  comments from other ActiveRain members.  Comment on the original, thanking Debbie for the info if you are … (3 comments)

Did Worthington's ghost "Irwin" run a business out of town? - 08:02 PM
Did Worthington's ghost Irwin run a Fine Lines stationary store out of town?
 

I just noticed the Fine Lines store at 657 High St. in Worthington is gone.  The sign in the window tells you they've moved to Uptown Westerville and joined forces with another similar store.  Recession?  Perhaps it was Irwin.  Do you know the story of the haunting of the stationery store?
The story goes the building on High Street just north of the Worthington Inn was built in 1890 as a general store.
The Worthington Public Library site says:
" At the time the store was … (4 comments)

Does the Lender know you're doing an Office Exclusive on that REO? - 10:54 AM
Does the Lender know you're doing an Office Exclusive on that REO? One reason that I use Google Alerts is to see what is coming on the market and what other agents are doing to advertise their listings.  Keep a sharp eye on that competition!  So while perusing the area alerts I happen to see a property at a very, very good price.  Must be an REO?  Why haven't I noticed it before?Check in the MLS and there is nothing for sale in that town for that price, hmmmm?  You know what I'm thinking here right?  Yep, it's an office X … (17 comments)

Bloomingdale Homes - What's the market like in September 2010? - 03:49 PM
How to describe this market for Bloomingdale Homes?  Unbelievable!A now retired agent in my office used to say this to encompass every conceivable change or option and still stay positive!  I'm going to loudly reiterate that phrase to update you on recent Bloomingdale Home sales. But really it's been odd and slow.Over the last 3 months, inventory for Bloomingdale Homes was climbed from 8.8 months and ending at 15.7 months.  Added inventory is going to make your home take longer to sell (especially going into the winter months).  More inventory is great for buyers but not welcomed obviously as a seller.  Keeps prices down … (1 comments)

Interesting article
Wells Fargo Home Mortgage agreed Wednesday to pay New Jersey $3.98 million and 900 residents $67 million in loan modifications over claims subsidiaries deceptively marketed adjustable-rate mortgages.
The agreement ends a state investigation into whether some mortgages sold by Wachovia Corp., Golden West and World Savings violated the Consumer Fraud Act.
Those companies, purchased by Wells Fargo in 2008, sold so-called Pick-a-Payment mortgages by touting their low monthly payment options. But the companies failed to warn borrowers … (1 comments)

Long removed from his professional debut, Vazquez will make the second defense of his World Boxing Organization super-bantamweight title against Mexico's Ivan … (0 comments)

Buyers' Despair - There is nothing out there for me to buy. - 06:53 AM
CAN'T FIND A HOME THAT SATISFIES???
When this happens with a home buyer, look at the price range.  The buyers' expectations may exceed the market.
Logically, the process is to first determine affordability factor.  Then, in their qualified price range or "comfort range", we show them homes.  If they do not find what makes them happy, they are clearly "out of the price range".
So, an afternoon in a higher price range may show them that they will not find what they want in their price range.  OR, that they need to adjust their goals and expectations of what they will … (27 comments)
