home for sale: Home not selling? Maybe it's NOT dog friendly. - 07/05/08 09:50 AM
Over the years I've found it amusing to learn what "objects" people buy homes "around". For instance, sometimes they have or want-to-have a big TV, so they'll look for a suitable wall and ample space for the sofa or chairs that seem to go with TV viewing.
Others might have … (4 comments)

home for sale: Don't let Fluffy and Fido spend your home's equity. - 09/13/07 09:49 PM
Over half the U.S. households own one or more pets. We love them. They're a true, faithful and loyal member of the family. We pick up after them just as we do the human children
.... and they can make our homes hard to sell.
They scratch or chew woodwork, doors and sometimes walls. They sometimes have … (6 comments)

home for sale: Muirfield Village - the city that Jack built. - 08/25/07 09:39 PM
I confess! Muirfield Village is one of my favorite communities. First and foremost is that it is a controlled community - no worry about a big box store or yet another pharmacy going in on the corner. Plus, the deed restrictions are pretty strict on what can and cannot be done. … (6 comments)

home for sale: Stratford Woods, Delaware County Ohio, photo tour - 06/30/07 05:30 PM
Some central Ohio neighborhoods have been built in flat soybean fields. Then there are other neighborhoods that have taken advantage of the rolling terrain and wooded ravines. Many of those attractive areas are more expensive homes, out of the reach of many homeowners. Stratfords Woods offers an alternative for those wanting … (0 comments)

home for sale: Watch your backside! - 06/19/07 04:38 PM
Southern Delaware County is the fastest growing portion of any area in Ohio and one of the top 15 in the Nation. While growth can be good - bringing new jobs and assisting the economy - it can also have its painful side.
Such is the case with the southeast quadrant of … (0 comments)

Today in the mail, I received a "Just Listed" card for a home in a nearby subdivision. I had been on this street recently and had not noticed any new listings ... especially by the agent who did the mailing.
Wanting to stay abreast of all the nearby listings, I checked … (18 comments)

home for sale: Check for predators near the home you want to buy. - 06/10/07 08:26 PM
This is a hard article to write, as I don't want it to appear in certain Google searches. As the saying goes, the "names have been changed to protect the innocent". In this case, however, some of the words have been "disguised" so they're not so searchable. So, use your imagination to … (14 comments)

home for sale: When is a wine cellar not a wine cellar? - 05/29/07 08:46 PM
One of the homes I put in contract over the weekend was touted as having a wine cellar in the finished basement. My buyers aren't really into wine but this novelty seemed to hold interest to them as being something "different".
The listing agent had taken a photo of the room … (18 comments)

home for sale: A good house gone bad! - 05/10/07 01:20 AM
Why do people buy a home - put a lot of money in their investment - and then don't care for their investment?
I've been showing homes this week to a couple different buyers. With one of those buyers we've viewed the GOOD and the BAD. With the other buyer I … (16 comments)

Dear Mr & Mrs Seller:
You decided to sell your home - most likely your largest financial investment. You want to sell it at the highest price the market will bear, in the shortest amount of time. Nearly every seller does or wants the same thing.
When you selected a broker … (57 comments)

home for sale: "I need to sell at $205,000 ... and not a penny less!!" - 04/25/07 11:17 AM
Some sellers are just so-o-o determined to sell their home at a particular price. They have a price in their mind and they just don't want to stray from that price - no matter what buyers are telling them by giving them NO OFFERS! I previously wrote about the futility of … (8 comments)

home for sale: Powell & Lewis Center Condo Sales for 1st Qtr 2007 - 04/14/07 08:43 PM
Southern Delaware County has LOTS of condos in all price ranges and styles. Their first quarter 2007 sales results have similar results to the single family homes sales statistics. Agents and sellers would like the numbers to be a little more positive, but it's still a buyer's market. The new predatory … (0 comments)

home for sale: Home Sellers - Plan ahead for a faster sale. - 04/08/07 09:20 AM
It's that time of year when sellers are calling to chat about putting their home on the market to have it sell during the summer. They want to know what they need to do now to get it ready.
