shaker heights homes: State of the Real Estate Market: Cleveland's eastern suburbs, January 2009, - 01/07/09 08:04 AM
The current real estate market is favoring buyers in a most pronounced, lopsidedly beneficial way.  Prices are back down to pre-internet boom, pre-technology bubble levels... nearly those of 1994 to 1998.  Interest rates are near the lowest levels since World War II and the start of the Baby Boom.  More homes today in the Cleveland area are sold by banks and HUD than are sold by private owners.  Credit is still readily available to those with clean credit histories and steady employment, thanks in part to broader FHA financing.
What I see in the market today are the most serious sellers … (0 comments)

shaker heights homes: The Housing Crisis is in fact a Wall Street Crisis: Michael Lewis's article "The End" featured in Conde-Nast Portfolio - 11/28/08 04:57 PM
This is an incredibly insightful article, from Michael Lewis, the author of Liar's Poker and The New New Thing, and other great books about the world we currently know.
 
http://www.portfolio.com/news-markets/national-news/portfolio/2008/11/11/The-End-of-Wall-Streets-Boom
This is so telling... Michael Lewis is such a great writer. I've known for years that we weren't facing a housing bubble, we were awaiting a Wall Street implosion! The perfect storm in real estate had come and passed by 9/11: people sold their tech stocks and had money to invest; interest rates dropped and people refinanced; and then, realizing they could afford more, people bought up. The natural progression in … (0 comments)

shaker heights homes: Mayor Michael Bloomberg makes a great point on business openness - 11/07/08 08:35 AM
Here is a quote from New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, in Business Week Magazine (August 25, 2008):
"Office layout reflects an organization's culture, but more and more, I think it will reflect the state of our economy.  Are we going to open our doors to the best talents and ideas in a continual push for innovation?  Or are we going to close our doors and rely on the 'That's the way it's always been done' approach?  The global marketplace is moving so fast that in five years, those who aren't pushing for openness are going to be increasingly pushed aside."

shaker heights homes: First Time Homebuyers Tax Credit - 10/30/08 01:11 PM
Here is a very informative document from the National Association of Realtors regarding the First Time Homebuyers $7,500 Tax Credit.  You can visit the NAR website at http://www.realtor.org/gapublic.nsf/files/hbtaxcreditqa2008.pdf/$FILE/hbtaxcreditqa2008.pdf  
 
First time homebuyers have never had it so good!  Interest rates remain historically very low, loans are plentiful for buyers with good credit and stable income, and home prices are lower now on average than we've seen in 6 or 7 years.  Looking back in a few years, those buyers who took advantage of this credit and bought in this market are going to be very pleased they did!

shaker heights homes: Real estate sales is my ministry - 10/10/08 02:15 PM
I don't know about you, but sometimes when I am working with a buyer or a seller client, and I am advising them on their current situation, I feel ministerial.  And I receive from my career in real estate a satisfaction in the work that I do that goes well beyond the income I earn.
The past two weeks, I have been assisting a family in Shaker Heights making a move.  They are interested in purchasing one of my listings in order to combine three generations of a family.  The grandparents are getting up there in years, with difficulty with stairs … (3 comments)

shaker heights homes: What I would do to solve our credit crunch if I controlled $700 Billion! - 10/10/08 01:54 PM
I just posted this on the Wall Street Journal's blog:
 
http://blogs.wsj.com/deals/2008/10/10/jamie-dimon-lloyd-blankfein-steve-schwarzman-discuss-salvation-at-the-nyse/#comment-118849
 
As a real estate agent, and economics novice, if I were to do something creative to solve this crisis, and since we’ve already budgeted $700B: taxpayers could get a major check from the government to pay off their individual mortgages and to stimulate the economy, with strings attached. If a taxpayer earned under $50,000, they receive $250,000 to pay off any mortgage, credit card debts, school loans–the remainder if any can be spent as they see fit. They will agree to not be allowed any mortgage or HELOC … (1 comments)

shaker heights homes: A fresh approach to retirement living! - 08/15/08 12:31 AM
The need for retirement housing choices in cities like Cleveland Heights, Shaker Heights, University Heights and Beachwood is just growing more and more each month... and yet, many of our elderly citizens lack the choice to live in the very communities which they know and love.  Here is a possible solution:
Convert some of these larger homes into a communal living environment for a maximum of 8 seniors. Charge the residents an inclusive monthly fee which covers all of there housing expenses--utilities, phone, cable, food and entertainment. No nursing or medical services are provided... when medical needs arise, this is no … (0 comments)
