Perrysburg, OH named a Top 10 City for Raising a Family

Chad Boyers (The Danberry Co.) — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 21:59:10 -0500

It probably isn't a real shock to those of us that call Perrysburg, OH our home, but it has been named as a top 10 city for raising a family in the August issue of Family Circle magazine. And this is following the naming of Perrysburg, OH as a top 5 city to live in Ohio by Ohio magazine. So why did Perrysburg, OH make the list? There are many reasons, and I will try to fill you in on some of them.

First, I'd like to point out what some of the criteria was for choosing the award winners. The initial group of 1,700 cities had to have a population between 15,000 and 150,000 residents. Also of importance were the school system, parks & recreation, places of worship, and history. Affordable housing also played a role in the decision. You can get a really nice house here for around $500,000. Don't believe me? Just do a search!

Regarding the school system, Perrysburg is rated at the highest level (excellent with distinction) by the state of Ohio. On a personal note, my wife and I have found our son's teachers and administrators to be exceptional.

Perrysburg boasts many parks and recreational areas. There are 12 municipal parks in Perrysburg. The recreational division offers summer programs and camps for children of all ages. This year there were 26 camps offered, ranging from sports camps to yo-yo, sports writing, and science camps. Also, there were 39 other recreational programs offered, from tee ball to dodgeball to one called Games 'N Giggles (my boys loved all 3 of them, by the way). Municipal Park has a wonderful pool that is used for open swims as well as water aerobic, diving, and swimming lessons.

Fort Meigs is the largest wooden-walled fort in North America. Fort Meigs, established by William Henry Harrison in 1813, was an important part of the British defeat in the War of 1812. It continues to serve as an educational establishment to students and adults from all areas.

Perrysburg has done a great job of blending its history with the current times. There is a historic district in which many homes are on the national registry of historic homes. There is a wonderful downtown area with a blend of stores, restaurants, and offices. There are many retail businesses building stores in Perrysburg and Perrysburg Township.

Levis Commons is an open air, multi purpose planned development that includes rental and owner occupied housing, retail stores, office space, a movie theater, restaurants, and a Hilton hotel. It is a beautiful space, and has added to the attraction of Perrysburg. It is located next to the world headquarters for Owens-Illinois, the world's largest manufacturer of glass containers in the world.

Green energy is certainly a growing industry right now, and Perrysburg Township houses the largest of the solar panel manufacturing companies. First Solar is located in Perrysburg Township and has brought hundreds of great paying jobs to the local area and has helped stabilize the economy. They are continuing to expand their manufacturing facility as well as their research and development space. (If it seems like I'm bragging a little bit, I am; my wife works for them!)

Way Library has been recognized nationally as a top library and has received numerous awards. It recently ranked 10th out of 1,773 libraries in its category (10,000-24,000 population). Not only does it have a large selection of books & magazines, it also has meeting rooms, a historical room, which contains a good deal of local history, plenty of computers, and a nice play area for the children. There are always clubs and groups meeting there.

As you can see, there are many reasons why Perrysburg is a top 10 city to raise a family. I think that it's just a plain old good city to live in, whether or not you're married and whether or not you have children. Please contact me anytime, I'd love to give you a personal tour!

Perrysburg OH 2009 2nd Quarter Market Report

Chad Boyers (The Danberry Co.) — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 16:00:03 -0500

Here are the numbers for the second quarter of 2009 for Perrysburg (including township):

Here's a side by side comparison:

2009 2008 Difference

Units Listed 197 199 -2 (-1%)

Units Sold 84 125 -41 (-32.8%)

Inventory Accumulation 4.04 1.78 +2.26 (+127%)

Average Sold Price $193,820 $207,184 -$13,364 (-6.5%)

Median Sold Price $176,250 $184,000 -$7,750 (-4.2%)

Average DOM 130 106 +24 (+22.6%)

What do the numbers mean? Overall, it is good news for buyers, not so good news for sellers. There is a larger inventory of homes for sale versus 2008 and they are selling, on average, for less than in 2008. Also, it is taking longer, on average, for homes to sell.

This means that if you are a seller, you need to be serious about your asking price as well as the condition of your home. Are you competitively priced? Is your home in top notch condition, or does it need some sprucing up and updating?

If you are a buyer, know that you should be able to get a great home at a very reasonable price. This doesn't mean that you can get any home you want at half of the listed price, as homes in great condition that are priced correctly are still selling quickly. An example is that my neighbor's home across the street had an accepted offer in one week! Why was this? It was because it was competitively priced and was in great, updated condition.

Sylvania OH 2009 2nd Quarter Market Report

Chad Boyers (The Danberry Co.) — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 15:37:10 -0500

Here are the numbers for the second quarter of 2009 for Sylvania (including the township):

Here's a side by side comparison of 2009 vs. 2008:

2009 2008 Difference

Units Listed 183 227 -44 (-19.4%)

Units Sold 96 98 -2 (-2.04%)

Inventory Accumulation 2.72 3.95 -1.23 (-31.1%)

Average Sold Price $185,494 $195,110 -$9,616 (-4.9%)

Median Sold Price $165,000 $179,850 -$14,850 (-8.3%)

Average DOM 119 132 -13 (-9.8%)

As you can see, the results are mixed, although mostly positive. With less units listed and the same number sold, that means less overall competition and a lower inventory amount. Houses have been selling, on average, almost 10% quicker versus last year. The negative is that prices have been down versus 2008, although when compared with other areas (locally and nationally), the price drop isn't very significant at all.

Toledo OH 2009 2nd Quarter Market Report

Chad Boyers (The Danberry Co.) — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 15:19:02 -0500

Well, the first half of 2009 is over! Here are the stats for the second quarter of this year for single family homes in Toledo, Ohio:

Here are how the numbers compare:

2009 2008 Difference

Units listed 1,771 2,132 -361 (-16.9%)

Units Sold 782 783 -1

Inventory Accumulation 3.79 5.17 -1.38 (-26.7%)

Average Sold Price $69,318 $80,310 -$10,992 (-13.7%)

Median Sold Price $52,700 $67,000 -$14,300 (-21.3%)

Average DOM 99 97 +2 (+2.1%)

So, what does this all mean? Basically, it's a mixed bag. With regards to the number of units listed being down and the units sold staying even, that means that there are fewer homes on the market versus last year at this time (that's a good thing for sellers). The downside is that the homes have been selling at loewr prices versus last year. This means that if you are selling your home, you may have a little less competition (depending on the neighborhood), but expect to sell it for a little less than you might think it will sell for. Buyers still have a lot of choices right now, and the 2 big factors for them are price and condition of the property.

Contact me today to receive a free analysis of your home's value!

Remember, the first time home buyer's tax credit goes away on December 1, the time to make an offer is TODAY!

Perrysburg OH 2009 1st Quarter Market Report

Chad Boyers (The Danberry Co.) — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 19:25:21 -0500

Here are the numbers for Sylvania, OH for the first quarter of 2009, as well as stats from the first quarter of 2008 for comparison. What you will be able to see and compare are the number of homes that were listed and sold, the average and median prices, and average time on market. You will also see a spot that says "Inventory Accum.". This is essentially an estimate of how long it will take to sell all of the currently listed homes in terms of months. You can see how this is calculated right above the third blue bar. By the way, these charts are only for single family residential homes, not condos, commercial, or multiple family properties.

Here are what the numbers say...

Average List Price:$262,029 vs $235,183 (+11.4%)

Average Sold Price:$168,792 vs $225,361 (-25.1%)

Median List Price:$214,900 vs $199,925 (+7.5%)

Median Sold Price: $159,450 vs $201,500 (-20.9%)

Units Listed:160 vs 191 (-31)

Units Sold:80 vs 77 (+3)

Average Days On Market (DOM):108 vs 112 (-4)

Inventory Accumulation: 3.0 mo. vs 4.44 mo. (-1.44)

These results are a little bit difficult to interpret. The average & median list price has gone up, which usually means the market is improving, but the average & median sales prices are down significantly, which typically means the market is declining. There have been slighly more homes sold and also fewer listed, which is indicating a stabilization in inventory. This is supported by the average DOM and inventory accumulation as well. I would say that overall, buyers have been able to negotiate better deals this year versus last year, but that possibly prices are beginning to stabilize in this area. Time will tell, and this is still a great time to get a deal on a home.

Sylvania OH 20009 1st Quarter Market Report

Chad Boyers (The Danberry Co.) — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 17:07:05 -0500

Here are what the numbers say...

Average List Price:$209,610 vs $191,653 (+9.4%)

Average Sold Price:$184,329 vs $207,436 (-11.1%)

Median List Price:$187,200 vs $179,900 (+4%)

Median Sold Price: $156,000 vs $196,200 (-20.5%)

Units Listed:171 vs 197 (-26)

Units Sold:55 vs 64 (-9)

Average Days On Market (DOM):114 vs 126 (-12)

Inventory Accumulation: 6.33 mo. vs 6.23 mo. (+0.01)

These results are a little bit difficult to interpret. The average & median list price has gone up, which usually means the market is improving, but the average & median sales prices are down, which typically means the market is declining. There have been fewer homes sold, but also fewer listed, which is keeping inventory relatively stable, as shown by the average DOM and inventory accumulation. I would say that overall, buyers have been able to negotiate better deals this year versus last year, but that possibly prices are beginning to stabilize in this area. Time will tell, and this is still a great time to get a deal on a home.

Toledo OH 2009 1st Quarter Market Report

Chad Boyers (The Danberry Co.) — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 16:48:01 -0500

So here are the numbers for Toledo, OH for the first quarter of 2009. I'm also including stats from the first quarter of 2008 for comparison. The charts include all homes with a Toledo mailing address, so they will include homes that are in multiple school districts (Toledo, Washington Local, Sylvania, etc.). What you will be able to see and compare are the number of homes that were listed and sold, the average and median prices, and average time on market. You will also see a spot that says "Inventory Accum.". This is essentially an estimate of how long it will take to sell all of the currently listed homes in terms of months. You can see how this is calculated right above the third blue bar. By the way, these charts are only for single family residential homes, not condos, commercial, or multiple family properties.

Here are what the numbers say...

Average List Price:$82,362 vs $87,533 (-6%)

Average Sold Price:$49,698 vs $77,478 (-35.9%)

Median List Price:$69,900 vs $74,900 (-6.7%)

Median Sold Price: $28,669 vs $59,500 (-51.8%)

Units Listed:1625 vs 2054 (-429)

Units Sold:628 vs 565 (+63)

Average Days On Market (DOM):95 vs 87 (+8)

Inventory Accumulation: 4.76 mo. vs 7.91 mo. (-3.15)

These are definitely mixed results. The positives are that homes are selling slightly faster, and that the inventory is going down, leading to a more balanced market. That being said, the list and sales prices are down. The biggest reason for this is that the foreclosure and short sale rates have been rising sharply.

This is generally good news for buyers, in that you can likely get a very good deal on a home right now. For sellers, it depends on your situation. If you are "moving up" into a larger home, this can be good news also, since while you may lose money on your sale, you will likely save a much larger amount when you purchase.

If you have questions about these charts or about another area in Northwest Ohio, please feel free to contact me anytime.

First Time Homebuyers Tax Credit

Chad Boyers (The Danberry Co.) — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 23:08:03 -0600

Here is some important news for those of you that are, or know, a potential first time home buyer. As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act , first time home buyers will be able to receive a tax credit equal to 10% of the purchase price of a home, with a limit of $8,000. What are all of the details, you ask? Let me try to make it easy to understand:

1. Amount of the credit: The lesser of 10% of the purchase price or $8,000.

2. Eligible Properties: Any single family residence (including condos and townhouses) that will be used as a principal residence. In other words, this isn't for investors, you must live in the home.

3. Refundable? Yes: Reduces (or can eliminate) income tax liability for the year of purchase. Any unused amount of tax credit refunded to purchaser. In other words, if you ended up owing taxes of $3,000, you would be credited the $3,000 plus get an additional $5,000 refund. Always check with your tax advisor regarding tax implications of any home purchase.

4. First time home buyer only? Yes: Purchaser (and purchaser's spouse) may not have owned a principle residence in the previous 3 years to the purchase.

5. Revenue Bond Financing? Yes: Purchasers who use revenue bond financing (such as through Ohio Housing Finance Agency) can use the credit.

6. Does it need to be repayed? NO! (but pay attention to #7): No repayment for purchases between January 1 and November 30, 2009. I believe that the purchase must be closed/completed by the end of November, not just have a contract in place.

7. Is there a recapture clause? YES: If the home is sold within 3 years of its purchase, the entire amount of the credit will be recaptured (sent back to the government) upon its sale. Please make sure that you will be in your home for at least 3 years!

Hopefully this helps to clear up any confusion that you or someone you know may have regarding this credit. As always, feel free to contact me any time with questions or comments, or if you'd just like to get out and look at some homes.

Perrysburg, OH - One of Ohio's Best Hometowns!

Chad Boyers (The Danberry Co.) — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 23:30:41 -0600

Nobody would have had to convince me that Perrysburg is a great town and a great place to live. I've lived here for a year and a half and have thoroughly enjoyed it. My wife works in Perrysburg, and I've had the pleasure of helping folks buy & sell their homes in Perrysburg. It is nice to be able to brag once in a while about where you live, and although we aren't in the middle of a mountain range or on the ocean's coast, Perrysburg (and the Toledo area in general) is a great place to work, live, and raise a family.We have historical Fort Meigs, a school system that consistently gets Ohio's top rating, Owens-Illinois world headquarters, First Solar production facility, and many other great features and attractions.

Ohio Magazine recently awarded Perrysburg with the title "Ohio's Best Hometown 2009". It was one of 5 cities selected in Ohio. One of the reasons that Perrysburg was selected is because of it's wonderful blend of historical and modern elements. Read the magazine article here.

If you have any comments (hopefully positive) about Perrysburg or other local communities, I'd love to hear from you! Just post your comment below.

Think ahead before making upgrades to your home

Chad Boyers (The Danberry Co.) — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 16:15:08 -0600

If you are looking to make improvements and updates to your home, make sure you go to www.energystar.gov first to check on energy efficiency ratings, as well as possible tax deductions and rebates that might be available to you. The products range from insulation to HVAC & AC systems to windows, doors, and more. You can potentially save money by lowering your utility bills as well as receiving tax credits on qualifying products. Here's a direct link to the federal tax credit list. I've been mulling over reccomendations made to me through our energy audit report, and the website has had valuable information for me.

2009: Part Deux

Chad Boyers (The Danberry Co.) — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 20:55:53 -0600

5 Things to do sooner than later:

1. De-clutter: Stop talking about it and start doing it! Get rid of clothes that you haven't worn since 2007. Get rid of those 5 boxes of who-knows-what that are still in your storage room or garage from when you moved into your house. Shred old statements, bills, and receipts that you no longer need.

2. Organize: Create new files for your 2009 tax-related papers and receipts. These could include medical bills, charitable contributions, and home improvements. Try to organize your schedule so that your work & personal life can be balanced (see #4).

3. Review: Look at and review your insurance policies - homeowners/renters, auto, life, disability, etc. Make sure that the coverage is the best fit for your current situation and life stage. If you've gotten married or had children since you originally took out the policy, chances are it needs to be revised and updated. If you've changed jobs, you're needs may be different as well. If you are able, consider raising your deductible in order to lower your premiums.

4. Reflect: Look back at 2008. What was your schedule like? Take an open, honest look at your schedule and responsibilities. Make sure that you are taking the time you need to stay healthy and feel good. If it's difficult to find time to work out or spend time with family & friends, write it into your schedule. It will make your life that much more enjoyable, for you and those around you!

5. Check your gift cards: Many gift cards don't expire, but you don't want to be stuck with one that does. Check the expiration and terms of the card to make sure that you can use it when you want to. Also, with some retailers going out of business, you may need to spend the money now so that you don't lose out later. What a good excuse to go shopping!

Have a great, healthy, and prosperous 2009!

What's your New Year's Resolution?

Chad Boyers (The Danberry Co.) — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 16:50:39 -0600

Another year gone, another year's worth of resolution's not followed through on...is that what you've been thinking the past couple of days? Maybe you need to think of them less as resolutions and more as goals. I think that I tend to focus at least a little better on completing goals than resolutions (why, I'm not quite sure). Try to think of 2 or 3 areas of your life that you'd like to improve, and work on goals that are relevant to those life areas. Areas could include work, family, relational, physical, emotional, spiritual, and so on. Work related goals could be to have a few more sales or help improve processes. Family goals could include eating dinner together a certain number of nights per week or having a family night once a week.

Once some potential goals are in place, try to prioritize them and focus on the top few. Otherwise, you could feel overwhelmed by having so many to attain. Put your goals in writing and assign a time frame to each of them. Eating dinner as a family, for example, might mean a gradual increase from twice a week at first to 5 times a week in 6 months (or whatever time frame you determine). Keep the goals in sight so that you are regularly reminded of them, and find someone to whom you can be accountable. If your goals seem too difficult (or too easy), talk to your accountability partner and see if modification is necessary. Once goals are met, celebrate! Go out with your family or co-workers and enjoy your accomplishments!

Once some of the goals are met, you may want to re-evaluate your circumstances and see if there are new goals with which to challenge yourself. My guess is that if you're like me, there will always be areas of improvement in your life.

Make 2009 the best year yet!

A positive news piece about Toledo?

Chad Boyers (The Danberry Co.) — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 23:43:05 -0600

Yes, that's right, ABC News did a nice story about Toledo! It talks about our region turning from the Glass City to unemployed auto worker central to Solar Valley. Kind of has a nice ring to it, don't you think? If only we could become as large as Silicon Valley...

Here's the link to the story, I hope it gives you a little more hope in our area's future.

Energy Audits - What are they?

Chad Boyers (The Danberry Co.) — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 15:59:33 -0600

With more and more people becoming concerned about our environment and the impact of our energy use on it (and on our wallets), there is a relatively new service being offered to consumers. It is called an energy audit. Basically, what an energy audit does is shows you how energy efficient your house is and what improvements can be made to make it more efficient. This involves a team of professionals coming to your home and testing various aspects, such as air leakage and furnace efficiency. They then compile all of the data that is collected and provide various options for making your home more energy efficient, environmentally friendly, and easier on your wallet.

I am excited that my home will be having an energy audit next week as part of a story that NBC 24 is doing. Professional from The Green Home Pros will be performing the audit. When I have more information rearding the airing of that story, as well as what recommendations were made to me, I will certainly make sure to update this entry.

Please let me know if there are any topics relating to energy and "green" homes that you would like to hear more about. It is a topic that is going to be talked about a lot in the coming months and years.

Have you voted today?

Chad Boyers (The Danberry Co.) — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 14:20:56 -0600

Well, I made it to the polls and it wasn't too bad. About 20 minutes from start to finish, and my voice was heard. My 2 boys were with me, and they behaved quite nicely. It was nice to be able to expose them to our democratic system at such young ages (6 & 4). They actually voted at their schools yesterday to get a small understanding of what's going on as well. Pretty cool stuff!

I hope that you have either cast your vote or are planning on doing so. This is one of the biggest presidential elections in recent history, please make sure that you are a part of it! May God truly bless America!

So...where do I begin?

Chad Boyers (The Danberry Co.) — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 13:44:40 -0500

Well, I tried this whole blogging thing a year ago and didn't make the most of it, so here's to hoping the second time is a charm! I'm hoping that as time goes on, I will be able to provide some useful information relating to real estate in the Toledo, OH area, as well as some other general posts related to Toledo and northwest Ohio. Who knows, maybe I'll even put some interesting personal and family stories on here from time to time!

Another hope that I have for this blog is that you will want to post comments on what I've written, as well as ask questions and even make suggestions for future posts. I don't want this to just be a place for you to come and get some information, but a place for you to communicate and grow with me and others in our area. Northwest Ohio is a great place, I think that people around the country and world need to know more about us!

I think that this is the beginning of a great blogging experience for all of us. Help me make it the best that it can be!

Go Buckeyes!
