Cleveland Cavailiers and the Cleveland Real Estate Market

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Olsen Ziegler Realty

There is always next year…

That is how we, in Cleveland, feel just about every year when it comes to our sports teams. Now we can tack on the Eastern Division Championship we lost this week-end. Well, I can only hope that our sports teams and the real estate market can find a way back next year! Although there seems to be a slight increase in activity as the summer months are here, the market, as a whole, is still weak and fledgling.

The good news is that our sports teams can always change their staffing by bringing on new players and increase their chances of winning the big one -- sellers can also change their homes through staging, redesign, and renovation and increase their chances of getting a quicker sale at a decent price. The bad news is there are no guarantees, as witnessed in the Cavaliers’ defeat. However, when selling a home in a weak market, condition can change everything, which we have witnessed over and over again.

We, at Olsen Ziegler Realty, pride ourselves on stressing the importance of price and condition. Our sellers don’t have to wait until next year to sell their homes, because we provide all the necessary information and resources to get it sold as soon as possible, even in a weak market. Witness our website and see what we can do for you!

Chris:  We were hoping that we had something close to a guarantee as far as the Cavs were concerned.  Unfortunately, Orlando had "several" guarantees... and they won.  My thought... it probably had something to do with conditioning... mental conditioning.  Hopefully, the next time the Cavs are in the playoffs, they will have learned about being better prepared to "do battle."  Thanks for sharing...

Hi Karen -- You are right, it is battle out there, and some of the more junior players didn't perform, and I do think the mental aspect had something to do with it, not to mention they were much shorter.  And then Orlando got trounced by the Lakers tonight.

By the way... with you being a Cav's fan... I wrote two posts about the Cav's in late May... that you might enjoy reading.  I'd love to see your comments.  Take care...
