avon lake realtor: Avon Lake Homes / Avon Lake Real Estate- Lakefront market is up. - 02/20/09 02:40 PM
 
If you have been driving down Lake Road recently you may have noticed some SOLD signs. Lake front property sales are picking up in the last 2 months in Avon Lake and other lake road communities of Bay Village and Rocky River.  The pick up can be credited to decrease in home prices paired with positive mortgage packages available.  There are some great values out there.  Will they last? That one I can not answer but we can easily anticipate one of two things.  The seller can take their home off the market as a result of no offers over extensive period of time. Or … (0 comments)

Lorain- Plans for a commuter rail line from Vermilion to Cleveland on existing freight tracks chugged forward Thursday after a citizens' group agreed to join forces with Lorain County officials to raise money for a feasibility study.

The new Avon Lake pool is looking very promising.

avon lake realtor: Avon Lake Homes: Fireplace safety - 12/25/08 02:51 PM
Thought I share some local tips I have learned as my fireplace was inspected last week.
Have your chimney inspected by a qualified professional every year and cleaned if needed. Use a metal screen or door in front of fireplaces and wood burning stoves to keep sparks and ashes from contacting the floor or furniture. Keep fires small. Ash buildup in the chimney can ignite with excessive heat caused by larger fires. Open a window 1"-2" when burning a fireplace. Good ventilation can provide adequate outside air for combustion and will minimize backventing. Backventing is caused by lack of adequate air that … (0 comments)

avon lake realtor: Selling your Ohio home on your own, Think again. - 12/21/08 02:10 PM
 Buying a home in Avon Lake or surrounding Northeast Ohio can be exciting.  However atttempting to sell your northeast Ohio home on your own can be a risk if not a challenge. I am not one to shot down opportunities/chances one takes but when it comes to selling your won home you need to make good judgment.  There is much more to selling your home than placing an add and planting a "for sale by owner" sign in the front yard.  There is things like disclosures, understanding the closing process, concessions, financing conditions, and so on.  Every time I close a sale I … (0 comments)
