Who Says The Warren County Real Estate Market Is Bad? Not Us!

Let's start off with REAL ESTATE IS LOCAL!!

That NATIONAL TV show? They're NATIONAL, and they'd rather give you BAD news than GOOD! BAD news about homes half the country away from Warren County! You want GOOD news, go buy Reader's Digest! BAD news sells, the rest is BORING!

The Local TV? The ones that run the teaser at 5 about something that is going to KILL you any second....but won't give you the details until 11?? They DON'T care about your local market or good news either!

The Cincinnati Enquirer and Dayton Daily News? They want to talk about the mass market in Cincinnati and Dayton city itself, and NOT so much about the suburbs of Warren County, Butler County, Clermont County, etc. And again, BAD news carries more weight than GOOD news.

So WHY do we think our local market isn't so BAD as the media would have you believe? Let us count the ways!

#1
CLOSED JULY 15 IN CORWIN
(OUR LISTING AND BUYERS)

#2
CLOSED JULY 21 IN OREGONIA
(OUR LISTING)

#3
CLOSED JULY 22 IN HAMILTON TOWNSHIP
(NEW CONSTRUCTION, OUR BUYERS)

#4
CLOSING JULY 27 IN WEST CHESTER
(OUR LISTING)

#5
UNDER CONTRACT IN CLEARCREEK TOWNSHIP
CLOSING AUGUST 19
(OUR LISTING AND BUYERS)

#6
NEW CONSTRUCTION UNDER CONTRACT IN MASON
CLOSING THIS FALL
(OUR BUYERS)

#7
NEW CONSTRUCTION PATIO HOME UNDER CONTRACT IN LEBANON
CLOSING THIS FALL
(OUR BUYERS)

So, you be the judge? Does this sound like a horrible market? Fact is, people are buying and selling homes every day in our market area! Price them right, market them right, prepare them right, and YOU can also sell your home!

Any questions? Just give The Liz Spear Team of RE/MAX Elite a call!

Serving the Warren County and adjacent area residential real estate needs,

Bill & Liz - I find myself thing this same thing every time I hear real estate related news. It IS local and exactly how do these so called "expects" get qualified to discuss with such authority a topic they likely know little about. Love your take on this....great job!

Real Estate is Local and we all know that - but getting the lovely media folks to stop spreading craziness - welll that isn't going to happen. Excellent way to get the POSITIVE stories out there! Congrats!

Barbara, That's my general frustration. How many of the reporters have sold a home themselves? Have a license in real estate?? Same for those online columnists and other so called experts. Now lets go sell some more houses! :)

AB, So local, and so much of the "news" is totally irrelevant to my market. In the meantime, we'll keep spreading the news and selling homes while others cry about how bad things are! :)

Brenda, The main thing we'd like here is just FASTER! Unless you're in one of the select communities that move fast, it can be a slow process, particularly the more rural properties.

Anita, Thanks! A lot of different things we've been doing have really been culminating in business. We're no longer reliant on just one or two streams for our business, and that's pretty nice. Once we get our WP site fully up the way we want, I think we've got even more opportunity to grow.

Hi Liz & Bill - Former speaker of the House, Tip O'Neil, used to say that all politics is local. So isn't real estate.

Hey Bill and Liz (or Liz and Bill, whoever get's up earlier :)), it doesn't seem like a bad market with all those closings you have lined up! Nice work and thanks for an inspirational read.

Endre, We're doing our best to do our part :) It's been a good summer so far.

Jane, Thanks! It's really been kicking into gear lately :)

Anne, My issue is there are two ways to present any data. Remember the gum commercials with 4 out of 5 dentist recommend.....? The way the media works, they'd report 1 out of 5 dentist recommend NOT chewing gum :)

Joe, Thought this single post might have more impact than several announcements of closings :)

BLiz, I say this all the time. Don't judge whether you should buy or sell based on something you're reading half a continent away.

Tammie, Ohio and Tennessee are a nice safe distance from NY, AZ, NV and CA. Why let news about them effect us?
