Ohio Real Estate Market on Feb.2, 2011

Buyers Have Lots of Questions – Bring Them On!


We have had a definite increase on calls from buyers this year wanting to know about our services and fees.

The FSBO (for sale by owner) workshops are also an indication that sellers are of a new mindset, a moving forward attitude that this is the market- period! Sellers are adjusting to the market values and seemed to have stopped waiting for everything to go back up to what it was three years ago. That’s just not going to happen!

It does appear the market has bottomed out is slowly coming back, and that’s a GOOD thing, but will remain slow until next year when it will probably show a small price increase.

Sellers are also working on making their properties more attractive to potential buyers making those small repairs and staging so the property looks it’s best to potential buyers.

They know there is a ton of competition out there.

Buyers are savvier than they were and are shopping very carefully.

They are also shopping for lenders and title/escrow services. We have never had so many calls from buyers in the past. Many of them have been sent to us by sellers.

Talking to buyers and sellers and keeping their life as simple as possible is where we shine.

Give us a call, we love talking to buyers and sellers. We make the time for you!
