The current Real Estate market couldnt possibly affect you....

If you are not aware of real estate market changes in Toledo, Ohio or the entire country for that matter then you must be living in a bubble with no outside communication. Most people I talk to ask me "How is the market" with a pained look on their faces. And my typical just in passing answer is "it is a buyers market,, great time to buy not to sell. Bob and I are working with as many buyers as possible". This is the time of year that I typically talk to a lot of people who are thinking of listing their homes for sale. I am amazed at how many just don't understand how this market is affecting them and the value of their homes. Say for example their home should in an average market be worth $200,000. And the homes in their neighborhood sell for about $200,000. All is well in Pleasantville. However, in the last 6 months three homes in Pleasantville sold for $185,000. These individuals were ..(read more)
