West Chester & Liberty Township OH Real Estate: Tuesday Open House – May 3, 2011

Click To Search Homes For Sale In West Chester & Liberty TownshipIt’s Tuesday, so this must be the Tuesday Open House.

What is Tuesday Open House?? Well, it’s clearly not an “open house”. Open Houses don’t sell homes… good internet marketing does… but it seemed like a good title for this weekly blog post.

It is my way of throwing the doors open on the RealEstate-Ink.com blog and offering up a few quick articles and facts on real estate for the West Chester, Liberty Township, Beckett Ridge, Mason and Fairfield Township, Ohio areas. It is not intended to be all about homes for sale, but it will be about that some of the time…

This week we are featuring 2 new listings that we have added to our great group of homes for sale in West Chester & Liberty Township.

West Chester OH Real Estate Market Breakdown – April 2011

West Chester Ohio Real Estate Market Breakdown – April 2011   

West Chester Ohio Home Values - What is your homes market value?Which price ranges are in the best shape from a home sellers perspective in West Chester, Ohio and which are not? The best way to measure the general strength of the West Chester, Ohio real estate market and to break down it’s different price ranges is to evaluate the amount of homes for sale in both the total area and also in each different price range.   

SEARCH ALL HOMES FOR SALE IN WEST CHESTER, OHIO   

In the chart below you can see that there is clearly more activity in some price ranges than others and certainly more homes for sale in some of the ranges also. In each of the different price ranges you can see the number of homes for sale, the number of homes that have sold in the last six months and the months supply of homes.    

The number of homes for sale is a pretty straight forward statistic, the number of homes that have sold in the last six months is used to determine the rate that homes are currently selling. The key number in this chart is the months supply of homes for sale.    

A seller’s market would show a month’s supply of less than 5 months, 5-6 months supply of homes for sale is considered a neutral market and anything over 6 months is considered a buyer’s market. The higher the number the stronger the buyer’s market.    

Looking back at the January Real Estate Market Breakdown you can see that in a number of the different price ranges the months supply of homes for sale has greatly increased.  This is caused by two factors: (1.) There are more homes for sale now and (2.) The pace at which homes were selling in this last six month period has slowed considerably.  Clearly we can see that a number of price ranges, as well as the overall market are a buyer’s market. No surprise there, but when listing a home for sale you must understand the level of pricing pressure and competition that you face so that you can employ the correct pricing strategy in selling your home

Please keep in mind that these statistics are for West Chester, Ohio only and should be considered along with the Liberty Township, Ohio real estate market statistics when making pricing decisions and putting your home on the market.  I will update the market numbers for Liberty Township later this week.

West Chester & Liberty Township OH Real Estate: 7 Reasons Why Now Is A Great Time To Buy A Home!

7 Reasons Why Now Is A Great Time To Buy A Home7 Reasons Why Now Is A Great Time To Buy A Home In West Chester, Beckett Ridge, Liberty Township and Mason!

-It’s primetime to buy a home –

Reason #1:  Homes have never been more affordable.  For individual home buyers there are only a few facts that really matter.  Can I afford this home? Is it a good investment? Does it meet my family’s needs?  So it’s a bit surprising that the most important statistic has gone largely unreported: homes have never been more affordable.

Reason #2:  Mortgage rates are at rock bottom and won’t stay there forever. The national average for a 30 year fixed rate mortgage dropped to 4.36% in August 2010 – lower than it’s been in the past half century.  Interest rates for the same time last year averaged 5.19%, representing a difference of $90 in the monthly payment on a $200,000 home with a 10% down payment.

 

Reason #3:  Prices are trending back up.  Every major price index points to a housing market that has hit bottom and is moving in a positive direction.  After 30 months of declining home values, home prices appear to be stabilizing.  In other words, staying on the fence and waiting for prices to drop further is over!

Reason #4:  Seller’s are motivated!  When supply exceeds demand, buyers have the upper hand-and that’s where we are now!  The current supply of homes for sale currently exceeds the number of homes being put under contract by a large ratio.  At the same time, recent market upheaval has given rise to a surplus of foreclosed properties that banks are eager to sell, and an increasing number of listing agents are also negotiating “short sales” with banks to sell their clients properties at a price that’s less than what they owe on their mortgage.

Reason #5:  Lenders are back in the game!  The subprime mortgage crisis brought underwriting standards back into the mortgage origination process.  And while the final quarter of 2009′s financial meltdown led to a sense that financing had dried up, mortgage funds are now available.  If you have a job and can afford the payment, chances are you’ll qualify for a mortgage.

Reason #6:  Ownership costs are dropping below rental costs!  The recent downturn in the housing market resulted in a drop in rental rates, but rents are back on the rise while the cost of homeownership has dropped.

Reason #7:  Home ownership remains at the core of the American Dream!  A recent Fannie Mae study reveals that the majority of Americans still aspire to own a home - and a for good reason.  Owning a home is critical to financial stability and wealth building.  A home serves as a forced savings account and provides a solid asset, as well as a place to live.

West Chester & Liberty Township OH Real Estate: Beckett Ridge Homeowners Association

Beckett Ridge, West Chester, OhioIf you live in Beckett Ridge and are the owner of record for your property, you received this letter recently:

DEAR BECKETT RIDGE HOMEOWNER;

Beckett Ridge is a diverse community covering over 1800 acres with various types of dwelling units from condos to single family homes.  Since our community was developed over several years and each unique section of our community was required to provide a set of documents for their new homeowners, 33 years later, we have variously similar, but different documents making up the package of homeowner documents for Beckett Ridge.

Over the past two years the Beckett Ridge Homeowners Board hads been evaluating various approaches for consolidating our homeowners’ documents.  These basic documents are used to define our community and when coupled with our restrictions they become very important documents for homebuyers planning to purchase a home in our community and financial companies seeking to finance or insure our homes.  With the assistance of our attorney we have now completed our work on this effort and wish to present to the homeowners of Beckett Ridge a revised set of Declarations and Code of Regulations for your approval.

Voting will be by parcel therefore, only one vote will be allowed per dwelling unit address and one signature per parcel will also be required to validate your ballot.  Official ballots can only be cast  by those Members of the Beckett Ridge Homeowner Association in good standing as of July 1, 2010.  To be considered in good standing all dues and fees must be paid in full on the Parcel by July 1, 2010.  The Board Highly Recommends you vote “YES” in support of this resolution.  The expression of your support for this resolution is very important to all of us.  While we hope you will vote yes, we want you to be aware that consistent with the legal opinion given to the board on February 22, 2010, regarding voting procedures, all Parcels that do not submit a ballot regarding this resolution will be casting a vote in support (Yes) for the resolution.

If you did not have the opportunity to attend our Annual Meeting in March or one of the five HOmeowners Meetings held between April 10th and June 8th then you can view the proposed documents at www.beckett-ridge.org.

Sincerely,

The Beckett Ridge Homeowners Board

Dennis Bender, Dave Burling, George Hulsizer, Debbie Olszowka, Sharon Palm. Terri McGill-Wong and Burt Young

So, whether you support this revision in the homeowners asssocation for Beckett Ridge or not, it is very important that you vote.  Your ballot must be received by July 28th, 2010.
