Ok. So your thinking the market has not improved things are not moving.  Why should I list my home?  I am sure that is not the case for you because if you looked recently in Avon Lake, homes are selling and selling very fast.  the graph below shows the current inventory in Avon Lake:   Note that the home inventory is at 48 days on the market right now which appears to be about the medium for the last 3 months.  Sharp spike back in May was tied to one home with a long stay and latter price adjustment.  This same graph shows list price to sale price at about 98% which is great because that is the number we had 11 years about before all the crashing. Lets look at home values.  Last year when I did a similiar post I quoted $92 -$108 a foot in an overall snap shot blending developments and s... 09/28/2013

Ah yes the fall and soon to be winter is near.  It is that time now to get your home ready.  Here are some suggestions Inspect your roof, gutters and leaders. It's best to hold off until later in the fall when most leaves have fallen to have your gutters cleaned.

And be sure to check for insects before moving indoors. Have your chimneys cleaned before that first chilly night. Buildup of residue and blockages are a common cause of house fires. This is a job for a chimney professional.       Don't forget to schedule your heating system serviceand make sure to have your air handlerfilters changed.  Consider installing a generator now – before the forecas... 09/25/2013

 If you’re a property owner, autumn can be very tiring as it is that time of the year when maintenance efforts and repairs must be carried out. Due to the fall of the leaves, dry twigs and branches, gutters and downspouts instantly get clogged and you need to make sure that before the winter rains start, you would have to clean these important features to prevent damages that can set your finances back by thousands of dollars.   Gutters are designed to provide rainwater an easy and unobstructed path off your roof.  However, during the fall, they can become so clogged up with leaves, twigs, branches and other debris. If not addressed properly, when rains come, the water finds other channels to flow through and you can experience leaks through your ceiling and walls. Also, when the water ... 09/23/2013

Here are some tips in getting ready for that cold weather in the Avon Lake area.   Clean out gutters, disconnect and drain all outside hoses. If possible, shut off outside water valves. Insulate walls and attics, and caulk and weather-strip doors and windows. Repair roof leaks and remove tree branches that could become weighted down with ice or snow and fall on your house or your neighbor's house. Wrap water pipes in your basement or crawl spaces with insulation sleeves to slow heat transfer. Consider an insulated blanket for your hot water heater. If you have a fireplace, keep the flue closed when you're not using it. Have a contractor check your roof to see if it would sustain the weight of a heavy snowfall. Make sure your furniture isn't blocking your home’s heating vents. During col... 09/05/2013
