We have been very busy in our North Central Ohio region. Real Estate seems to be gaining steam.

I'm afraid I haven't had much time to blog lately.  At the moment we have a large number of buyers, and not enough listings.  If you are considering listing your home for sale - now is the time.  Interest rates are climbing and show every indication of continuing to increase which will reduce what our buyers can afford to purchase.  If you are in a market with a shortage of listings we have buyers for your market!

Do you own a Lake Erie waterfront condominium?  We have regular inquiries for one year rentals.  Howard Hanna rental listings require one months rent for bringing a tenant to the table.  I had 3 inquiries just this week for a condo at Harbor Walk development in Lorain and another for Whispering Shores in Vermilion.  If you would like to put your condos on our list contact me.  We can do a one tenant only listing.

I'll be at Pine Lakes development in Huron Township just off of State Route 250 south of Sandusky on Saturday from 12 to 3 pm.  Stop in and tour these wonderful condos.  They are stand-alone so you aren't sharing a wall.  Pool, club house and picnic shelter are already built.

Sunday I'll be holding 1900 Put-in-Bay Rd on South Bass Island from 12 to 3 pm.  This is a beautiful home with many of the furnishings included.  Enjoy rental income from the units above the back building.  Surrounded by woodland this home is in a truly beautiful location on the slower southern end of the island.

Our team member Jim Steenstra will be holding open 237 Parkview in the beautiful Lake Erie waterfront community of Avon Lake.  This home is located on a lovely street approximately 5 minutes from Lake Erie.  It is a quick 10 minute bike ride - or less - to the beach.  Jim will be offering 2 free Indians tickets complete with parking passes.  Just sign in at the open house this Sunday, September 15th between 1 and 3 pm, or on Thursday from 6 pm to 8 pm for the Twilight Open House.  Anyone that enters on either day has a chance to win!  Restricted to one entry per household please.

We are getting over 60,000 views of our Facebook page every week.  "Like" us on http://www.TheLakeErieLifestyle.com.  It has been good marketing tool showing off our listings, but it is also a way for us to highlight the region we love.  Restaurants, museums, wineries, musicians - we have so much to offer in our islands, rivers and shores neighborhoods.  You can also follow us on Twitter at @HiseyGroup.
