JUST STUFF: So - How is Your Northern Ohio Winter ?

It's been a cold and blustery winter so far.  We have had a surprising number of calls and showings despite the bitter weather.  Call us today to start discussing listing your home for spring sales.

Interest Rates in 2014
So what is going on with interest rates in 2014?  Many "experts" are predicting rates going up to as much as 6% in 2014.  I read a couple that are even predicting 7%.  If this happens it will reduce the price of the homes people will be able to pay when purchasing a home.  Will this slow down the market?  Only time will tell, but if you are considering purchasing a home and are able to purchase now I would suggest you start looking immediately.  Call us today to begin your search.

New Zillow Website
I recently took advantage of my premier Zillow status (more pictures, more traffic, more buyers for YOUR home) and created a personal website on Zillow.com.  I'll need to continue to tweak it - but feel free to check it out:  http://www.RealEstateIslandGuy.com.  It is geared towards our island clients obviously.  We probably have a website focused on your market - call for details on how we bring in buyers for your real estate.

www.OhioWaterfrontCondos.com
Our website focused on waterfront condominiums has undergone some updates, and will get more upgrades over the winter.  If you have a condominium development between Cleveland Ohio and the Lake Erie Islands which is on the water or islands, or with access to the water contact me today to add your development to our website.  It is free!  What is in it for us?  We attract more buyers for units for sale in your neighborhood, and we attract more sellers that own island and waterfront condominiums along Ohio's Northcoast.  We'd love to list your property, but would be happy to take photos, info and add your development and a tour without a listing.  Increase interest in your development for future property sales.  More interest often = stronger prices.
