As you probably know, 2016 was a strong year for the southwest Ohio real estate market, especially here in our office. We continue to lead the local market, and we’re privileged to have helped more than 300 families with their real estate needs.

This year is off to a fast start as well. As of January 27th, we’ve already sold 46 houses; one every 14 hours. As we look at the broader market in all of southwest Ohio, we find great news for everyone thinking about selling their house. Inventory levels are very low, meaning demand is higher for everyone. We see listed homes get lots of showings from day one and multiple offers are common.

When inventory is below six months of supply, it’s considered favorable for home sellers. Our MLS shows that there’s now less than four months of inventory currently available in our market. If you're selling your house, my advice is not to wait for the spring, when you’ll have to face more competition.

This situation might seem like a problem for home buyers, right? Not necessarily, but it requires a different strategy, along with expert advice and guidance. That’s where our team of experts can help.
Don’t wait for spring to sell when you’ll have to face much more competition.
For example, when homes are in high demand and sell within days of being listed, how should that affect the way you make your offer? We have little-known strategies not used by other agents that we can write into your offer that will give you an advantage over other buyers. This kind of expert advice can be the difference between success and losing out on the home you want to buy. We also give our VIP buyers access to proprietary software for immediate access to all the newest, hottest listings—you’ll hear about them before anyone else.

We can also let you know about great deals coming soon. Since we sell so many homes, we have the inside track on a lot of listed homes. This allows you to be the first to see them when they become available.

We’re really excited about 2017 because it’s going to be a stellar year in the southwest Ohio market. If you have any questions or you’re thinking about buying or selling a home here, give me a call or send me an email. I’m here to help!
