We are supposed to be about two years away from Phase One being in operation (if the politicians don’t stop fighting, that could be longer of course).

Comparing 44113 Sales in 2009 and 2010
July 17th, 2010 · 2 Comments
A former client emailed me today to ask about sales. There is a lot of media coverage on sales, including whether or not the market has improved. Some are quoting 52% increases here. Well, let’s be a little more realistic lol. Anyway, I’m examining 2010 sales compared to 2009, so I’m using the same time [...]

NuWire Investor writes that housing sales show strong growth. “….The Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor, Ohio metro area followed with 20.5% quarterly and 62% yearly gains….” I certainly saw three times the number of buyers/sellers as last year, but [...]

The average listing price in Fairview as of today is $178,011 and the average amount of time these homes [...]
