The Grass is Greener in the Columbus Real Estate Market

April 29th, 2008 categories: About Realtors, Columbus, Real Estate News, Real Estate Professionals

No, I am not talking about the long green grass we all have been mowing twice a week lately! I am talking about the Columbus Housing Market and some of the positives which seem to be repeatedly overlooked by the media bent on highlighting the negatives of our industry’s downturn.

Recently, The Columbus Board of Realtors, The Columbus Housing Partnership, and The Building Industry of Central Ohio have united to get the word out to the public about all the good things happening in the Columbus housing market. Through “The Grass is Greener Here” Campaign these organizations aim to inform the public about the reality of our current market through the following core points:

The Columbus, Ohio housing market is healthy and stable
It is a great time to buy
Low interest rates are helping to keep the market strong
There are many reasons to be optimistic
Waiting too long to get a good deal could cost Homebuyers in the end
Buyers and Sellers should talk to market experts and not allow the media to direct their housing plans
Homeownership is still a great investment

Check out The Grass is Greener Here to get detailed information on each of these points and gain some insight into the Central Ohio Housing Market.

I will agree that the market has been tougher than in some of the glory days of the past, but homes are selling and Buyers are buying. The national media can not be all wrong, but it is critical to remember that real estate is very much a local business. There are always areas experiencing declines while others are seeing strong markets. Making generalizations on a national scale can be dangerous and serve to further erode confidence.

If Buying or Selling a home in the Columbus area may be in your future, get the facts, get a good real estate professional and get moving!

It isn’t surprising that the media didn’t publicize the fact that your real estate market is doing well. They do the same thing to mine! We only hear about the bad….
