Welcome to my July 2008 report on the state of the real estate market for Geauga County. Please feel free to refer to last month’s posting to watch for changes.
As a service to all potential buyers and sellers, I would be happy to provide you with statistics on your county, your town, your price range, etc. so you can get a clear picture of how many homes are selling and how long they take to sell. To give you an overall picture of Geauga County as a whole, I’ve included a few statistics for your review!
The current trend (as of July, 2008) is a healthy decrease in the number of homes for sale. In July of 2007 there were 989 homes on the market, of which 83 sold. In July of 2008, there were 924 homes on the market, of which 67 sold. In July of 2007, for those homes that did sell, they were on the market an average of only 83 days. For those homes that sold in July of 2008, the average days on market were 66, representing a solid decrease of 17 days from one year to the next. So, the number of homes on the market has reduced and the number of homes sold has reduced as well, but there does seem to be some improvement occuring. Refer to the chart below for a visual representation:
What does this mean if you’re thinking of selling and you want to be amongst the SOLDs? It’s simple!
If you have all three of these, there is no reason you shouldn’t end up with a nice big “SOLD” sign in your yard, but miss any one of them and you’ll be sitting around waiting…
