Garfield Heights Ohio Market Statistics Through End of April 2009

Below you will find Garfield Heights Ohio market statistics for active and pending listings from the first of the year and closed sales for the month of April. The "spring" market had a much slower start than last year, with concern on the part of buyers over jobs, job stability, and losses in the financial markets. The $8000 2009 home buyer tax credit has motivated first time buyers to purchase, but for those who want to move up or downsize it has been a bit more challenging. If you are thinking of selling in the near future, make sure your home is ready for the market and consider your price very carefully as it will be critical to the successful sale of your home.

Garfield Heights Ohio Market Report 2007 vs. 2008 Final Numbers

There is no question that it has been a challenging year in real estate, and 2009 will be plagued with many of the same problems i.e. short sales, foreclosures, financing difficulties , and appraisals that fall short of the purchase price, But homes did sell in 2008 and they will sell in 2009!

Sellers must make pricing their home correctly a top priority. In 2008, we saw asking prices vary widely as it was difficult for many sellers to accept the downturn in the market.  The homes that sold were the ones with realistic prices. The facts that really matter when when pricing your home are the selling prices of other homes in the area, followed by condition and location.

Below is a chart that shows closed homes in Garfield Heights, Ohio through the multiple listing service in 2007 vs. 2008.

There were 6 months in 2008 where sales were ahead of 2007, but I think this can be attributed to the high number of short sales and foreclosed homes. Currently there are approximately 368 homes for sale in Garfield heights, with ~55 of those homes being foreclosures, which is 15% of the inventory. There are undoubtedly many more in the short sale process. The downturn we have experienced can be attributed to the tightening of the mortage belts, sellers staying put instead of downsizing or upsizing, buyers not buying over fear of losing their jobs, just to name a few.

Pricing is everything.  In fact it is critical if you want to sell your home.  Find an agent who will give you an accurate listing price even if it is not the one you were hoping for.
