Brecksville Ohio Real Estate Market Report Second Quarter 2010

Although activity slowed after the tax credit expired, the pending and closed sales are stronger than 1st quarter and that is a positive sign. The low interests rates are a contributing factor, I believe, to the steady sales. It is important to note that the pending and closed sales are indicative of contracts written in May and June. It is also important to note that the (original) deadline to transfer title on a home and still receive the tax credit was June 30th, which also contributed to better numbers. The yellow highlights indicate an increase, the red a decrease.

Broadview Heights Ohio Welcomes Beef O'Brady's, Grand Opening Celebration this Weekend!

Barb Szabo E-pro Realtor Cleveland Ohio Homes (RE/MAX Trinity) — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 15:49:37 -0400

Please help me extend a very warm welcome to Beef O'Brady's, one of Broadview 's newest restaurants! Beef's is co-owned by Sue Herb and Zach Meixner and is located at 9174 Broadview Rd. (440-546-2400) across the street from Assumption church.

I had the opportunity to speak with Zach Meixner who is clearly excited and proud of his affiliation with Beef's. I asked Zach what he most wanted people to know about Beef's and he said, "That it's family friendly". I can attest to that fact as we have already eaten at Beef's 3 times since it opened and it is always filled with families enjoying a meal together.

Here are some of Beef's other attributes:
*member of the Broadiew Heights Chamber of Commerce

*involved in the community, in particular with fund raisers. The most recent one my daughter and I attended was for a young man trying to earn the rank of Eagle Scout. This young man was given a percentage of the sales for folks who came to Beef's during certain hours. (I believe it was from 4-8). The money earned was used for a project at the baseball diamonds.

*an outdoor patio to enjoy when it's not too hot!

*Dining specials
*****Tuesdays, kids under 10 eat for free!
*****Wednesday, $1 off all burgers
*****Thursdays, .45c wings

*catering and party room available
*carry out available for lunch and dinner
*reservations accepted for parties of 10 or more

When I asked Zach if there was a best seller he said it was The Dubliner. (You'll have to go to Beef's to find out exactly what it is;). The Montana Chicken has quickly become my fave! A most tender and moist chicken breast is lightly topped with cheese, bacon, onion straws and barbecue sauce. I've had it all 3 times and it's been perfect every time!
Beef's is on FB and you can connect with them on their business page. Visit them today to find out more about the specials going on today, tomorrow, and Sunday (7/16-7/18) for their Grand Opening Celebration. Mayor Sam Alai was on hand this morning for the ribbon cutting ceremony!

While you are on FB, connect with me, Barb Szabo ReMax Trinity too!

While at Beef's I took some pictures of the happy patrons.

Here are 4 gentlemen who are affiliated with another Broadview Heights Ohio business, Life Core Technologies, located at 7750 Town Centre Dr. 440-546-7120.

It turns out the grandmother of the Chief Operating Officer recently purchased a lovely cluster home I have listed in Brecksville. Small world! I'll be writing about Life Core Technologies soon so stay tuned!

Broadview Heights Ohio Home Days on the Green a Huge Success!

Barb Szabo E-pro Realtor Cleveland Ohio Homes (RE/MAX Trinity) — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 09:51:35 -0400

Last weekend. Lou, Erin, and I were able to enjoy the Broadview Heights Home Days on the Green. This year was, I think, the best ever! A few years ago, the city demolished an old hospital that had been on the city hall grounds and that created a lot more space. In years past, especially on Saturday night, people stood shoulder to shoulder trying to get to the rides and food booths. Not so this year! There was plenty of room for the great food, rides, vendor booths, entertainment, and lots of places to sit and watch the fireworks displays on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday! The weather, though very hot, was perfect. We had a little rain on Friday but other than that it was picture perfect.

The icing on the cake for us was that Erin entered the first ever talent show and won 2nd place which came with a $100 prize. She sang "The Wizard and I" from Wicked which explains her green face!!

A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to all those who worked so hard on this event!

All in a Day's Work....

Barb Szabo E-pro Realtor Cleveland Ohio Homes (RE/MAX Trinity) — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 23:13:38 -0400

Around here, and in other parts of the country I suspect, showings on listings are not to be missed..not ever...for any reason, cause you know....it just might be THE one.

A couple of days a go a showing was scheduled on a beautiful listing of mine. Naturally, I was thrilled. As I was entering my office, I received a call from the showing service that the agent could not get in because the combo he had would not open the lock box. So even though it had been shown alst week without incident, I gave another combo to try. Five minutes later I got a call from the agent who said,"Barb, I have tried both combos and it just will not work."

So I told him I had a spare key (never list a home without making a spare copy of the key) and that I could be at the property in 12 minutes (if I got all green lights). I was about 6 minutes into my trip when he called again and said, "Turn around...I was at the wrong house!"

I laughed my you know what off and thanked him for coming clean!

MacIntosh Farms Broadview Heights Ohio Real Estate Market Report for Second Quarter 2010

It is not surprising to me to see low numbers for contingent and pending sales and decent numbers for closed sales, as many of those that closed were for contracts that were written before April 30th to take advantage of the tax credit. There was a noticeable slow down in May but I am now seeing activity pick up. Current rates for a 15 year fixed loan are 3.95 and 4.25 for a 30 year loan. Always consult a mortgage professional to get a clear understanding of mortgage rates.

A Truly Heartwarming Story!

Barb Szabo E-pro Realtor Cleveland Ohio Homes (RE/MAX Trinity) — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 17:14:49 -0400

Last year I was contacted by Judy whose daughter attends our church. She needed to sell her Mom Alice's home because Alice needed to be in a nursing home.

I sold the home in a few months to a young couple.

Yesterday I received an e-mail from Judy. In it she told me that she, her daughter, and granddaughter were visiting her Mom when a young lady came in asking for Alice. It was the young lady that bought the house and she came with a vase of fresh flowers from Alice's yard. She also brought along pictures of the renovations they made to the house. She told Alice that she did not want her to be sad about her former home, but happy because she and her boyfriend were very happy there.

Judy was very touched by this incredibly kind and thoughtful gesture. She said that now when she drives past the house, she will have one more memory to add to all the others.

New Hampton Broadview Heights Ohio Real Estate Oct./Nov. Market Report 2009

Barb Szabo E-pro Realtor Cleveland Ohio Homes (RE/MAX Trinity) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 19:55:22 -0500

Below you will find the third quarter market statistics along with Oct. and Nov. 2009 for New Hampton Broadview Heights Ohio. Even though there were some numbers that rose slightly, the overall indication is that values are still declining somewhat. Purchase agreements that closed in October and November likely were written in September and October. Fourth quarter sales typically slow down and we are seeing that now. The tax credit extension should help to keep sales somewhat steady and perhaps be the catalyst for earlier sales in the first quarter of 2010, which was not the case in the early part of 2009. Pricing will be key to getting homes sold.

Below you will find the statistics in New Hampton Broadview Heights Ohio for fourth quarter 2009. The closed sales of condos and single family homes stayed steady between the 3rd and 4th quarters, with a significant drop in the one cluster home that closed. It is normal for activity to slow down in the latter part of the fourth quarter, and we have yet to see what the first quarter of 2010 will bring, as much of what will close n the first quarter of 2010 will be business that was written in the 4th quarter of 2009.
