Written by Jennifer Cox on November 19, 2009
Stalled Luxury Home Sales
A few months ago I gave you information about the upscale housing market in the Greater Cincinnati area. Those areas included Butler, Warren, Hamilton and Clermont counties. We discussed the Jumbo Mortgage Market, and how tight control on the interest rates for the luxury home market may be slowing the housing market, at the “grass roots” level.
I just put together an update with closed sales stats through November 15, 2009. I thought you might like an update. Read more

Our "leaf lawn"
Did you see that gorgeous full moon last night? It was a beautiful sight. I love the chilly nights and cool days. The leaves are everywhere! I have to confess: We don’t do a great job of raking at our house. Never have and probably never will. We just like the look of the scattered leaves. I am glad to see that several of our neighbors do too. We aren’t the only house on the block with a “leaf lawn”. Read more

Back to school in Cincinnati!
“Do you have any lunch money?” “What should I wear tomorrow Mom?” “ Are my new jeans clean?”
School is back in session and there is a new rhythm to life. The kids’ new clothes are hanging in the closet ready for the cool, brisk fall air. The school buses are out and running, classes are in session and it’s all about the Friday night football. Read more
Once Upon a Time, In a Land Far Away, The Re-Fi Appraisal Wasn’t So Deadly
Written by Jennifer Cox on June 28, 2009
Once upon a time (13 years ago), in a far away land (east side of Cincinnati) lived a beautiful princess (well, I’m “ok” looking, but certainly no princess). The beautiful princess wanted to help nice people live in pretty castles. When it came time for nice people to sell their castle, the princess wanted to make sure her nice clients took home plenty of gold coins as a result of the sale. The princess was a pretty quick learner, and very quickly became a trusted expert in castle buying and selling in the far away land. Then, one day, a terrible darkness fell across the land. Suddenly, the castles were not selling quickly, or for as much coin! Suddenly the nice people were cranky! They didn’t like what the princess would show them! Some sounded distinctly like grumbling dragons when they spoke to her after reviewing numbers and hard evidence that the castle market was slowing dramatically. Many wanted to send her to the dungeon. Others just tossed her off the highest turret. She often landed in the moat and her princess frocks would be soiled. Read more

The historical price range of $163,000 to $171,000 was broken by the housing bubble that started in the late 1990s. The housing bubble peaked in 2005 when the average inflation adjusted price of a single family home was over $205,000. Read more
Cincinnati’s Luxury Home Market- What Happened? Do I Care?
Written by Jennifer Cox on May 19, 2009
Go ahead. Admit it. You like to peek in the windows. It’s why each year Homearama draws a crowd. It’s why Robin Leach hosted Lifestyle’s of the Rich & Famous, prompting MTV to run “Cribs”. It’s why we flip through the internet photos of $1,000,000 plus homes online that we will certainly never occupy. It’s just fun and interesting to view the interior of luxury homes. To dream. To imagine. To steal decorating ideas for our more modest abode. Did you know that your Harvard educated brother –in-law and his physician wife will have a more difficult time obtaining a loan for their $1.5 million dream home, than you will for your lovely Polo Fields or Cherry Blossom move-up home? Tis’ true! Read more
Temporary Housing Solutions for Future Cincinnati Home Buyers
Written by Jennifer Cox on February 3, 2009
I know that coming into a new area can be quite an adventure! We are hoping that by continuing to provide community information, links to local attractions and keeping you up to date on events in the Greater Cincinnati area, that as a “soon-to-be” Cincinnatian, you start to feel comfortable with your future new home. We have talked with a large number of people that are coming to the area with a new job, but need to sell their home “somewhere else” before they are able to buy locally. I thought it might be helpful to let you know that there are some sources for short term living arrangements. Read more
