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.

Tis’ true! Read more
