March Hare stuffing the dormouses head in a teapot

Happy March 1st.  Did you say "Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit " first thing in the month for luck?

Last year in March... a rabbit rerun? My Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit post explained the John Tenniel drawings from Allice in Wonderland and what a March Hare is... and who the March Hare and the Mad Hatter are stuffing in a teapot... March 2007 was a long Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit post.

Happy March 2008!

Happy March Madness!

according to Today's Columbus Dispatch has some benefits for those in Central Ohio with a Leap Day Birthdays... "Calendar quirk gives proud few a bounce" written by Kathy Lynn Gray:

"Boston Market restaurants will give anyone with a leap day birthday a free lunch, said Angela Proctor, spokeswoman for the chain.

"We looked up how many people had birthdays that day and decided this is a fun thing to do," she said.

Papa John's Pizza is offering a free pizza for birthday folks who order it from www.papajohns.com and pick it up at a local pizzeria. "

The rest of us? McDonalds has a breakfast burrito for free... yesterday and today.  I am not sure it that was national or local.

Feb. 28, 2008 - Powell Property Values Going UP?

Zillow says the values in Powell went up in the 4th Quarter of 2008.

 

Columbus on Zillow's Zindex

Assuming Zillow is talking the Powell Corporation (City of Powell) not the mailing address Powell 43065... from the 2-15-2008 Discover Columbus entry here...

The Red of this spectrum Home Values are Up 9%+   Hot?

Powell + 11.6%
Sunbury + 9.7%

Remember Zillow measures the values of all homes... not just the homes for sale or sold...and Zillow measures all homes (not just condo and single family)

Powell Home Sales for 15 months....

Confusing.  I hope Zillow's crystal ball is correct and the value of porperties in Powell are increasing.

The Zillow  info came from the Zillow call I listened to a few weeks back.  The statistics in the table are from TrendGraphix.  Real Living HER is the only company in Central Ohio with access to TrendGraphix.  The numbers come from the Columbus Board of Realtors MLS.
