Jul. 11, 2007 - psst real estate industry.. in Central Ohio or outside
ActiveRain just had it's first birthday and here is a press release about the ActiveRain Real Estate Network's phenomenal growth....
Join ActiveRain There's still room for real estate agents, stagers, appraisers, inspectors, lenders, title people etc.
Happy Birthday and congratulations. The gauge in the press release which I find very interesting is that ActiveRain grew faster in it's first year than Wikipedia did in their first year.

Greater Columbus? This may or may not be the Greater Columbus area, this is the entire Columbus Board of REALTORS MLS area.
Some months I have called this market report Central Ohio. Someone told me if I use the same title each month, it may confuse Google, MSN, Yahoo etc. Who knew?
The properties represented by the graph and table are all counties in the Columbus Board of REALTORS® Multiple Listing Service. Accordng to the boards website: "The Columbus Board of REALTORS® Multiple Listing Service (MLS) serves all of Franklin, Delaware, Fayette, Madison, Morrow and Union Counties and parts of Champagne, Clark, Licking, Fairfield, Knox, Logan, Marion and Pickaway Counties."
The months of inventory is very similar to Franklin and Delaware counties with over 10 months supply of housing. The saverage sale price is down slightly. Average days on market is up by 15 days over March 2006. This is single families and condominiums for the past 15 months.

If you can send more than 40 unique links, you’re my hero. I’ll build all of these links into a page on BloodhoundBlog, with a link to the source HTML if you want to mirror the list.
I think there are 41 there really... and I took off Real Estate Snippets, Sellsius and a bunch because it was on the Bloodhound Blog ... then my friend Mo in MI's blog, Teresa's blog, Ann Cummings from Jonathan and Toby's list but there could be duplicate blogs to the three blogs.... I would not worry too much about it... this will get crazy...

PDF - Trulia Trends report a snapshot of real estate trends and search behavior.... Columbus Ohio is one of the markets featured in Trulia's January 2007 Trend Report. How people search Trulia is outlined in this five page report (PDF.)

It surprised me to read Columbus had a the highest year over year increase... of the 15 markets in the report....11% Trulia just started covering a number of markets including Columbus fall 2006... what is Trulia using for last year (2005) to determine that increase?
It surprises me to read that Columbus had a $99,900 median list price (September to November '06) Average list price was $169,572 in Decemeber 2006... chart on page 1, sounds reasonable. These are just what is on Trulia... ? Not the whole market... (my latest market report really it's TrendGraphix Report from Columbus Board of REALTORS® data really not mine says: median for the entire MLS is $142,00 for November 2006... was $148,000 in November and December 2005. Average list price for the same area (let's call it Greater Columubus was $215,000 at the end of November 2006....compared to $218,000 and $216,000 in November and December 2005. I believe from reading this report Trulia is calling Columbus, the Columbus city limits... The City of Columbus Ohio, not greater Columbus. The Central Ohio market report is based on sales and listings in the Columbus Board of REALTORS® Multiple Listing Service which serves all of Franklin, Delaware, Fayette, Madison, Morrow and Union counties and parts of Champagne, Clark, Licking, Fairfield, Knox, Logan, Marion and Pickaway counties.
It suprises me that consumers looking at Columbus are also looking at Dublin, Hilliard and Cleveland? Not the Dublin and Hilliard part but Cleveland. For comparison? Rather than eeny meeny, miney mo... I'm moving to Columbus OH.... The report says LA consumers also look at San Francisco homes on Trulia...
Not surprising the Columbus neighborhoods people look at on Trulia are German Village, Clintonville and Victorian Village... interesting neighborhoods....maybe not the meat and potatoes of what is selling in Columbus but the house there sure are fun to look at...
What really, really shocked me though is that the Average Columbus Home has 2.9 bedrooms and 1.8 baths. Now that's averaging.. I like Trulia but find that truly confusing...
