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...
